IPad only apps?

is it possible that apps built for the iPad (specifically iWork for iPad, and iBooks, to name a few) will be updated to support the iPhone and iPod Touch?

Lenej--
I was wondering that too, it seems the Ipad caught the developers full attention and that caused the smaller screen devices(like the Iphone/Ipod touch) to fall behind in applications choices. Developers are hoping to cash in on the iPad phenomenon just as they did with the iPhone. in fact, many feel that the higher prices of iPad apps could make the iPad an even more lucrative platform for entrepreneurial minds with Objective-C development skills.
Even there is a ABC application on the app store that let's you watch free online episodes, and also a netdlix app, while the iPhone/iPod touch stayed behind. with an Ipad tablet much stronger features, a larger interface, and more multitouch options, developers can create stunning, high-quality apps no wonder why developers has their full attention.How much attention will app developers will place exclusively in the iPad? I will probably say their full attention while putting the 3.5 inch screen size just aside for a long time. But let's not get panicky yet, with the release of an new Iphone OS 4.0 software it looks like the Iphone/iPod touch is back to being the center of attention today thanks to that recent announcements from apple. Let's hope that this time, it will being some attention back to the Ipods and the Iphones.

  • Step by Step guide for upload iPad only apps

    Please note that this is not derived from me alone.
    This Knowledge is derived from three forum members, DutyFarm, ChoosingNameCanBeSoXXX & Dei_Machiavelli.
    I just add the solution for generate the .xcent file.
    [Atleast enough for me to make it work.]
    Welcome that if anyone find that this step by step guide not detail enough, you can copy and add more points and post again.
    Step 1:
    Make sure that all the Icons for the iPad are accounted for because if you don't, Application Loader will Scream
    [For some strange reason, you have to add the Old iPhone Icon Size as well]:
                             Old iPhone: 57 by 57 [Icon]
                 Start Up Icon for iPad: 72 by 72 [Icon-iPad.png].
    SpotLight Search for iPad Must Have: 48 by 48 [Icon-iPad-spot.png]
    Step 2:
    Load the Mac, unzip your *.ipa file, place the *.app file on your desktop and modify its internal Info.plist file.
    Change 3.0 to 3.2 here:
    <key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
    <string>3.2</string>
    Step 3:
    Because after you change the Info.plist file by your own way, the file will changed to wrong codesign.
    So that will need this step to change it back to right codesign which can success upload to apple store.
    Create this weird NameOfYourApp.xcent file on your desktop:
    That strange 10 digit is the App ID:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>application-identifier</key>
        <string>APP_ID_Letters_&_NUMBER_HERE.com.whatever.YourAppName</string >
        <key>get-task-allow</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Step 4:
    Now Type this in Terminal:
    /usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name" "--resource-rules=/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app/ResourceRules.pl ist" --entitlements "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.xcent" "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app"
    iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name  << This you can check back at your Cert in  Keychain.
    /Users/ABC/Desktop/ : here is assume that your username in you Mac OS is ABC. But more easily, you can put all the file at any path you want.
    I just put all files at the iPad folder at system disk root. so that the path just /iPad/ .
    OK, if no error come out, congrats that you are done. You can upload the app by Application Loader. (Assume that you know what is it, and need to zip you .ipa before upload)
    BUT, LIKE ME and some member here, we see two error after the Step 4 command as below:
    /Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: unrecognized blob type (accepting blindly)
    /Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: invalid length in entitlement blob
    After few night try..... finally I found out the solution and just successfully submit the iPad App!!!
    The main problem was we used a wrong method to create that stupid MyApp.xcent file!!!!
    I used many many method, use Mac text editor, Window notepad, Mac/ Window Dreamweaver as .xml......
    but all facing the strange "invalid length in entitlement blob"
    why invalid length?!?! so I try to search for what is .xcent..... finally I found the following webpage
    http://www.246tnt.com/iPhone/
    it's talk about codesign and entitlement files.
    then..... I FOUND .xcent NOT ONLY A SAMLPE TEXT FILE!!!!!
    in the middle of the link above, there are a highlighted simple script , which is a python script to help us generate a .xcent entitlement file!!!!!
    Here is step by step solution to solve this error:
    1) just download the .py file here: simple script
    2) put the .py file anywhere you like, or just simply put in the root of you mac
    3) turn on the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), goto the folder where you put the .py
    4) TYPE: python gen_entitlements.py 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp myApp.xcent
        Where 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp is your AppID with BundleID,
        myApp.xcent is the file will be generate to you
    5) Finally you can see the .xcent which make me nearly crazy for a week!!!!!!!!
    6) Use this .xcent file to run that codesign script (Step 4 above)
    7) Congratulation the codesign changed and you can zip your app and upload it
    I have spent many hours for this simple stuff.........so sad........>.<
    Hope this post can help all guys who still mad on this error when trying to upload a iPad only apps.
    Good luck!!

    I think I followed everything very closely, but I am getting these errors when trying to run the codesign script
    here is my script command:
    /usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Nethercottage Games, LLC" "--resource-rules=/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/ResourceRules.plist" --entitlements "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.xcent" "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app"
    Here is the error I get:
    /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: replacing invalid existing signature
    codesign_allocate: object: /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/book1 malformed object (unknown load command 9)
    /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: object file format invalid or unsuitable
    Any help on this please?

  • Ipad only app Live (submission to approval 5 days)

    Hi
    My ipad only app was approved in 5 days, I though it was going to take weeks
    Its a full-on educational app, so maybe apple are pushing these?
    Thanks to all who helped with re-codesigning and xcent stuff.

    Big thanks for your reply
    Really helped me on my long understanding way to upgrade my live chat application to
    work with IOS devices.
    So lets continue... make this important post to be a good helper for all developers on their way to stream to IOS devices.
    If you can I clarify this - Nitin Goel says:
    "Remember, that you need to publish video as H264 codec and audio as AAC/HEAAC for it to work with ios player.. Flash player may not yet support this combination.."
    It is not possible for me to use Flash Media Live Encoder.
    In this article:
    http://sonnati.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/a-dream-comes-true-h-264-encoding-into-flash-playe r-11/
    it says:
    "A dream comes true: H.264 encoding into Flash Player 11"
    and its done by this actionscript 3 code:
    var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
    h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_2);
    stream.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
    which will be connected to the NetStream like this i guess:
    var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
    h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_2);
    nc = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect("rtmp://example.com/livepkgr");
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    ns.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
    ns.publish("livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent");
    Is this what need to be done in order to publish video as H264 from webcam and Flash Player 11 in user browser?
    And what about publish audio as AAC/HEAAC?
    Another important thing:
    I am writing my actionscript 3 code in my flash CS4 and publish it to swf.
    With this code obviously it give me error...
    do i need to upgrade to CS5 or CS5.5 and then i will be able to publish with this code?
    again big thanks for any help

  • Why do GameCenter notifications for an iPad-only app only show on my phone?

    A friend has been sending me invites to the Magic 2013 app.  The GameCenter notifications have only been arriving on my iPhone however, not my iPad. It's an iPad only app.  What gives?
    Greg

    The YouTube app is not included with iOS 6. Google offers their own app for free via the iTunes Store, though they do not yet have an iPad version. The iPhone version will work, though not at the full screen size. There are also third-party alternatives, one of which may suit you better. Jasmine is one that a number of people are recommending. You can also use the mobile version of the YouTube site
    http://m.youtube.com
    which you can save to your home screens as an icon.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • Anyway to browse ALL iPad ONLY APPS easily????

    Does anyone know of anyway to easily browse all iPad only apps and be able to sort them by release date? The interface on itunes is horrible on the computer (mac) and on the ipad if you want to just have a list of all ipad only apps. It only has the "new and noteworthy" section which does not include them all. So does anyone have any recommendations of a nice way to see new apps? Third party sites are ok.

    iTunes -> iTunes Store (under STORE in side bar) -> In right side bar Paid Apps -> iPad -> See All
    will display "TOP PAID iPad APPS".
    iTunes -> iTunes Store (under STORE in side bar) -> In right side bar Free Apps -> iPad -> See All
    will display "TOP FREE iPad APPS"
    Good luck...

  • I'm subscribe creative cloud membership, but the individual membership limits to produce iPad only app. How can I solve this problem? DPS app builder is not showing ipad iphone option, and membership is requiring enterprise subscription.

    Hi,
    I'm operating digital publishing company, and I'm an individual subscriber of CC.
    When I use DPS app builder for making ipad+iphone app, the DPS is only showing iPad option as default.
    And it's not possible to enroll Newsstand app either.
    How can I make ipad+iphone app which is fully supporting newsstand?
    Is it possible upgrading from individual to professional/enterprise subscriber?

    You will need at least a professional DPS account. Creative Cloud allows only single edition iPad apps.

  • IPad only app stop working after upgrading iOS

    After I updating my iOS from 7 to 8.1 one of my apps not loading. The only thing that as change with app that's not loading is it went from a Single-Folio to a Multii-Folio app subscription. But was working fine in iOS 7 on iPad
         Error: Cannot install item, please restart the app and download your purchase again.
    Any help fixing this problem will be appreciated!

    Bob, I designed the iPad app version of a publication called NASA Spinoff. The first version 2012 was uploaded May 2013 as a Single-Folio  and then we made  a Multii-Folio app in Aug 2014 for the 2013 version its a annual pub. We have 2 versions now and working this years app.
    As a NASA contracter, NASA creates the apps from folios that I upload to NASA folio producer. All was well until they created the Multii-Folio.
    I think its the way the Multii-Folio app setup.  It was working in iOS 7

  • My settings in the AppStore only allow me to search for iPad only apps or iPhone only, not both. How do I fix this?

    I have been having trouble downloading apps that are on the the store but not iPad exclusive or iPhone exclusive. So apps available on both devices are not available to me

    Are you sure?
    An App that appears in the iPad Store, for example, may be useable on the iPhone.  If it is, there would be a small "+" sign in the upper left of the price (or free) indicator.

  • Ipad only apps?  Again Adobe misses the mark....

    Once again Adobe misses the mark on keeping in touch with the Android community (at this point larger than iOS)

    Yes very sad to see no Android support or indeed any other mobile platform.  He kept saying the three pillars, "Desktop Apps, Mobile Apps, Services".  He should have just said "Apple Mobile", "Apple Mobile", "Apple Mobile".
    I tried to cancel my subsciption becuase it has now been devalued by one third but guess what?   it is currently impossible to do so using your online account management.  Amazing!!
    I have been given a phone number to call, lets see if that works!!

  • IPhone only app

    Hi
    I have successfully uploaded two ipad only apps using the xcent stuff to resign certifs submitted by duty farm and others and I was able to
    UL to store via application loader.  Now I have an iphone only build created with packager and I'm getting the invalid codesign error.
    I have a feeling that its the way flash has created my iphone only app. I notice in the plist for the iphone only app it has NSMainNIBFile ipad entry
    so wonder if that's the problem?  I have the correct distribution certif that matches the bundle ID and have managed to get a number of apps
    in the store already, but they have been either ipad only or ipad/iphone not just an iphone only app
    if anyone has any idea where to go from here
    cheers

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    Hi.. My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?
