Remove support for iPhone with new updated version of app

Hi,

We released few versions of our app with universal support ( i.e. app is supported both on iPhone and iPad). Now with new version of our app (1.14) we want that this version should be available to iPad only. This means 1.14 should be available only on iPad and iPhone user may not able to install it. But when we change setting in Xcode from Universal to iPad only it gives error while uploading Dipa to app store that if previous version of app supported iPhone then in updated version of app we cannot remove iPhone support. Now we are looking for solution to this problem. Please guide us what are way to over come this issue. Due to this issue we have to delay our app release so kindly give us possible suggestions as soon as possible.

It's my understanding that once an app is released and supports certain devices (iPhone and iPad) those devices can't be removed from support. I tried doing the same also.

See Tech QA1623:


Q: Why am I getting an error about supporting previous devices when I upload an update of my app?
