Hello,
I’m running into an issue with Apple App Review and wanted to get some advice from the community.
My app, Afri-BFFs, is a friendship-making app designed as a mobile-first iPhone experience. In App Store Connect, the UIDeviceFamily is explicitly set to iPhone only, and the app is not intended or optimized for iPad.
However, App Review keeps rejecting the app, citing iPad compatibility issues. Their feedback suggests that the app should function on iPad or that UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities should reflect iPhone-specific functionality.
My questions are:
Is setting UIDeviceFamily to iPhone sufficient to restrict the app to iPhone in App Store distribution?
Does App Review expect a UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities entry even if the app doesn’t rely on iPhone-specific hardware?
Has anyone else in the social/friendship or dating app category encountered this, and how did you resolve it?
Any guidance, examples, or references to Apple documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
