My app has one App Store Connect listing with released iOS, tvOS, and native visionOS versions.
I have temporarily discontinued native visionOS development due to very limited adoption and no access to a physical Vision Pro for ongoing testing. I would like Vision Pro users to receive my iPad app through “Designed for iPad” compatibility instead.
Xcode is configured with “Apple Vision (Designed for iPad)” and correctly produces an iOS build. I am not trying to generate another native visionOS build.
The obstacle is the existing published visionOS version. Apple’s documentation says that iPad compatibility is unavailable when the app already supports native visionOS, and that a platform cannot be deleted once a build has been uploaded.
Has anyone successfully made this transition while keeping the same App Store Connect record?
Specifically:
-
Is there a supported way to retire the native visionOS version and offer the compatible iPad app?
-
Can Apple Developer Support enable this if App Store Connect cannot?
-
What happens to existing native visionOS installations?
I would appreciate any firsthand experience or clarification from Apple on whether this transition is supported.
