Developers' Note: Does the compatibility of iOS apps on iPad affect the launch of apps?

How will an iOS app perform on iPad when it is not specifically adapted for iPad? In fact, Apple has done simple adaptation work for these apps. This means that even if the app is mainly for iPhone users, it can basically run normally on iPad. Users can install and use these apps, but there may be some differences in display effects and functional experience. For example, the app may not take full advantage of the large screen of iPad, and the display of interface elements may not be optimized enough, but these will not seriously affect the normal use of users.

Apple has been committed to improving the user experience. As early as April 30, 2020, it began to require all iPad apps submitted to the App Store to support all iPad screens and be built with iOS 13 SDK or higher. The purpose of this move is to make developers pay more attention to the adaptation of iPad apps and ensure that users can get a high-quality experience when using different devices. However, for those apps that have not yet been fully adapted to iPad, Apple has also given developers a certain buffer time to update and improve.

For iOS developers, in the process of developing apps, it is indeed necessary to consider the adaptation of different devices. But you don’t have to worry too much, because Apple’s simple adaptation has provided a certain basic guarantee for the operation of apps on iPad. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of development tools, adaptation problems are becoming easier to solve. Developers can use various tools and frameworks to adapt applications more efficiently, so that applications can be displayed in the best state on various devices.
