I have several iPhone apps, which i want to convert them to iPad. Is there a link where i can have a look at simple procedures about how to convert iPhons apps into iPad compatible? I already installed 3.2 SDK etc., having development environment ready. Forgive me if it is a repeated question.

Can I use iPhone apps on iPad?

So, will your favorite iPhone app work on your iPad? If it's universal or iPhone-specific, the answer is yes. Ideally, you'll want a universal app, especially if you also use an iPhone. You'll get two apps in one, and both will make the best of the devices they're installed on.

Why does my iPad say app not compatible with iPad?

This is probably because the software on your iPad is too old to support the apps you download. Sometimes you can be lucky that the App Store offers an older version that matches the iOS version you are on. In that case, it will happen when trying to download.

You really should redesign your iPhone apps for iPad (not just make them bigger), but if you just want to see what it looks without making any changes in code. Add the following to your Info.plist,

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
<integer>2</integer>
</array>
