iPad App to iPhone App

KatApps

Hey all..
I've created a few apps formatted for iPad and am going thru the process to make them available thru iPhone as well. I've already gone thru GS publishing and now trying to upload the newly formatted app into iTunes. But iTunes is saying that the name and bundle id that I've entered has already been used (this is true because I used the same name/bundle id when I uploaded them for iPad).. So.. what do I do here? Is there another area that I'm missing specifically for uploading iPhone apps to iTunes?? Thank YOU!

Nope same area, you just have to create a new bundle id and provisioning file (same as you did for the iPad), republish the game through GS in iPhone size and then submit to Apple.

bundle ID has to be unique for each game regardless is it same version for ipad or iphone format. else u will hv problem later when running updates.

Thanks for the feedback!
I get that I'll have to create a new bundle id, and was able to create a testing profile for iPhone, but can't remember how to get the distribution profile so I can actually upload to the store to sell ... can someone point me in the right direction? (I paid $99 once already to apple to create iPad apps, do I have to pay another $99 to create iPhone apps?)

no. 99 just once for all app store. You make an app ID then a provisioning profile (distribution). Load that into Xcode by double clicking it once downloaded.

The thing to remember is unless it's universal (which GS doesn't support yet) your iPad apps and your iPhone apps will be 2 separate apps, so you'll need to come up with a unique name for them. iPhone = 'game', iPad = 'game HD'. for example.

A tip for managing provisioning profiles. I always prefix my profiles with either DEV or DIS. Development or Distribution. EG DEVgame or DISgame. That's how I know which one to use when publishing. You could take this further and say DEVgame and DEVgameHD. It's very important to keep on top of your profiles and use the correct one.

PS you create your profiles in the provisioning portal on the apple dev site. Create App Id first then profile.

I really appreciate your thorough reply Doguz, it helped me a lot

I changed the App title, gave it a new bundle id, AND finally found how to create the separate distribution profile for iPhone apps (I went to the provisioning portal on the app dev site, clicked provisioning tab on the left and clicked the "distribution" tab - which was the thing I was overlooking before- to create my new profile).

So, thanks again everyone.. I think I'm good to go from here.. fingers crossed!
