hi guys i'm working on an iphone 5 game and i was thinking if i make two different apps one supporting iPhone 5 and other 4/4s , it would be problematic on app store? or can i make that just the iphone 4/4s users see his respective version of the app and so on ?

Thanks

    I dont think this would work, as you would be submitting the exact same game, twice, to the same Appstore, the second submission would be rejected i would imagine as a duplicate.

    You need to make a build that works for both iPhone 5 & iPhone 4, rather through Letterboxing or Overscanning. Im pretty sure you can't create two iPhone apps, targeting each device, as the Appstore is the same for both devices, not separate.

    You also have to think, how this would be confusing and frustrating for customers, discovering your app on the store, and seeing two versions of it and being unsure which one to download, could even put them off purchasing. Theres alot of "dum" people when it comes to technology, Apple customers are no exception - simplicity is key.

    I'm almost certain  won't allow this. It's their new device, and they don't want buyers discouraged by having to buy apps twice to support all of their devices.
