This was a complete surprise and shock. I might have thought twice if I knew about this before I started working on this. Also, this was raised 4 years ago and we are still talking about this.

Does this include Android tablets too?

Or does it work there?

Absolutely a must to be able to create apps for Tablets!

+1 I'd like to be able to build a separate app just for the iPad that takes advantage of the larger real estate. In addition, when publishing to app store, specify if app is designed for iPhone, iPad, (and now optional allow Mac M1 style processors to load app on desktop). You have to specify these options in the build, can't do it when publishing to app store.

Why do the apps publish so strangely on tablets if the app can adapt to different screen sizes?

It's mind-boggling that this wasn't a 0.0.1 setting. How else do we design for iPad? Also, the ability to force landscape as well.
