2.4.1iPhone and iPad compatibility

What this guideline means

Apps marked as compatible with iPad need a UI that's actually functional at iPad's screen size and orientation options, not a scaled-up iPhone interface with broken layouts or unusable controls.

Why apps actually get flagged

Common with apps built iPhone-first that check the "supports iPad" box without ever testing the layout on a larger screen.

A real example

"Your app does not function as expected on iPad, per guideline 2.4.1. Elements of the interface appear cut off or unusable at this screen size."
