App Store Review and Watchkit

I've uploaded an app that got approved with an apple watch version. But in the latest version, I want to upload it without the apple watch version. Does anyone have any information on this?

V1 = iOS + Watchkit V2 = iOS only

Does anyone know if Apple would allow this? I've tried contacting them, no response yet.

Solution

  • iTunes Connect does not allow uploading an updated version of an app when the update runs on fewer devices than the version of the app currently in the App Store. This is by design.

    An update to an app must work for every customer who has already purchased the app, and is running a current version of iOS.

    Developers who wish to issue updates, but remove device support, have three choices:

    1. Fix their app so that it can work on the devices they originally set out to support.
    2. Target a newer version of iOS that requires a newer device.
    3. Remove their app from the store, and upload the new app with a different bundle ID.
