When I started on my current project, there was already an App in the App Store. This App was iPhone only.

My first task was to test and build a version that also ran on an iPod Touch.

About 3 weeks ago Apple removed the option on iTunes connect to set the device requirements. And sent an email out to all developers:

"The App Store requires that you provide metadata about your application before submitting it. While most of this metadata is specified using the iPhone Developer Program Portal, the process for selecting device-related dependencies in iTunes Connect is no longer available. Instead, if your app relies on features that are specific to a device, such as the compass on iPhone 3GS, add the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key to your app's Info.plist file to indicate the specific hardware feature required."

When I compiled the iPod compatible version I set the device requirements (UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities) in the info.plist to:

1. location-services (gps or skyhook)
2. wi-fi (any device)

However, as the App was originally uploaded and the option for "iPhone only" set in iTunes connect this appears to be the default.

The kicker is, because Apple have removed this feature there is no way to change it!

Has anyone come up against this problem? And how did you solve it? Is it possible I have incorrect values in UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities?

UPDATE: The app will run fine on a iPod Touch if installed as a development version via Xcode. The problem is on the App Store it is listed as iPhone only and when iPod Touch users search in the App store no results are returned.
