I read on a forum somewhere that it's necessary to detect the device your app is running on and enable/disable features accordingly (e.g. disable phone feature on iPod) for app approval. If an app is meant for the iPhone only, is it necessary to detect the device and notify the user?

If your application takes advantage of special features of a particular device then it is good UI to hide or disable those features when they are not available. How you do this will vary depending on exactly what you are trying to detect. For example, if you want to check for a camera, UIImagePickerController has methods that allow you to determine if one exists and what types of media it can handle.


If you could explain what you are trying to detect, I'm sure folks could point you where you need to look.
