upgrading separate iPhone and iPad apps to a single universal binary

I have two separate iPhone and iPad apps that I have now turned into a universal binary. I think I've done the hard part, but now I'm kinda stumped on how to submit that universal binary through iTunes connect in a way that users of the existing apps are prompted to upgrade.

iPhone In-App SMS MFMessageComposeViewController Auto-Send

I am using Apple's documented methods for In-App SMS today (MFMessageComposeViewController Class Reference) This shows a Compose Message dialog box with the recipients and the body (optionally) pre-filled.

Is there any advantage to using a wildcard provisioning profile?

I remember before reading that if you used a wildcard provisioning id (eg net.nevan.*), you could have easier sharing of information between your apps. Now, many things require a provisioning id for each app to be unique (iAds, notifications, in-app purchase). Actually, looking at my apps on the app store, they are all using unique ids. ...

Setting multiple icon files

I'm in the final stretch of submitting an application for distribution in the iTunes store, but I'm getting hung up on the icon files! If I have only a 57x57 file, I get a warning in XCode and an error in Application Loader that I haven't provided a 72x72.

Build and Archive - nothing happens on Submit Application

After successfully building the distribution version of my app for submission to iTunes Connect, I selected Build and Archive, as recommended, and the Organizer window popped up. Why, wondered I.

Automatically download sales reports from iTunes Connect

I had a nice and hacky Perl script to automatically scrape and download sales report files from iTunes Connect. As of today, Apple overhauled the sales report site. It looks a lot nicer, but it uses a lot of JavaScript and simple scraping isn't going to work any more. So, does anybody know of a way to scrape this new site effectively?...

Providing back doors for Apple app submission testing

I am getting ready to submit an educational app to Apple for review. The app is somewhat like a series of flash cards, and working through the entire app would require thousands of "flips".
