Question

I used IOS 5.1, iPad 1, Xcode 4.6.1, storyboard(iphone), set ipad use the same storyboard as iphone in "target".

So please help me how to run the same iphone size app in the ipad.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I believe you need to change the app target from Universal to iPhone. (check sample image)

Go to: [Project Targets] > Summary > iOS Application Target > Devices > iPhone

This way the iPad will open your app as a legacy iPhone app.

(This worked for me in a simple example, but there may also be more work involved in ensuring you are building for iPhone only and not using any iPad-only UI elements.)
