iphone/ipad app not appearing in iPad app store

We're developing our first iPhone and iPad app with xcode 4.5.2. It is a universal app, with targeted device family = iPhone/iPad. Runs fine on simulators for iPhone and iPad but when distributed to Apple it only shows up in the app store on the iPhone. On the iPad app store . . . nothing.

When you search for it online you can get the iTunes page in the browser (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/episurveyor/id499388914?mt=8) but note that "Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5." No listing of iPad. If you do that search on iPad you can find the same page in Safari but it then launches the app store and says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. Store."

What setting are we missing? I know this must be something very simple.

Problem solved! Apple told me it was because we had specified SMS as a required capability -- but the iPad doesn't have any SMS capability, so it assumed it could not run on the iPad. Removed the SMS requirement and have resubmitted.
