iPad version of iOS App

Is it possible to release a separate iPhone and iPad app with the same bundle identifier so that both apps are related to one another. Or is the only way to this is to make sure that the app is a universal app. The reason I want two separate builds is that I want vastly different UI and capabilities for the iPad.

I realize that I could detect which device the user is on using UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiomhowever since I want such drastic differences I think it would be easier to manage with just two separate applications.

Any help is appreciated

Every app in the store is required to have an Unique bundle ID.You can make with little change

com.companyName.appName.iphone  
com.companyName.appName.ipad

As noir says give name as "appName" and "appName for iPad" - it looks professional.

Two apps can't have the same bundle id, so you would have to use a different one if you still want to release separatedly. However, if you use storyboards for example, you can configure your project to use one for iPhone/iPod and another for iPad.
