As the title says the search will not work if your searching for an iPad specific app. However it will work if the app your searching for is iphone or iphone/ipad(universal).

Should also note that if it cant find the app it breaks down to an unexpected nil error which due to my poor ruby ability(at the moment) is uncapturable via an exception of some sort.

Yah, I wrote this module back before the iPad was around.

I don't have any use for this code anymore myself, so I am unlikely to update it to handle iPad app searches. However, I'll gladly merge pull requests :)

will do.. by the way how did you work out the iphone X-Apple-Store-Front code? I'm sure that its the key to getting the xml feed for the ipad but I have not idea how to identify it.

I sniffed the traffic from my iPhone to determine what requests it was making when launching the App Store. I'm sure you can do similar with the iPad.

I blogged about it back in the day. Ahh, here it is.
