Hide tvOS app from new users while keeping iOS app discoverable with Universal Purchase
Hi all, I’m trying to understand what’s possible with App Store Connect when using Universal Purchase across iOS and tvOS. We currently have an app that’s set up as a universal purchase for iOS and tvOS. What we’d like to do is: Keep the iOS app fully discoverable and available to new users in the App Store. Make the tvOS app not appear for new users (e.g., not show up in search / categories / product page for users who don’t already own it). Is there a supported way to effectively “hide” or remove the tvOS app from sale for new customers only, while keeping the iOS app live and discoverable, and while existing tvOS users are unaffected? If this isn’t possible at a platform level, are there any recommended best practices for deprecating the tvOS version of a universal purchase app without impacting the iOS listing or existing tvOS users? Thanks in advance for any guidance or pointers to official docs!

Switching to Calendar Versioning: Does App Store Connect Support Underscores?
We plan to switch from Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org/) to Calendar Versioning (https://calver.org/). Our intended format for CalVer is: YYYY.MM.DD_MICRO, such as 2025.1.5_3. Question: Does App Store Connect allow underscores in version numbers? The "Micro" component is included to handle cases where multiple releases occur on the same day.
