iOS Question App just for iPhone and only in Italian

Hi all. I finished and tested as release my App. Now it's time to publish to Apple Store.
I've read many posts with subject "App rejected by Apple", so here I am to ask for advice from experts.

My App is developed for iPhone only, not iPad, using #Target iPhone in the project attributes.
I found in the Apple guidelines a phrase similar to: "Any App written for iPhone must also run on iPad, eventually with the original screen resolution". What does it mean ?
If I exclude the iPad from my project attributes or if I don't arrange a variant for the iPad screen, then my App will be rejected by Apple ?

My second question is about the language. I plan to sell my App just in Italy, so any message, label and button has its text in Italian; also, the help page for this App, on my site, will be in Italian. Can this be a problem for publishing on Apple Store ? In Android I can choose what countries I want to include for App's distribution. It's the same for Apple ?

Last but not least: is there an example "checklist" of all the graphics (and others) files to be prepared prior to fight the bureaucracy for publishing ?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

No. It will just work in "phone" mode on the iPad.

It will not be a problem and yes you can choose to sell it in specific countries. When you publish your app there is a field for notes to the testers. You can use it to explain them how to test it.

You can use this tool, created by Ilan, to create the screenshots: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4i-screenshots-resizer.46911/#content
