conceptual - Concept: Trial & Full version in IOS today. (separate Apps, inapp purchases, Applestore rejection) -


concept on howto maintain trial , purchasable full version of ios-app today:

there lots of dicussions on topic, @ case , how designed today (2015), actual apple restrictions.

  • i have app loads data internet displayed. (trial-content -> 80mb, 20%, full-content -> 400mb, 100%)
  • i offer users try app limited content first.
  • with limited content: 20% works fullversion. 80% marked question mark. if users clicks on question mark guide user fullversion.
  • i prefere have 2 apps (2 builts), because of having 2 separate rankings. users, buy app rating better, because interrested in app , buy, when pleased trial app. app inapp purchase has lower ranking in avarage isolated full version (built). guess concept rejected apple, because have mention fullversion in trialversion , have name trial version "trial" ? (sorry bad english)

how designed ios apps ? howto guide user fullversion, without beeing rejected apple ? (i read popups "would purchase fullversion?" rejected. )

in android did following:

  • i created 1 app full functionality, @ same time trial-version.
  • i created 1 purchasable app, unlocker app.
  • the trialversion app checks if unlocker installed. way can differentiate between trial , full , load corresponding content.
  • when clicking on question mark, show popup saying "would purchase full version?".

this quite common pattern, can't call "trial" version "trial". quite such versions called "light".

to send user app store buy full version can use skstoreproductviewcontroller display app store page full version directly in app. should ok apple.

your android solution paid "unlocker" app possible too. apps need expose url scheme , using can check if other app available. use app group communicate. not pass review apps must useful themselves. test unlocker on device doesn't have other app installed , reject it.

i suggest reconsider iap this. that's ideal use case it. must not afraid of bad reviews offering purchases. trying send user buy app give many bad reviews if not more. iap flow more user-friendly.
