Any issue with releasing a free and paid version of the same app?

I have an existing free app (with ads) but am wondering if I can release a paid version of the app as a sort of “Pro” version without ads? Is this frowned upon? In-App purchases exist but I am unaware of how to currently accomplish this feat. Does this line of thinking still exist in the iOS store?

If the only thing different between those two apps is ads, you're talking about one version where the user has the option to pay to remove ads, I believe, not two different apps,


I'd expect pushback during review if you tried two, otherwise same, apps in that example.
