Hi! I'm currently developing an app to support artists. This should include a shop where artists can buy digital resources to use in their projects.
Now the issue is how I handle this. I know there are consumable and non-consumable IAPs and there is a limit of 10.000 IAPs per app. Because my shop will have more than 10.000 items eventually, I try to use a different approach:
For every price I want to have, I create a generic consumable IAP with the price I want. Then I assign this IAP to the product. To keep transactions safe, users need to sign-up before making a purchase.
When a user intends to purchase the item, I create a transaction with the item a user wants to purchase along with the user in my database and return a unique uuid. Then I attach this uuid with the transaction appAccountToken.
Then I listen to App Store Server Notifications and unlock the item for the user based on appAccountToken.
I already read about this extensively and other people seemed to be able to use it after explaining everything to Apple.
I tried to submit the first version of the app and it was rejected with reason:
Guideline 2.3.2 - Performance - Accurate Metadata
We noticed that the display names and descriptions for your promoted in-app purchase products are the same, which makes it hard for users to identify what they are purchasing from the App Store.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please revise the display names or descriptions for your promoted in-app purchase products to ensure each individual metadata item is unique.
Please note that display names for promoted in-app purchases can be up to 30 characters long, while descriptions can be up to 45 characters long.
If you have no future plans on promoting this in-app purchase product, you can delete the associated promotional image in App Store Connect.
All my consumable IAPs are named the same because it is generic and I don't really see how I would change this.
What kind of information do I need to supply to Apple to approve it? Any insights or tips are highly appreciated.
