Universal Purchase Question

Hi,

Will a tvOS and iOS app tied/connected by "Universal Purchase" need to be submitted to the App Store together? Or will we be ablt to submit them seperately (since they are seperate builds) and "enable" them in iTunes Connect as a Universal Purchase?


This information would be very helpful as I plan out my tvOS apps.


Thanks!

No, the apps do not need to be submitted at the same time. The apps for each platform can remain totally distinct - have different versions, be updated at different times, etc. (For example, you could link an app that's already in the iOS App Store to a new tvOS app when its App Store goes live)

Good to know! Thank you very much!


Oh, one more question: Will In-App Purchases be treated this way as well?

Based on Tidbits answer in the following thread, sounds like a "yes" to me.
