Folks;Lately I've noticed a few apps in the Mac App Store that are 1) free to download with a notice that they have In App Purchases 2) accompanied by a simple 'Get' button.These Mac Apps are offering IAPs similar to: (neither are touted as subscriptions) - a '2 Week Trial' -- free - a 'Normal App' -- $XOK - So the 'Normal App' appears to be a run-of-the-mill non-consumable IAP.I cannot figure out how to construct a similar '2 Week Trial'.It seems as if the '2 Week Trial' is a non-renewing subscription but it is not possible to make non-renewing subscriptions free.In fact I can find only 2 ways to make a free IAP: 1) Non Consumable - A product that is purchased once and does not expire or decrease with use. 2) Auto-Renewable Subsciption - A product that allows users to purchase dynamic content for a set period. This type of subscription renews automatically unless cancelled by the user.I don't understand how either of these options could be used to create the free '2 Week Trial'..I also am under the impression that trials are not something that the Mac App Store permits.Can anyone shed some light on this for me?Steve
