1. Can I offer a free 30 day trial for our (coupon) app using a 16 digit code that comes with our coupon books which are sold thru fundraising groups, like schools, etc.2. If yes to question 1., then can I also offer those users, who used the code after the 30 day trail ends, a subscription that expires on a certain day (12/31/20) for one time payment of x amount. The app is active now for free but it can't be activated without a 16 digit code found in our coupon book. I'm trying to get an update approved that will have the in-app purchase functionality. The app update has an auto - renewal option for .99 a month for anyone without a code but with the code they get the free 30 day trial then the one time payment option of $4.99. When we sent the app for review, it was rejected (see below). Upon further review, we noticed the following issue:Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App PurchaseYour app unlocks or enables additional functionality with mechanisms such as promo codes, data transfer codes, license keys, augmented reality markers, or QR codes, which is not appropriate for the App Store.Next StepsTo resolve this issue, please remove this feature from your app.BUT, they sent a few screenshots of our app, one of which was not updated and I think it may be the one they're referring to. It read: Enter the 16 digit code found on the front cover of your coupon book to activate the coupon offers. Don't have a coupon book? No worries! Contact us at ***-***-xxxx or (website link) to find a fundraising group selling the coupon books near you or order online at (website)This was from when the app was free with the code. Now it's only free for 30 days, so we need to re-word it If I re-word it to instead say: Enter the 16 digit code on your coupon book to activate your free 30 day trial. And just leave it at that. Would that work?
