Dear Apple Developers,
We want to develop an questionnaire app. But before we start developing we have some questions to make sure we don't put energy in an hopeless case.
- First: questionnaires will be distributed by e-mail. We want users to click a link that opens the app and questionnaire. But without link the app has no functionality. Will Apple approve this? Because we noticed some older rejections stating 'The user should be able log in without opening Safari first.'. Basically the user can only use the app if they open it through the link.
- Second: depending on the answers the user gives, the user will be forced register or login and provide detailed user information; like gender, age, weight, education... Users won't have an option to continue without registering or logging in. We are not sure what personal information will be asked, because the researchers can ask any question they want.
So the flow will be:
- User opens app and can't do anything.
- User gets mail with url / goes to website with url.
- Clicks url.
- The app opens with the depending questionnaire.
- User fills out the questions.
- For example at 75% the user will be forced to create an account to continue.
- The user registers.
- The user completes the next 25%.
- The data is sent to us.
- The user can close the app.
- The user opens the app again and can't do anything, because you only get questionnaires by clicking a url. So the app is useless without url.
Hopefully someone can help us out with these questions.
Yours sincerely,
