We have a client that is selling a book. With each book comes a serial code which gives them access to an online tool accompanying the book.
Right now is it a webapp but the client would like it to be a native app.
In order to distribute it as a free app, as I understand it, we need to implement a 'free mode' and implemetn an in-app purchase mechanism to unlock the full app. But..
User are required to create a free account where they can use the free portion of the app. If they bought the book, they can login on our website and add the serialcode from inside the book to their account. Now they can Use the full app fucntionality on our website AND in the app.
We are also planning to offer in app purchase to unlock the full application.
Is this compliant with the guidelines from Apple.. ? Netflix also allows users to pay outside of the app and still use the app.
Thanks for the help, all this is soo confusing..
