In App Purchase question

[Storeboughtmilk]

I just had an app denied by apple for an issue with its in app purchase.

Apple mentioned that although the user could purchase a subscription in the app, the subscription content needs to be available to the user on all of their iOS devices.

So, does anyone know how I would make the subscription available to all the users devices?

Any help would be great.

For that I think you need a user database on your server, and a login system. Every time the user logs in from a device, the app would send the server list of items it has downloaded/installed, the server will cross check this against items they have purchased, and if there are items that are not downloaded to that device yet, it would tell them about it and give an option to get the content. That's my guess, I haven't implemented subscription based IAP yet. See the IAP Guide in the docs as well, it probably has some pointers on that.

oh crap. that sounds incredibly complex. I wonder if there is way to do it for free. I don't have a server. maybe a website or facebook or something.

Im gonna take a look at the documents now. Maybe they have suggestions in there.

What does your subscription IAP do?

[Storeboughtmilk]

It unlocks the users ability to sync the apps content with dropbox. Subscription option are for 1 month or 1 year.

I read the IAP docs and it looks like your right about the server. bummer

Thats weird because my IAP is not "available to all the users devices"

[Storeboughtmilk]

what kind of IAP is it?

Just realised my response could be viewed as contravening the policy of disallowing iOS 5 discussions.
