What does the app sell? Setting up the in-app-purchase code is very very time consuming and only for folks with lots of experience or lots of programming skill or both. Can you simply remove the for-sale items and still have a useful app that will be approved? I say this because you could always re-add the paypal screen after the app is in the App Store. The contorl panel allows you to make these types of changes after it's been compiled. Comments In App Purchases and all the Apple Requirements are tough. What does the app sell?

Just had 14 apps rejected because they are too similar -- even though each app is very specific for the particular NCAA school/team and the apps are clearly customized for the particular fan base -- and I've already got 7 others approved in the app store. Apple is suggesting I make one container app and offer all of these versions as in-app purchases. I'm appealing because I think their idea will seriously be detrimental to the app overall. Nevertheless, I've been looking into in-app purchases, and it does look complicated and challenging. Comments I ran into a similar problem.

raghavsachar Aspiring developer Posts: 3 Reg: Jun 15, 2011 Mumbai 30	07/21/11 10:22 PM (14 years ago) Have decided to remove the paypal links from my site and resubmit the app... hope it passes.. once it does will share the link. in app purchases would get extremely difficult to do... only if there was an easier way that buzztouch cold probably invent for later upgrades to incorporate it .. would save a lot of people a lot of headache... Cheers guys!
