Good morning, how hard is it to incorporate Donations into an app? I know that Apple might have an issue with it. I am making an app that is all about donations... any ideas or suggestions before I get to deep into it? Thank You!

Hi. At work so shortish reply. I found a few articles around the web chatting about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10744252/ios-how-can-i-handle-donations http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/nonprofit-mobile-fundraising-ht Hope some of that helps. Happy Friday!

Apple will liky reject for donations. The only way to do it according to their standards is to have a prompt to open a web page in mobile safari, so that donations are not collected inside the app and there's no appearance of doing so. Stupid, I know. But that's the way it is. Apparently the reviewer in charge of Mobile Safari didn't abide by the rule!

Thanks for the input... I really appreciate it. So having a prompt that opens it up in mobile Safari, I know it sounds dumb but can you elaborate?

Sure - there's a couple ways to do this. One is to have a button on a screen that, when pressed, automatically loads Mobile Safari with the URL you need. Another is to have an alert/pop-up that asks the user if they want to exit the app and open Safari. For the pop-up, investigate the use of UIAlertView. Here's a tip: All plugins are setup to handle alert view's already. There's a simple line of code that will display the prompt: [self showAlert:@"a title" theMessage:@"some message" alertTag:0]; This will display a pop-up with a single button, "OK". To do some action when the OK button is clicked, just add this method in your code: -(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex { //perform some action here }
