Hi, We are working on a Xamarin project that needs to get the date of purchase of a Paid App that was posted in Appstore. I can see in iOS the receipt data is extracted from the bundle. If i deletes the app, and then reinstalls it, is the receipt still in the bundle ? If not how to get the receipt?

Hello, So, I have an app: the majority of downloads are coming from AppStore search. Soon I am planning a big update, and I was thinking about changing my app to a paid version. I am afraid of what will happen with my keywords rankings. Will they reset after I change my app type? How about future competition: do I have to have the same or more downloads compared with my "free" rivals or do downloads of paid app weigh more than free ones? In general, I am trying to figure out how ASO works with paid applications compared with free ones, but couldn't find any articles about that. Thanks in advance

Hello, let's say that at a certain point I have two published apps on the App Store. One is the main iOS application, that is a paid app, and the other is a limited version of the main one, like a "lite" version. Let's say that they are both published because the lite version was accepted by the reviewers (indeed it is what should happen). The lite version is a complimentary app that can be used for just using the main functions when some third party provided you the content. But some users could be interested in having the complete version to be able to author or edit the content themselves. I would like to know if it is acceptable that in the "lite" app -there is a button clearly pointing to the App Store page of the main app -a menu entry -a hyper-link in the guide. -other options Thanks

I would like to know if a function is available in Swift or Objective-C for an iOS 14+ application to retrieve the very first installation date of the app from the App Store on any device. It would be useful for me to grant full access to the app features in the case I introduce the freemium model for my app. I asked aboout this change here Free app introducing in-app purchase for some features I want to grant the full functionality to users that installed the free version as I pointed out in a further comment, but no one answered. I do not know if this is possible without App Store server interrogation, I mean with just an information that is on the device registry because the app is installed, and refers to the first installation ever, not on this device alone, and not being lost with factory reset procedure or similar. Alternately another useful information would be the most ancient app version or build number that the user got from the App Store ever. Some suggest to deploy an intermediate version that stores the app version or build number in some persistent user data location. Thanks

Here is my ObservableObject Class I want to get a category based on which I will initialize the source with a trimmed list: //UsersViewModel.swift class UsersViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var users: [User] @Published var category: String init(category: String) { self.category = category self.users = UserData().getUsers(byCategory: category) } } This is my View //UserListByCategory.swift import SwiftUI struct UserListByCategory: View { @EnvironmentObject var ud: UsersViewModel var body: some View { Text("Hello") } } struct UserListByCategory_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { UserListByCategory() .environmentObject(UsersViewModel(category: "Office")) } } I'm hardcoding the "Office" here, but is there a way to pass this to the Class?

How does publishing a free app work when it is tied to a paid website? We have built a web application that our users subscribe to for property management. We have built an app that helps our users when they are away from their PC. Right now the app is on test flight. What needs to happen in order to get it on the live Apple store? What fees will Apple want besides the $99?

Hello I'm trying to implement the storekit api https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/subscriptions/{originalTransactionId} there for the JWT token is there any way we can retrieve the JWS directly in the decoded format without having to use an external library to get the token or decode it back?

In Xcode how do you add multiple App Icons to test with Product Page Optimization? The video mentions to add it to your binary but with no clear instructions on the right way to go about it. In general inside your Assets folder in Xcode you already have AppIcon which you add your apps icon there. Do we go ahead and create another AppIcon like the image below? If so what do we name it? Thank you

We have a web app involving trading virtual token. Users create account and are given a virtual wallet. They feed wallet with real money via credit card or bank transfer. Then, they buy our virtual token with their wallet credit and we collect fees at each purchase. We use banking API for money transfer and management. We also plan to put our token on blockchain(s) and trade via cryptocurrencies. 2 questions : if we develop an iOS app and distribute it on AppStore, will Apple accept such features and not reject this business ? will Apple’s commission of 30% apply on purchases or transfers ?
