Hello,

I am having some troubles on showing localized price. Can i just show a "Subscribe" button to users? Is it infringing Apple guidelines?

Thanks in advance

You do not need to show the price. Apple will do that before the user makes a purchase. But if you have multiple IAPs on the store (e.g. 10 widgets, 100 widgets or a 1 month subscription or a 6 month subscription) you might want to. Here is code in Objective C:

Code Block  NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];            [numberFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
            [numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
            [numberFormatter setLocale:[[response.products objectAtIndex:0] priceLocale]];
            UIAlertController *alert =
              [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"IAP Products" message:@"The following packages are available for purchase.			DESCRIBE PACKAGES GENERICALLY			\nPlease select a package." preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
            for(int iCount=0;iCount<[response.products count];iCount++){
                [alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:[[[response.products objectAtIndex:iCount] localizedDescription] stringByAppendingFormat:@" %@",[numberFormatter stringFromNumber:[[response.products objectAtIndex:iCount] price]]] style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {
                    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self];
                    SKPayment *paymentRequest= [SKPayment paymentWithProduct:[response.products objectAtIndex:iCount]];
                    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:paymentRequest];
                }]];
            }
            [alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Check for recent purchase" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {
                [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self];
                [self performSelector:@selector(endIAP) withObject:nil afterDelay:5.0f]; 
												comment - endIAP uses status to issue an alert	- also in updatedTransactions add a cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget:
                self->status=@"no approved purchase";
            }]];
            [alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Not now, maybe later" style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:^(UIAlertAction * action) {
                self->status=@"not now";
                [self endIAP]; 
										comment -	endIAP uses status to issue an alert 
            }]];
            [self presentThisAlert:alert];	
												comment - presentThisAlert issues an alert
