I'm trying to work through the best way to charge for my app.
One mechanism that is appealing is charging $2 per month (or whatever) through the app store's subscription model. However, for data privacy reasons I don't want to know who my customers are.
The last thing I want is some big story in the news about how I, or my provider, was hacked and now all my customers' data is out there.
I'd rather not have it in the first place.
I also want to be able to say "I have no idea who you are" and have it be true and I want Apple to handle all the payments.
However, I also don't want my users to keep using the app without paying. I don't have a central license server that I can cut them off from and I don't really want to build one.
If a customer is subscribing to my app, can Apple automatically uninstall it from their iPhone if they go over 2 months without paying? Or is there an SDK I can use to disable access to the app via Apple, if the customer hasn't paid for their subscription?
Thanks.
