Hello!
This is my first post!
I am launching my app soon. It is going through the App Review process but it seems that is has been rejected twice.
To give you a little bit of a background, my apps talks to a website that stores 3D models.
You can view the models on your phone. That's all it does.
Users can store 2 models, but they have to pay to store more. They don't pay for the 3D Models.
The app is pretty much a viewer nothing more.
Users can only subscribe using the website.
The App Store review came back telling me that I need to implement in-app purchases.
I was also told that:
- You can revise your app to provide users a free stand-alone experience that serves as a companion to your paid web based service.
Which I did. The app now comes with a sample 3D model.
This will require me to do a lot more developing as the app knows nothing about the users, there is no login, the app is just a light-weight viewer.
There is a clause in the Terms:
3.1.3(f) Free Stand-alone Apps: Free apps acting as a stand-alone companion to a paid web based tool (eg. VOIP, Cloud Storage, Email Services, Web Hosting) do not need to use in-app purchase, provided there is no purchasing inside the app, or calls to action for purchase outside of the app.
This describes my case if I got it right.
So is this a matter of just getting the reviewers to understand my app or am I doing something wrong ?
Any help will be very appreciated !
Thanks!
