We noticed that your app includes or accesses paid digital content, services, or functionality by means other than in-app purchase, which is not appropriate for the App Store. Specifically: Your app accesses digital content purchased outside the app, such as Videos, recorded content, documents but that content isn’t available to purchase using in-app purchase.
Apps that offer paid digital services and content across multiple platforms may allow customers to access the content they acquired outside the app as long as it is also available for purchase using in-app purchase. See Guideline 3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services for more information.
Our application was approved, but now, when we submit our 9th update, they reject the app for this specific reason.
we have the community app where we are charging the membership fees, but this is not for the content. Members are paying fees to events we are making, access to groups etc. In the app where we are publishing session recording for people who were not able to check in person.
to me, this is the same as for the Fitness app where people are paying for access to facilities and have access to free lessons or for any EDU apps. adding in-app purchases meaning that Apple wants us to charge an extra 30% for the yearly membership just because of the videos and that we are not even selling
Did anyone had similar experience?
