Working with a client on an app and I'd like to get some clarification on the rules around IAP and consumables.
Their business model revolves around letting users purchase images, which unlocks the ability to download/share/whatever. However, there are literally millions of these images and that number could grow exponentially. It doesn't seem feasible for them to use non-consumable items here, since they'd essentially have to put someone on staff to manage it. Our thought was to use consumable IAP items and track the purchased state on our end. However, I'm not clear on if this is allowed by the IAP guidelines.
Does anyone have any insight here? Or alternatively, is there a good channel for me to get clarification directly from apple? I was going to file a TSI, but if there was a better place to get in touch with the app store people directly I'd rather do that.
