Introductory pricing prior iOS 11.2

Hello,

Is Introductory pricing available for users prior iOS 11.2? Can I hardcode info from SKProductDiscount for them and be sure that user will get free trial?

You can give anyone a free trial simply by noting either:

1) an entry in their iCloud key-value file

2) and entry in the keychain

3) an entry in CloudKit or on your server

4) inspect their app receipt.


In all those cases, you discover the date the app was bought or installed or run by that user. Then you give them whatever you want to give them for as long as you want to give it to them.


You can also have a free trial period for autorenewable subscritpions as part of the users actual purchase of the IAP.

Dima-zaz,


did you get this working by hardcoding SKProductDiscount into your app for pre-11.2 users?
