Hi Everyone,
Before I resubmit my app, I think I need some help to see where I have gone wrong. Here are some details about the app I'm submitting:
- Multi-issue App with retail issues and a paid subscription option
- Will have one free "preview" issue
At this stage, I have made the app but have not made any retail content available yet. I submitted the app with the free issue + an auto-renewable subscription set up, but no retail content. These are the steps I have taken:
- Set up an auto-renewable subscription in itunes connect, and have entered this in the subscription section of the viewer builder.
- In itunes connect, in the 'Newsstand' section, I have added a new issue, which is our free preview issue. I have inserted the product code that I linked to this issue in the folio organiser.
My questions:
- To have one free preview issue, do I have to set up a free subscription? The only reason we have a free preview issue was that I read that you need to have free content in newsstand.
- Do I have to copy and paste the "shared secret" anywhere (I have not done this as yet as I couldn't figure out where to paste it into)?
- Apple's rejection message to me was "It is possible to download the magazine for free". The thing is, it's meant to be free! It's a free preview issue. Why then, when it is obviously a free preview issue (I've written this in all of the product ID's, headings, titles, descriptions)...has apple rejected my app because of this? Based on the steps I have listed above, what have I done wrong?
I really appreciate your help.
