It's unfortunate, but I've talked to some other developpers who have had the same issues. Mainly developpers who are designing apps as 3rd parties get hit by this. I will certainly write and Call Apple though. Maybe enough people can give you some sort of free pass, though I doubt it.

Will we still be able to do in app purchases?

From a technology perspective, that's extremely hard and time-consuming. From a business perspective, that would mean spending hundreds of hours recoding the games, with no possible return-on-investment. Most of the games generate sales in the first three months of the game being released, and I've been building these games for 4 years. From a usability perspective, that means the main menus would be ridiculously complex, and the settings screens would be confusing and almost unusable. If you are unhappy with this decision, you can express your opinion to Apple. The accessibility desk is at accessibil...@apple.com or you can call 1-800-MY-APPLE. Thanks to everyone for enjoying my games.
