You never know. It’s always possible there are MAS enhancements coming to help facilitate paid updates. Or maybe more permissible guidelines from Apple regarding subscriptions. But I won’t be holding my breath. There’s probably ugly workarounds you can do using in-app purchases, to transform a purchased app into a new version via an IAP, but that would be quite contrived and burdensome to implement. Developers are already using IAPs for similar purposes, like free limited-time demos, but that's also not exactly what I’d call a perfect solution for these kinds of needs. Well, I was hoping I had missed some nice automatic way to import a sandbox container from a prior version of my app, but I suppose there isn’t. I’ll probably just have to bother the user with an alert and folder selection dialog. ~Martin Wierschin > On Aug 13, 2018, at 1:08 PM, Richard Charles <rcharles...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> On Aug 13, 2018, at 10:17 AM, Martin Wierschin <mar...@nisus.com> wrote: >> >> The new version is to be a paid upgrade, which I know the MAS doesn't really >> support. > > It has been reported that Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Lightroom are coming > to the new Mac App Store.
