They don’t allow it. It’s a specific promise of the app store that you pay once and then you can load the app on all your compatible devices. On Mon, Sep 5, 2016 at 2:44 PM, Rick Mann wrote: > Does Apple allow a developer to limit the number of devices on which an > app can run? I have an app th

A consumable in-app purchase could be used for this. They are not restored to other devices. However if the user deleted the app and reinstalled it then the purchase would be lost unless you tracked it via some form of online account. On Monday, September 5, 2016, Rick Mann wrote: > Does Apple a

Have you even read the App Store guidelines yet? And Apple has a list of lists... try that. Finding you a list is still not a cocoa issue. Gary On Sep 5, 2016, at 2:17 PM, Rick Mann wrote: Fine, can you suggest a better list? On Sep 5, 2016, at 14:08 , M Pulis wrote: If it isn't listed

If it isn't listed in the app store guidelines, either go for it or ask Apple directly (perhaps a different mailing list) as this off- topic (not a cocoa issue but a distribution issue). Gary On Sep 5, 2016, at 1:35 PM, Rick Mann wrote: Yeah, I know one has to roll their own. I'm asking if i

My bet would be "no" as that would already be part of submitting an app to the store. You could prepare a business case to request this from Apple, but I'd suspect you'll need to roll your own code, and that won't be easy if not impossible without Apple's support. Perhaps Enterprise or B-

Does Apple allow a developer to limit the number of devices on which an app can run? I have an app that requires you to pay more to install it on more than one iPhone and two iPads. It should go without saying these are all on the same Apple ID. I thought Apple didn't allow this. But maybe they
