I am SO paranoid about the IAP in this app. In case you don’t know, IAP stands for “in app purchases”, whether it be one-time purchases or subscriptions. IAP is hard to get right on iOS, and I’ve been paranoid that I’ll release iBorrow and the IAP stuff won’t work and people will be upset that they’ve made a purchase and don’t see the Premium features. Or that people will get Premium features without paying. Or that the moon will fall from the sky and land the user when they touch the “Subscriptions” button.
So for my own sanity, I think I’ll release a version with the IAP and Premium features first. The premium features were no big deal anyway, and I think I might need to add more to make it worth the while. Maybe. Still undecided on that, because I can just let the user decide for him- or herself if it’s worth it. Either way, the cool thing is, if I decide to delay IAP and release the app without it, I don’t need to make that decision today.
So I’ve released a new build of my app that doesn’t have the IAP to TestFlight, and friends and family are checking it out. If all goes well, I’ll be releasing it to the app store soon. Which, well, kinda brings up other issues. See my next post.
