Auto-Renewable subscription activation

Jul 25, 2012 5:34 AM

Tags: #apple #subscriptions

Hi, 

I need to create a new app for iPad with a free download of the first issue of the magazine.

When I will upload the second number (1 month later) I need to introduce the Auto-Renewable Subscriptions.

Is it possible to do that without a new build and submission to Apple?

Can I create an app with Auto-Renewable Subscription = no, publish to Apple and activate the subscription later?

Does the "subscription" button disappear form the app when there are no active Auto-Renewable Subscription?

 

Thanks,

Marco

    You can control how the viewer will present the subscription. If you create a subscription viewer with a valid subscription productID and nothing exists to subscribe to, the subscription tile will not appear in the viewer.  Once you publish valid retail content a month later, the subscription tile will appear, and your customers will be able to subscribe.

    I think it's not working.

    I have removed all the folios and now I have an empty library but the subscription button appear in the viewer with the auto-renew subscription I have created  in iTunes Connect.

    What's wrong?
