It would appear to me this is the perfect solution for Hey then. Put a purchase option in the app with a clear statement you can get 30% off the subscription price just by going to the website. It could even look like a great offer to prospective customers: 'hey I just needed to go to the website to get a 30% discount!'.
Any reason why they wouldn't just do this instead of trying to fight Apple on their (in this case IMO pretty egregious) rules?
- Jasper_ 6y agoNot allowed by Apple. Part of Rule 3.1.1: > Apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Yes, telling customers they can simply get a discount online is prohibited. Yes, they have rejected apps for this before.

From section 3.1.3(b) of the guidelines: "You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase."
