Okay, then what happens to the app when your subscription renewal fails when your CC expires?
- etchalon 6y agoAnd what happens if you drop your phone, and it's being repaired so you haven't used the app for the full trial? And what if say, a Sasquatch, steals your phone, and your wallet, and he's using the app and delighted by it, by you've never used that app but you're still going to be charged? What happens if the universe ends? Apple must account for this scenarios!
- ryguytilidie 6y agoThe things you're describing are rare. A credit card expiring is not rare at all. What were you hoping to prove here?
- coldtea 6y agoThat keeping your credit card updated is your responsibility, not related with the merits of auto-renewing subscriptions or not.

- vulcan01 6y agoI believe that there is a grace period for billing: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/12/apple-app-store-subscription-grace-period-billing/ https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/12/apple-app-store-subscri...
- hombre_fatal 6y agoNobody has answered the question yet. Since you can't be guaranteed to be able to bill someone forever, an expired CC being an obvious example, how does an app not break the rule of "Because Apple forbids an app to be disabled or not function". I mean, the app surely doesn't uninstall itself or give you free access forever.
- philliphaydon 6y agoIf there’s no valid subscription it would all you to subscribe...
- hombre_fatal 6y agoSo you get stuck in a "please resubscribe" modal when you launch the app? The rule must be "Apple forbids an app to be disabled or not function without displaying Apple's subscription chrome" which makes sense then.
- m3kw9 6y agoThis is an edge case, so Apple may just pop up an error and actually allow that as that is not the developers fault
- donarb 6y agoWhen you submit your app, you can specify a grace period that allows the app to work while the payment gets sorted out. For apps that bill at least monthly, the grace period is 16 days.
