the big exploit seems to be scamming for money after the app is installed.
originally I was going with the idea that an app cannot charge monthly, or by feature, more money than what it originally cost to purchase the app from the store. however this would exclude a lot of reasonable apps.
so instead clicking on any application will immediately display all possible charges that could be incurred when installing and using the application. so if a developer has one of those $299 activation clauses it is clearly listed on the app store. if an app will not reveal all post install charges it should be delisted.
of course people could bypass apple payment systems and there are many who want to bypass apple entirely but that wild wild west scenario may send people back screaming
- riversflow 6y ago>instead clicking on any application will immediately display all possible charges that could be incurred when installing and using the application I mean the App Store already puts whether an app has in-app purchases literally right next the the download button, and the app’s listing has a complete set of possible purchases. So basically already there. I don’t think you can bypass Apple’s payment system, that’s a big no-no. They want their cut!
