Can't you put in a form in your app, stating "Could you please give us your email so we can contact you when we have a new product?"
Of course, I will never touch that form, and most people won't, but that's not because Apple prevent us.
- pimterry 5y agoHard to say how their IAP setup will work, but this isn't far from how Paddle works for online checkouts today. They separately track your customers and your 'audience' - the people who tick the 'send me marketing' box during checkout (https://paddle.com/support/what-is-paddle-audience/ https://paddle.com/support/what-is-paddle-audience/). Customer emails are available, but it's explicit that they haven't opted-in for marketing, so if you're subject to GDPR or anything similar (most Paddle vendors, since I think the EU is Paddle's core market) then you can't use the email for anything but necessary account setup & support. Meanwhile audience emails are explicitly fair game for upsells/offers/etc.
- onphonenow 5y agoThis is what gdpr gets wrong. Tons of popups and notifications you shouldn't use email or cookies for x - but sellers collect them and WILL abuse them - apple u avoid this issue by simply not giving the seller your info
- cma 5y agoThe App Store's abusive rules will not not even let you use a collected email opted in to promotions to notify of better pricing: "Developers cannot use information obtained within the app to target individual users outside of the app to use purchasing methods other than in-app purchase (such as sending an individual user an email about other purchasing methods after that individual signs up for an account within the app)." You have to flag that user's email in your database as permanently tainted and unable to learn certain truths even if they have long switched to another competitors' device.
