Which part of "I would argue" has hinted you that there's a supporting documentation? If you rewind back to the AppStore debut time and remember at how things worked then (and tens of years before that), it'd be the most plausible conjecture.
- mikeash 14y agoThe part where you think you know Apple's intent, and the only possible way to know that is if they talked about it somewhere.
- huhtenberg 14y agoAh, right, right. And pedantic nitpicking is a great way to support conversation.
- mikeash 14y agoI'm trying to figure out why you think IAP was "meant for" this and not that. And you keep dodging it, even though you made a factual statement that you should be able to back up.

- mikeash 14y agoOK, but that seems completely overwhelmed by the simple fact that Apple explicitly supported consumable IAPs from day one.
- huhtenberg 14y agoCan you point to supporting documentation that indicates that?
- mikeash 14y agoOf course. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StoreKitGuide/APIOverview/OverviewoftheStoreKitAPI.html http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Networ...
- moogleii 14y agoDon't know about the "I would argue" part but this part, "IAP is not meant for selling bombs. IAP is meant for selling full version of an app from within a demo" looks like a claim.
