Gifting an app unlimited amount ?

Hi I am currently in the process of getting an app ready to submit to app store.  I was going to put it on kickstarter to see if I can get some of it funded.  I wanted to give out free apps to donators on it.  Can I give an unlimted amount of apps out through the gift your app option ?  Or is there a cap ?  What is the process for giving out a large amount ?

From the consumer's (not the developer's) perspective, gifting works like this:
I specify I am going to gift an app to a specific individual (email address required).  The amount of the gift is immediately deducted from my Apple ID account.
So if I choose to gift, to, say, 392 people, and the app costs $1, then I would supply the 392 email addresses and the source of payment associated with my Apple ID would be debited $392.

  • I gifted an app from the apple App Store, but the recipient is not receiving the email. Any ideas why?

    Just to make sure I had actually gifted the app, I confirmed as you see here:

    I also resent the gift a couple times:

    But this comes up when I confirm the email to resend the gift too:

    Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have $22.01 credited to my account, but since gifting the app, the amount has not decreased by $4.99 which is how much the app cost. So I'm not really sure if it gifted or not, but it shows up in my gift history.

  • HT5510 Gifting an App using available credits on apple account?

    I have credit available on my existing apple account and wanted to gift an app to someone else.  Is it possible to have the amount of the gifted app deducted from my existing credit available, or will it be charged to my payment info on file?

    Sorry, but you cannot. A credit balance from an iTunes gift card or gift certificate cannot be used to purchase other gifts. You'll have to have a credit card on file in your account, and the cost of the gifts will be charged to that card.
    Regards.

  • HT201209 Gifting an app will not work with gift card?

    Ok. So I have plenty of money on my account.  But it will not let me gift an app with it? Why not.

    Because Apple doesn't allow it. They haven't said why.

  • HT2736 Is it not possible to 'gift' an app you've already bought?

    I own Monopoly for iPad and was trying to gift it to my dad for his new iPad but that link option doesn't show up in iTunes ... the GIFT link shows up fine on apps I haven't already bought for myself ...

    That is an interesting question...there appears to be no way to gift an app you've already purchased...maybe to avoid confusion about people thinking they can gift things they have purchased for free? There was a lengthy discussion about a similar issue on iOS devices here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4033741
    A workaround might be to log out of your Apple ID, then navigate to the app in iTunes, click the 'Gift This App' button and then sign in when prompted.

  • How can i gift an app in the mac app store ?

    hi,, I see that i can gift an app in the ios store, but cannot do the same in the mac app store ? ... is this feature not available yet ?. if not, when will it be available ?

    You can use iTunes gift cards in the App Store. I don't think Apple supports "gifting" of apps as yet and we wouldn't know when they may do this in the future. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.

  • How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

    I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
    Cheers,

    Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.

  • How can I "gift" an app to multiple people via email?

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to be able to send our nonprofit members our new iTunes app. I saw a "gift this app" button, but now I can't find it again. Is there a way to pre-purchase an app and email it to people? Thanks, in advance, for any recommendations!

    Next to the big button labeled with the price and the word "buy", there is a pop-up list. The first option is Gift This App.

  • Is there a way to gift an app with the billing method as store credit

    I want to gift 4 apps to my friend but i dont have a credit/debit card becuase im a kid. Is there a way to gift the apps when the billing method is store credit like a itunes giftcard?

    No.
    You CANNOT gift using your balance AT ALL.
    No matter how you ask;  you cannot gift with your balance.
    You can use your balance for your own purchases only.

  • Can anyone explain the process of gifting an app?

    Can anyone explain what happens when you gift an app?  I tried to gift "Where's My Water" to my son.  How does he retrieve the gift? He tried to go to the App Store and download it (I thought it might already be marked "Purchased") but it wasn't.  Does he get an e-mail with a retrieval code?  His e-mail is set up to only get mail from certain people.  What address would we need to add to his address book so the e-mail will go through?  How do I get the confirmation resent to him?
    Thanks!
    Lynne

    I used the "gift this app" button, but what happens after that?  Does the person I sent the gift to get an e-mail or some kind of notification?  My son's e-mail only lets through mail from certain people (and they don't tell you to make sure the person can get mail from [email protected] so they can get a verification).  Do you know what address the verification comes from?

    Assuming that the incorrect recipient hasn't already redeemed the gift, you can resend it to the correct address via these instructions:

  • Gift this App is Missing

    Running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac, the option to "Gift This App" is missing for apps that I've purchased.  It appears properly for apps that I haven't purchased.
    Has anyone else run into this bug?  Is there a workaround?  How can I gift an app to someone?

    I also had the problem of the "Gift this app" link missing.  This is on a PC.  I was able to gift apps using an iPad logged in to the same iTunes account but the performance was terrible.  I have been administering iPads for a company for a couple of years now.  I have set up over two dozen over that time and this is the worst it has been as far as getting apps onto the device goes.
