How many versions of the same app will Apple approve?

They have currently approved the free version but we are looking to limit features and make 2 paid versions as well.(ie. Lite, Gold Edition, Premium Edition)  It is a social organization app.

See App Store Review Guidelines for iOS Apps / 2.11
I think you'd have more luck with just one app that uses IAP to add more features.

  • I work in schools and would like to know what if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can the same app be loaded onto legally?

    I work in schools and would like to know if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can that app be loaded onto legally?

    One iPad per purchase, assuming the iPads will be used by different users. If the school wants to purchase an app for multiple iPads, they have to have one license for each iPad. In the US, there's an academic volume purchase plan:

  • Best approach for publishing a paid version and an ad supported free version of the same app

    Hi,
    One of my Windows 8 store app is almost ready for store submission.
    What is the best approach for publishing a paid version and  an ad supported  free version of the same app.
    Can I do the following
    1. Submit the app with unlimited free trial to store
    2. During the free trial ads will be displayed
    3. If the user purchases the app, then the ad would not displayed
    Any advise is greatly
    appreciated.
    Best Regards

    Although the in-App purchase option is good but for ad based apps my approach is different.
    I would suggest putting 2 different apps in the store, one free with Ads and one without. Reason being you want the extra reference and xaml ad controls depending upon how
    many you have on the paid version of the apps. I would keep my apps as lighter and cleaner as possible specially when its a paid app.
    I currently manage both free and paid app through one solution and reuse most of the code except for the views.

  • Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

    Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
    Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
    Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
    If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
    (spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
    The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
    Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
    Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
    It's simple, iTunes should either:
    Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
    Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
    Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
    OR
    Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1

  • How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

    how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
    It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
    I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
    What's the work around?
    Thank you

    I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • Different versions of the same app on the app store

    Is it possible to let users download the different versions of the same app from the App store,( even though I have not seen it but just wonder whether it is possible) ?
    If not then can we have different releases of the same product with different feature set.
    This question is applicable for iPhone as well.
    Thanks

    Wouldn't do you any good, as you need to be a registered developer to use the forum. Just contact one of the developer's of an app you're interested in and ask the developer directly.

  • How to down load the same app twice to home page

    How do I download the same app twice so I have both on my home screen.  I want to monitor cameras at 2 different locations and need to have 2 apps to load seperate info into each.  When I try to down load the app for the 2nd time the only option is to REPLACE the current app with the same one. Anyone have any ideas?

    Yeah, too bad the app won't let you switch between locations.  I don't think you can have 2 instances of the app running on the BB.  I'm not developer, but I've never seen that before.

  • How to delete the many versions of the same song?

    Help please, how do I delete old versions of a song? When I add to or tweak a piece, I first save it with a new name, like song 1, then song 2, etc. so that I have a copy of every change. This takes up space when I have 50 versions each of 10 songs. Now my hard drive is down to 7.4 and I was told to keep it in the double digits. I went to Logic,
    chose the song from the next column, then in the next column filled with versions of the same song, I selected one, like old version 1, hit delete and nothing happened. I held down the apple key too and hit delete. Nothing. HELP please. I have not used this before but my 1-1 has ended since Apple won't allow renewals anymore. Also. I have all versions saved on 2 external hard drives.

    Hi,
    now first you'll need the right permissions for the folder where your songs are stored. I assume that you have the read/write permissions (or supervisor permissions).
    Let's assume your songs are named "songxversiony.logic". They will reside in a main folder named "songx" containing all the "songxversiony.logic" files, and there will be subfolders called "audio files" "bounces" "Fade files" "Project File Backups" "Sampler Instruments" (maybe) and "Undo Data" and maybe one or two others.
    1st: Usually, Logic stores your songs in /(your username)/music/Logic/... , so please open your finder and look if they are there.
    2nd: You can delete all unneeded "songxversiony.logic" files from the finder. This should be possible by hitting the delete button. Otherwise check your permissions.
    3rd: Now getting rid of the Song file (xy.logic) won't delete the really big Disk-Hogs, which are the Audio Files you used in earlier versions (but don't need them anymore). They still reside in the "Audio Files" subfolder.
    4th: Fire up Logic, load your Project. Tap the "B" key to open the Bin and there you'll have all the audio files that ever were used in your project. Now many of them aren't needed anymore. So *within the bin* hit Shift-U to select all unused Audio files (or in the menu: edit -> select all unused). Hit DEL to remove them from the bin.
    5th: Now these hogs are *still there* (what the...? ) To finally get rid of them, go to Logic's Menu bar: File -> Project -> clean up. You will be asked if you really want to delete the unused files, and yes, off they go to the trash.
    You may also look inside the bounces folder if there are old bounces you don't need anymore.
    Problem solved.

  • Versioned deployments: how to deploy different version of the same app ?

    I 'd like to deploy on a server (single instance) different versions of the same web application, say:
    webapp1.war
    webapp2.war
    webapp3.war
    The wars have the same ContextRoot.
    It is possible to version them with an attribute in MANIFEST.MF, but is it possible to have the N applications ACTIVE and running ? I'd like that one IP will be served from webapp1, another IP from webapp2, another IP from webapp3, etc.

    It may your 'requirement' but I have serious doubts that the app review team will approve it. Save yourself the waste of time and follow my original suggestion of one app. That's the only correct 'method' (w/IAP of course) that will have a chance of success.
    See the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and the App Review Guidelines before you go any further. In the case where you need 'official' guidance, consider using support event w/DTS

  • Is there any way to know how many copies of the same game I bought with GCU?

    I've bought Dying Light for ps4 probably twice or three times now.. Do return and rebuys count towards your limit of 3 copies of the same game bought with GCU? Or trade up offers? Or on a minimum of $5 deposit? Or does it have to be fully paid off to count?
    After purchasing the game today and having the employee adjust the price of the game for me since this physical weekly ad showed that Dying Light for GCU members is $31.99, I see on my receipt that there is no unlocked game discount. It just says sale price and price match discount. Now, the first employee tried to adjust it for me and applied my GCU which showed $39.99. When she adjusted it to $31.99, it went down to $25 so I guess GCU was applied even after adjusting it. She then called a manager and adjusted it to $31.99 and I got the game for $33+tax.
    So I'm guessing this purchase didn't count towards my limit since I didn't pay when GCU was applied and when it was adjusted, I don't see GCU game discount on receipt. Someone please confirm for me that this didn't count towards the limit. Thanks
    Solved!

    Hi SomethingNanika,
    First, thanks for being a Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) member! It certainly sounds like you’re taking advantage of your benefits and I’m happy that you’re so consciously aware of the limitations of said benefits. I’m also happy to provide some details around the purchase limits and what does/doesn’t count towards those limits.
    When you purchase a game and pay for it fully, that counts as one towards your limit. If you return that game, that quantity of one is then removed from your limit. However, if you do a return and a rebuy, it basically counts as a wash, as you’re subtracting one and then adding it right back. Furthermore, simply placing a pre-order deposit doesn’t count towards your limit until the game is paid in full and the pre-order is fulfilled.
    Lastly, if your GCU benefits aren’t applied to a purchase, then you are correct in saying that would not count towards your limit of three titles. Also, here’s a refresher:
    “The limits for using your Unlocked membership will be three (3) copies of a new (i.e not pre-owned) video game software title per platform, per year. Collector's and Limited Editions count towards this title limit. Game of the Year editions, usually released much later and including additional content, do not count towards this limit. Game of the Year versions count as a separate title and have their own limit of three copies per platform, per year.”

  • Submitting iPad and iPhone versions of the same app - same product ID?

    I'm submitting a DPS app with both iPad and iPhone renditions today. Do I use the same product ID or different ones for the folios that I am submitting with each app?
    Both renditions are the exact same content, they are free so didn't require IAP approval, so I assume they should have the same ID?

    It doesn't really matter since the folios are free, but using the same Product ID for a set a folio renditions is the recommended practice.
