Develop In app purchase

Hello there I read the recent comments and guide of how to make an in app purchase using the plugin, posted in other topics... I have a question... How do I start to develop the in app purchase from buzztouch? like it's a new app?with app icon and so on? and when I finish that I make the link?

I intend to provide them with more information about areas near a city (the app I'm making is a city guide) and I don't want to make the app huge in MBs but only download the nearby area guides if necessary…the thing I don't know is that I have to make it like it's a new app? and then add it using the guide? And also is something like that available for android?

no. sounds like you would just 'hide' a screen, until they have paid for it ? then once paid, then can see the additional information ?

no. I want to make a city guide…right? And then make a guide for areas around this city, but not inside the app…I want them to be downloaded as an in-app purchase. Hope I made it clear what I want. Can you please help me?

So what 'exactly' will they be downloading? Another app? PDF document? The way you are explaining it, I would do all in one app

yes it could be another app but I want it to be inside the other... anyway, what is the way to build something and make it an in app purchase inside your app?do you create it like a new one?

This has always been a confusing subject for me as well, that's why I think the IAP plugin is so awesome. If you're willing to get technical you could give Parse a shot - one of the features of their site is allowing users to host downloadable content which is then delivered through Parse.com ...or something like that...maybe you'll be able to get it working (I couldn't). Here are the docs - https://www.parse.com/docs/ios_guide#iap/iOS

ok thanks so far... but can please anyone inform me if I want to create something that I'll use it as an in-app purchase inside my app, do I have to begin making a new app here in buzztouch? For example if I had a magazine and I would like to add new issue, I should make it from the beginning? as a new app?
