In App Purchasing and Push Notifications and a Newsstand work around

Hi all, As we know Newsstand isnt yet supported by buzztouch. I really need to make a Newsstand app and the quoted prices by reputable firms is very high. Now, to get into the newsstand folder on the font screen is incredibly easy, simply tweak a few things in the info.plist - no issues there at all. As the app is therefore in the right place, in theory all that needs to be added are the in app purchases for future issues to be loaded and push notifications to tell the user a new issue is available. Can anyone tell me or direct me to a work around - ie firstly how to add in app purcahsing to BT apps. This would be of enormous assistance and would be extremely gratefully received. Many thanks, Alex

Hi Future D, If you searched the forum you could have read that in app purchase is a wanted feature but is not done by anyone (or isn't shared). For Push notifications see the manual in the post of this forum topic: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=37FAB953175EE7E08F95349&status=&searchInput=push&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1 Maybe you can share exactly what you did with newsstand (i don't know what is but like to hear more about it). Best Regards, Danny

Hi FuturD, What do you mean (did you do) with this: Now, to get into the newsstand folder on the font screen is incredibly easy, simply tweak a few things in the info.plist - no issues there at all. Thanks and best Regards, Danny
