I've given up on trying to incorporate in-app purchases into my app... way too much time/coding involved. HOWEVER I know that it's possible to integrate paypal into apps to accept payments. The vibe I get online is that Apple frowns upon this but would they outright reject my app because of it? I need to keep my app free because of some copyrighted material contained within, but I'm hoping to have a password-protected area and I'd like to charge for the username/password. Think I could get away with this?

Doubt it. Apple's crazy about this kinda thing. Oh, and the copyrighted material - um - did you check the checkbox that read I understand the copyright laws when you created your buzztouch app? This isn't good. PayPal + Apple = Nightmare. Sorry, don't have any good news here. I can say that there are hundreds (thousands maybe) of apps in the App Store that do use PayPal. Apple may or may not notice.. dunno. Think of it this way. You 'could' submit your app to Apple for approval without such a thing. Then, after it's approved, you could easily change it's content in your buzztouch control panel. Get it?

Hi, just submitted an app to Apple and forgot that one of my screens has paypal type links in it (bigcartel online store)...do you think I should/could remove this screen from my BT Control panel now and when they test the app that screen won't be there?(remember I already uploaded the binary).. Then just add the screen back in after approval? Don't think I have to remove screen then resubmit right? It is a custom URL link, nothing stored in the app...just double checking...thanks!!

Removing the menu item wouldn't hurt. However, it probably won't affect the approval / rejection decision. It's likely that they will navigate all the different screens in the app before tapping Refresh so they will surely see the PayPal link. Dunno the best approach?

Hi David, this is a just a version1.4 app...won't it update on download? Or maybe I'll reject the binary before they get a look at it? Apple is basically weary of any link that people will make a payment thru other than apple right?

Hi, I deleted the screen then did a test ad hoc build on my device and the screen is not there...so I think I am fine with my binary already uploaded to Apple...again this is v1.4

Yup, they want everyones money! Sounds like you have it worked out.
