Is it OK to show localized pricing information in an ios app
I've read in a number of places (ie. http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/app-store/rejections) that you should not include price information in your app for either the "full version" or in app purchases.
The reasoning is generally that the apps are sold globally, and prices and currency vary by region.
I've used the localized currency value (I'm actually using MKStoreKit, it's great and you should try it), and I'm wondering if anyone has displayed localized price information in their app and had it pass app store submission?
I'd s开发者_JS百科ure like to include the price in my promotional view for my IAP, but I don't want to be rejected for doing so.
Using the official Store Kit Framework
is the recommended way of doing it. It is advised that you don't display prices outside of this value as it can be confusing to customers. Through iTunesConnect, you can adjust prices remotely so there is never an un-localized, or conflicting price. In fact, I think you could even be rejected for higher priced items if you don't tell the user how much an in-app purchase is.
I have had no problems with apps that display the pricing information provided it's getting fetched on the fly from MKStoreKit
. It's as much to do with local variations as global ones - Apple's restriction is designed to prevent situations arising where you might hard-code a pricing value into your app which subsequently goes out of date due to currency variations. For example, a month or so ago Apple re-calculated the pricing tiers for the Euro, Pound, and a few other currencies.
The best place to go for this information would be the Apple published guidelines, which have much improved: http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
