带或不带 AppStore 的 iPhone 应用 [英] iPhone app with or without AppStore

问题描述

我的公司正在为我们的客户提供一项我们希望在 iphone 上实施的服务.我们的客户每月需要为这项服务支付 5000 美元，因此他们可以免费为客户提供服务.我们一直在寻找(到目前为止没有成功)一种分销方法，我们可以向客户出售我们的服务，他们可以将服务提供给他们的客户，而无需向最终用户收取费用，也无需向 Apple 支付 30% 的分销费.

My company is offering a service to our clients which we would like to implement on iphone. Our clients would be paying $5000 per month for the service, so they can give it free of charge to their customers. We have been looking (so far with no success) for a distribution method where we can sell our service to our clients, and they can give it to their customers, without charging the end users and without paying the 30% distribution fees to Apple.

我们进行了研究，发现没有一个方便的解决方案适合我们:

We did our research and found that non of the convenient solutions would work for us:

• 将应用程序放在 App Store 上免费下载、使用用户/密码保护它以及远程向我们的客户收费可能会违反 App Store 条款和条件.

• Putting the app for free download on the App store, protecting it with user/password and charging our clients remotely may violate the App Store terms and conditions.

临时开发是不够的，因为我们的目标是在不同的客户端设备上下载超过 1 万次.

Ad hoc development would be insufficient as we are aiming towards over 10K downloads on different client devices.

企业解决方案适用于拥有 500 多名员工的美国公司的内部分发(我们没有在内部使用它，我们在美国境外，目前只有 5 名员工:)

And the Enterprise solution is for internal distribution in US companies with more than 500 employees (and we are not using it internally, we are outside US and currently have only 5 employees :)

非常感谢您的帮助！

推荐答案

第一个解决方案可能被认为是最好的，但不符合 Apple 协议条款.

The first solution could be envisaged as the best one but is not compliant with Apple Term Of Agreement.

这个想法是:

• 通过应用商店免费销售(避免 30%)您的应用
• 直接向您的客户出售订阅

要合规，您需要:

• 将订阅也作为应用内购买出售，以符合 Apple 条款(在您的情况下永远不会使用).它自 2011 年 6 月 30 日起发生了变化(BlogArticle & MacRumors)，你可以在那里找到官方文本:[AppleTerms] (需要开发者帐户)
• 不要在您的应用程序中放置任何用于获取订阅的按钮，并避免在已部署的应用程序中使用诸如购买之类的文本.

• sell a subscription also as an in app purchase to be compliant with Apple Terms (would be never used in your case). It has changed since June, 30 2011 (BlogArticle & MacRumors) and you can found official text there : [AppleTerms] (requires a developer account)
• don't put any button to get a subscription within your application and avoid text like buy or something like that in the deployed application.

11.14 应用可以阅读或播放在应用之外订阅或购买的已批准内容(特别是杂志、报纸、书籍、音频、音乐和视频)，只要没有按钮或外部链接在应用程序中购买批准的内容.对于在应用之外订阅或购买的已批准内容，Apple 不会获得任何收入.
