  • Chapter
The Business of iPhone and iPad App Development

Abstract

In-App Purchase was one of the more exciting and highly anticipated features introduced in iPhone SDK 3.0. The option to integrate e-commerce within both free and paid iOS apps opened up a new frontier for developers to create additional revenue opportunities beyond just traditional app sales. In-App Purchase enables you to sell subscriptions, services, virtual goods, and add-on content, such as premium features or additional game levels—all within your app.
