I set up my entire app to run off Stripe subscription and just now realized Apple requires IAPHUB… so for my web app I was thinking of keeping Stripe, duplicating and having 2 apps, setting the 2nd version of the App up with IAPHUB and publishing that version to app store. My question is, if a user subscribes in the apple version, will that record update in the web version of the app? Does that make sense?
Hi @nocder,
That depends on how you set up your app paywall / subscription logic. Technically - this could be done.
If you’re using 2 apps with same DB, you can set up a property in Users collection which indicates whether the user is premium (subscribed) or not. Then you can use this property to store subscription status.
Of course you will need to set up all the logic very carefully to ensure the cross-app compatibility.
By the way, Apple has lifted their IAP restrictions for the US market, see here: App Review Guidelines - Apple Developer.
Best regards, Victor.
Hi @Victor,
Thanks for the response! So am I seeing it correctly that since my app is a US based app and will only be available in the US anyway, I can use the Stripe component in my app and not go through Apple? The doc is just a little confusing.
Thanks!
Hi @nocder,
It seems like that. However but I’m not aware of any detail how this works in reality now. Doc is indeed confusing.
If you would like to refer to the source, there is an 80-page court decision on Epic vs Apple case, which eventually seem to lead to allowing other payment methods in Appstore. This court decision is even more confusing to read 
Best,
Victor.
