Version 1.8 and iOS store

Is the bug fixed that was making apple reject the mobile suite?

Which issue is that?

[Fin13]

I read in a prior forum that people where having mobile app rejected but that the bug would be fixed in 1.8

Several bugs were fixed in 1.8 and 1.9 that could have caused problems submitting to the iTunes store.

Ok, just so I know before purchasing, I want to sell the mobile suite at the apple and android stores, and my understanding is that if one pays and registers on the mobile suite, they can also use the web version, but if someone has not purchased the mobile suite, they can somehow be forbidden from using the web version unless they pay on the or purchase the mobile suite?

Also, my understanding is that the customer can post replies and post new threads from the mobile suite?

Also I can use custom avatars?

Hello,

That is incorrect. Payment for the mobile app cannot be used to give permissions for users to use the forum. vBulletin includes a subscription system (via web browser access) that can be used to purchase subscriptions (and increased permissions.) The purchase of the mobile app cannot be used to grant any special permissions by default.

Yes users can post via the mobile app.

You can set a custom avatar with the mobile app. You may take a photo or upload in image from the gallery,

So if someone buys the app, then I can grant them permission to bypass the paid subscription and grant them free access to the web. If someone just buys the web, then they can choose to buy the mobile app as well? I must get some notification that an app is purchased with the name and email, and then I can manually permit them to use the web as well - is that correct?

There is no way built into the software that allows someone to bypass the paid subscription. What you ask might be possible but would require someone to write custom software to do that- it is not something we do or support.

It would need to do more then check who purchased the app, there is no guarantee someone is using the same email address for their mobile device and their forum account.
