Will my game get through the review process if I use the subscription model?
My board game has two modes:
Single-player against the AI.
Online synchronous multiplayer.
I am going to have an IAP called the Multiplayer Board Pack as it includes some special boards for use in multiplayer games. This IAP includes the ability to play online multiplayer games.
I am also thinking of instead of a one-time IAP, using the subscription model for the Multiplayer Board Pack. e.g. one dollar buys one month of online play.
But I don't know if this idea will successfully get through Apple's App Store review process, The App Store Review Guidelines that pertain to my idea are listed below. But none of them are clear nor fit perfectly. It seems to me that since a game is not a magazine or a service that has renewable content every month, that such a subscription IAP would be rejected. But what gives me hope is that 'cloud storage' which is mentioned in article 11.15 seems to be OK. Cloud storage is not content that is renewed every month and is similar to a service like online multiplayer.
