I’ve a new version of an App that’s ‘ waiting for review’ and when it is released to the app store I want this new version to be free whereas the current version is paid. There doesn’t seem to be a way to set a separate price for the version in review. Have any other folks ran into this and solved?
What I suggest is to ensure the the new version is not released automatically – use the ‘Pending Developer Release’ system – and then set the price to free and release the new version simultaneously.
You may be able to automate this part by setting the date of the price change to the date of the release of the new version – but I haven’t tried this myself so I don’t know if they’d happen simultaneously.
If you were doing the opposite – converting your app from free to paid – there’s no Apple-friendly way I know of to prevent users of the free version getting the paid-for updates.
