Hi, i have a question about license: the MIT license, which is the license of the Business Sample App, allows me to sell or publish a derivated app???Thanks.
I am publishing soon and I have in-app purchases in my iOS app. I have already been using the starter version and know I need to upgrade. I am trying to figure out if I need to get Pro or Enterprise…Can I get some more info on the ‘revenue limit’?
How does revenue information get passed on? Is it per game? Is it per platform?
e.ahmad1991, in-app purchases refers to the ability for users to make purchases *inside* your app. That is what is restricted in Starter. But with Starter you can definitely publish an app and sell it on the app stores.
bridget3, if you only need in-app purchases, wait until tomorrow as we have an announcement coming about this. You could also do Pro as that adds other functionality. Corona Enterprise adds the ability to call native libraries, which you may not need.

cool thanks! Looking for the announcement…does it have to do with being able to create in app purchases with starter? I just had my partner pay for pro yesterday but we are a 2 person company and definitely below the half a million dollar mark so even the $588 hurt a bit…we plan to give the app for free but try to get something from in app upgrades so I suppose we would have to sell a bunch of those to even break even. Let me know whats possible…
and thanks for the awesome tool!
Just to add to and restate Bridget’s question for clarification…
“How does revenue information get passed on? Is it per game? Is it per platform?”
How/When do we measure when we hit the revenue limit to decide when to upgrade any subscription? In other words fiscal year start/ end is most likely different to license subscribers fee date start/end and growth to any limit may peak and fall off across these dates as well.
IN potential answer I looked at Corona FAQs… (added below) but I still have questions.
Q1 Definition of ‘revenue’ Is this all company revenue (i.e size from all services and products (even non-Corona)) or just Corona created apps ?
Q2 examples.’ Fiscal Year’, if this is say, ‘April to April’, and Corona subscription is ‘June to June’ and publication is following Sept in first fiscal year published on Basic version; Next April not having hit 'revenue ’ limit-[no upgrade], Next June (subscription duel) but below limit [no upgrade], but following months hit subscription limit.
Q2 actual question When should I upgrade subscription, directly one month after hitting the limit i(n my example above), or, next June when existing subscription runs out, or, is the upgrade discounted by amount ‘not used’ and purchased at the time limit is reached ?
What if then the revenue drops off in April the next year.?
Q3 What happens to the Apps that exceed the limit and no upgrade publication is purchased because development is ‘frozen’?
_ 'What do the Revenue Limits mean? _
This is the maximum annual revenue (in their last fiscal year) a company or legal entity may have in order to use that version of Corona SDK/Enterprise. For example, a company with more than $100k in annual revenue the previous fiscal year cannot use Corona SDK Starter to publish apps but can do so with Corona SDK Pro or Corona Enterprise."
ibmprgmrsince1964 - Our goal is to make this as simple as possible:
-
Revenue means revenue for the whole company.
-
“Year” refers to the last complete fiscal year for the company.
-
You do not need to upgrade a subscription immediately if you happen to pass a revenue limit. It is fine if you renew at the right level when you are up for renewal
-
You are free to stop subscribing at any time. Your published apps will be unaffected - and can make any amount of revenue. Of course, if you need to update them at some point, you would need a valid subscription (at the right tier level).
Very Clear now… Thanks David.
one further q’ ref (4)
From your experience can you tell me…
What happens at the end of the Xcode subscription… Does apple disable the Apps and withdraw them from the store if no further annual Xcode subscription fee is paid?
Or are they like Corana, once built and published the apps stay ‘as is’ and the apps can still be downloaded and used Ad infinitum, subject to no bugs/failures? I think your reply implies the latter.
Alec
Your apps will disappear from the Apple Store if you discontinue paying Apple it’s license - and then magically reappear the moment you send them $99 again.
