Such a sad part of iOS. I have several high quality photo apps I prefer, and almost always end up using the default one because its easier to access.
To be fair, Android also doesn’t make third party camera apps accessible while locked.

#32Good on the Lux team for making it optional, but this is yet another app that wouldn’t have needed to introduce a subscription model if Apple would just relent on its unbending services push and add a mechanism for paid upgrades to the App Store.
Upgrades should already be possible, using bundles and the Complete My Bundle functionality. It's not terribly user-friendly perhaps, but should (in theory) work. A bit more expanded at http://www.eiman.tv/blog/posts/upgradepricing/index.html - haven't looked at this since 2016 though so perhaps something has changed since then.

Halide author here. Previously, you would pay-once at the time of download, so this isn't much different than what we had before.

Is there a trial of some sort to satisfy the requirement that your app has to "work" on download (edit: or are Apple IAP paywalls ok and I am just misunderstanding the App Store rules, which is very easy to do...)?

They fixed it. Just downloaded the bugfixed version and it restored my purchase.
24 minutes later from EU I downloaded the update and I’m locked out from Restore with a “Purchase Not Found” error.
Re: Halide Mark II
#37That was confusing. When I saw the app and that it offers in-app purchases, I thought something minimal would be possible without a purchase. But after downloading and launching it, I see the prompt to buy the subscription or the one time purchase, and nothing more. The app description on the store doesn’t make this — that a purchase must be made to use it — clear either. Edit: An observation I’ve had is that third p…
