@Mike_FTW He said in his post: "you need a Facebook account (or, as in my case, to be a friend of the people behind it)"

@Cabel @Mike_FTW Still, I wouldn't rule out blackmail.

@Cabel @Mike_FTW Which proves that the Facebook account isn't really necessary. Makes me wonder why they ask for it…

@chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW Because it’s a fast way to spread your product to a larger audience with free marketing hooks.

@KuraFire It's also a way to be sure I won't bother with it though. Which, I'm sorry about. /cc @chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW

@restiffbard @chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW I personally plan to offer Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as account creation methods. Choice.

@chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW I think @alanQuatermain nailed it when he said in-app sign up is no longer allowed. So apps bootstrap via fb.

Either

1. Maintaining your own login system at scale and long term is a development nightmare

2. Payola

@auibrian @chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW that's exactly why. Apple won't let you offer a 'create an account' feature, nor a link to one.

@alanQuatermain @auibrian @chockenberry @Mike_FTW Wha? When did this happen? What about Instagram? And why would Facebook somehow be ok?

@auibrian @alanQuatermain @chockenberry @Mike_FTW I literally had no idea. Even when there's no "purchasing" happening?!?

@Cabel @alanQuatermain @chockenberry @Mike_FTW no sign up link in FB I believe. You can leverage existing accts just not create them in app.

@alanQuatermain @auibrian @chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW that's only 4 paid digital content services like ebooks. Not a prob if mixel's free

@auibrian @Cabel @chockenberry @Mike_FTW Oh, there is a 'sign up' link in the FB dialog. That one's apparently exempt.

@Cabel @auibrian @chockenberry @Mike_FTW Yes— because we had to rip out all purchasing possibility and inference.

@Cabel @auibrian @chockenberry @Mike_FTW We were told it was in 11.13 or whatever section forced IAP. It's not there though.

@badeen @auibrian @chockenberry @Cabel @Mike_FTW Not according to the people running App Review, who told us that it applies to "all apps".

@Hunter @Cabel @auibrian @chockenberry @Mike_FTW Also: the app works without sign-up. You just can't download/buy *from us* without account.
