3. Confirmation check boxes before submitting your app
:
We have introduced check boxes for the before you submit your app to the app stores, making sure all important steps are completed to minimise the time to get your app live:
  • Step 0: App Submissions
a) Start Setup button is inactive by default
b) Show “How to configure your product correctly before creating your mobile app” info section linking to the Help Center: What do I need to do before I submit my app?
c) Show empty Checkbox with text label: “I confirm I have completed the Product Setup Checklist”
d) When you check all the checkbox, the Start Setup field is active
  • Step 1: App Submissions
a) Add a instructor@passion.io checkbox
b) Text: I confirm I have added instructor@passion.io as a contributor in my Google Developer Account
c) Default state: unchecked
d) Both checkboxes (<confirm that dev account is created> + <confirm that instructor email is added>) are required for the Next Step button to become active
4. Reduce the size of the GPLK field
:
We reduced GPLK field (in Android setup) is reduced to a normal field size (just like all the others) and the key shown inside is trimmed to fit the screen

8. Pricing Plans & In App Purchases logic improvement
:
a) Pricing plans higher than $50 recurring or $100 one-time: in-app purchases will not be sent to the app stores for review automatically. we create them in the backend but do not upload to app stores or submit for review.
b) Pricing Plan widget does not allow pricing plans higher than $50 recurring or $100 one-time on the sales page
b.i) Error message: This plan exceeds the maximum price for an In-App-Purchase. The maximum Apple and Google will accept is $100 upfront or $50/mo. To sell plans above this amount, we recommend you use web checkouts instead. Click here to learn more.
