I have received the same e-mail and I am worried about it.
It means that Apple will no longer offer hosting for non-consumable IAP content. This is clear.
So we have to find a solution, but we have only one month to find a solution. I cannot understand this decision and why only month to find a solution.
So, what is the solution?
on demand resource:
The email suggests to use the "on-demand solution", but this is not a solution for the in-app purchase because it means that every time that we need to deliver a new in-app purchase then we have to upload a new bundle (Giga byte of data!!!) together with app binary and make a full app review (binary and assets).
own server
The only real solution is move the "in-app-purchase" content into own server. So after purchasing from the App Store, the content will be downloaded from the server via http request (or via ftp request). Up to now, I cannot see any other solution. There are a lot of cloud services that offer a VPS solution for doing that.
Are there other solutions?
