Background We sell a suite of iPadOS/macOS apps that share a single auto-renewable subscription using this architecture. Per “Offering a Subscription Across Multiple Apps” we require users to sign in before purchasing so we can propagate the entitlement and avoid duplicate subscriptions across apps. To enforce that sign-in step we plan to turn off Streamlined Purchasing in App Store Connect. Question We also want to distribute subscription offer codes (for promotion, retention, appeasing dissatisfied customers, etc.). After Streamlined Purchasing is turned off, will customers still be able to redeem offer codes outside the app (App Store “Redeem Code” UI or redemption URL)? If outside-app redemption remains possible, it bypasses our sign-in gate and could let the same customer buy the suite twice (once via each app). Is there an approved method to limit offer-code redemption to the in-app flow only, or otherwise prevent such duplicate subscriptions? If no such limitation exists, what best-practice workaround does Apple recommend for multi-app suites that must turn off Streamlined Purchasing yet still wish to use offer codes without duplication risk? Environment StoreKit 2; server-side receipt validation & cross-app entitlement propagation. Apps support the in-app presentCodeRedemptionSheet flow. We expect to use both one-time-use and custom offer codes.

DocumentGroup and UIDocumentBrowserViewController similarly are both the entry point into your app. In macOS you have the menu bar where you can put document-independent functionality, but on iPadOS the only way I am aware of is to add buttons to the document browser's toolbar. Is there an equivalent to UIDocumentBrowserViewController's additionalLeadingNavigationBarButtonItems and additionalTrailingNavigationBarButtonItems when using DocumentGroup? For example, say you have a document-based app with a subscription and user account. In order to meet the account deletion requirement you can add an Account Settings button using additionalTrailingNavigationBarButtonItems (and to the menu bar in macOS)...but where does this type of functionality belong when using DocumentGroup? Requiring a user to open or create a document before they can sign out or delete their account doesn't seem like the right solution, nor does it seem like it would meet the requirements to "Make the account deletion option easy to find in your app", so I hope I'm just missing something. Also related, we use customActions to allow users to save existing documents as templates. Is there a way to do this with DocumentGroup? TIA!

When I use the UIDocumentPickerViewController with kUTTypeFolder I am only able to pick from the providers built-in to iOS/iPad OS, such as On My iPad, iCloud Drive, network shares and USB drives. As of beta 4, 3rd party providers are shown, but disabled (not selectable or browsable).I have not been able to find any information on whether or not 3rd party providers will be supported by the release of iPad OS 13. I am hoping this will be possible in a future build (or at least something 3rd party providers can enable) since this is a big driving factor for enabling us to ditch a *lot* of custom cloud storage code.Any info (or if anyone knows either way) would be much appreciated!
