Hello,
I have an application using IAP and it looks like when I publish to google play my free and paid version are able able to accept the same sku name between both apps. However, when I submit the paid version of my application on the Amazon app store, because I have already submitted the free version I'm getting an error that the sku is not unique.
Must I add logic to my application to account for this now?
Thanks
Hi there,
Regrettably, that's the current limitation of Amazon Appstore, and yes, it will require changes to your source code / backend. If you would like to submit a feature request, then please do that in this space:

As a side note: It's very unusual to have IAP in both free and paid versions of the app. Normally, you'd have a single app that users can download for free, however if they want additional functionality, they should be able to purchase that via IAP within the same app. This would prevent splitting your code base down the road as your app grows in features, and code a lot of logic for free vs paid parts of the app. Thanks!
Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately its not as easy as that for me because I have logic built around the names of the skus and requires that I parse properly at the backend and database level. While I will manage this, is it possible to move this to a more appropriate forum regarding feature requests?
Hi there,
Thanks for posting! Your observation is correct. Regrettably, you will need to add a set of different SKUs for your paid version, and adjust your source code accordingly to access those SKUs. Thanks!
