In App Purchase vs Free and Paid versions - ios

I know this has been asked in the past, but I have seen no new posts since the hacking issues that took place in July regarding in app purchases.

I would like to use the in app purchase system to allow a user to remove ads from my application. This seems like a much cleaner solution than maintaining 2 separate apps (free and paid).

I would appreciate any feedback others have on this topic. I know apple has implemented a fix to stop the hacking.. but still wanted some input from the SO user community.

Thank you.

  • Use Apple's VerificationController to validate the receipts you get and you can safely use IAP under iOS 5.x. In my own app I use this regardless of the iOS version (5 or 6).
