Do iOS Apps require a registration flow?

I have a website that hosts online courses for registered users.

I am now creating an app that will:

  1. Ask users to login,
  2. Allow the user to navigate their courses,
  3. Allow the user to play course content.

My question is, will Apple accept an app that:

  1. Requires a user to login before gaining any value?
  2. Does not allow users to register on the App (you have to register on the website, there is a link on the app login page to the website registration - the registration is free).

The Apple guidelines do not explicitly say that you have to be able to register on the app. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Solution

  • As per my experience Apple will allow, I have 3 apps in App Store that have similar workflow you mentioned.

    My App Works like:

    1. When app is opened it ask for a PIN
    2. User can get the PIN by registering to our web-site
    3. After entering the PIN my app allow the user to continue
