So not sure if this is an ideal forum to post this in, but I’m sure someone knows.

I was just thinking about, what if I did attempt to use kickstarter to get a small amount of funding for my game which will be on iOS. Then I make one of the options for support be that, once completed, you get a copy of it on iOS.

Does the App Store have some function that would allow me to then dish out copies to all people who provided initial support?

How would that work exactly? Because I don’t see anyway to do that with Apple’s App Store.

Well, the problem with giving the game away for free is that you only have 50 coupon codes to give out. I’ve thought about doing something similar.

You only get 50 coupon codes per update. That is the only way you can do it short of going through the list and manually gifting the app to people, which will obviously cost you.

Manually gifting can work…and as you get 70% apple will take their 30%…then tax…not sure how the tax will work. That will be a mess.
