[英]How can I bundle an iPhone/iPad app with an ebook on iBooks?

原文 2011-03-30 02:52:23 8 2 iphone/ ipad/ ibooks

I am creating a universal iOS app, which I would like to distribute with certain eBooks published by other authors. 我正在创建一个通用的iOS应用程序，我希望与其他作者发行的某些电子书一起分发。 When a user purchases specific books, I would like to give them a free download of my app. 当用户购买特定书籍时，我想给他们免费下载我的应用程序。 For example, if my app is a glossary of statistical terms, I would like to offer my app for free when a user purchases a book such as "Statistics 101" or "Statistical Analysis of Stochastic Equations". 例如，如果我的应用程序是统计术语表，那么当用户购买诸如“ Statistics 101”或“随机方程的统计分析”之类的书时，我想免费提供我的应用程序。

I am willing to work with the author of the book to do what is necessary. 我愿意与这本书的作者一起做必要的事情。 But what I want to find out is how can I link the eBook purchase on iBooks with a free app download. 但是，我想知道的是如何将在iBooks上购买的电子书链接到免费的应用程序下载。 If it means generating unique promo-code like numbers to redeem, how do I generate hundreds of them and have them individually served out? 如果这意味着生成唯一的促销代码（例如要兑换的号码），我该如何生成数百个促销代码并将其单独送达？

2 个解决方案

You can't. 你不能 But you can do the reverse, embed a pdf inside of an application. 但是您可以反过来，将pdf嵌入应用程序中。

There's really no mechanism to do coupons or special discount codes in iTunes for apps. 在iTunes中，实际上没有机制可以为应用程序制作优惠券或特殊折扣代码。

You could make the App only work after the entry of a Promo code, but Apple will not approve it. 您可以使该应用仅在输入促销代码后才能运行，但Apple不会批准它。

With a native App, its nearly impossible. 使用本地应用程序，几乎是不可能的。 But it should work with an Web-App. 但是它应该可以与Web应用程序一起使用。 Is this an option? 这是一个选择吗？

Otherwise you could bundle the ebook with your App. 否则，您可以将电子书与您的应用捆绑在一起。
