> could work within Apple's rules by allowing the app to function as a reader for standard e-mail, while also offering Hey subscriptions
This is apple's new stance or is it conventional wisdom for store policy?
If only Hey also worked with regular mail all would have been well?
Since this sign up is through Apple, I assume Hey would have the device ID, and could limit repeat/duplicate/spam sign ups in some way.
I am also assuming that the marginal cost of hosting an account is trivial.
In this situation, _worst case_, someone creates a free account, likes how it works, and then has to pay $99 elsewhere in order to get a reasonable address.
This would kind of be the definition of malicious compliance. And honestly, ya, I would love it.
