  • In App Purchases When Previous Version Was Paid With Trial

    I’m trying to finish up the Windows Phone 8 version of Network Dashboard and I’ve run into a bit of a conundrum: The Windows Phone 7 version of Network Dashboard was a $0.99 app with a free trial, but I’d like to make the Windows Phone 8 version free with in app purchases to open…
