About 90% of apps in the App Store are free nowadays, leaving developers to rely on in-app purchases to make money from their apps. To help you add content for sale within an iOS app, Apple requires a series of steps including filling out a contract and sharing your tax and banking information. Once you get the paperwork out of the way, you must configure your Apple ID for in-app purchasing and install a new development provisioning profile.

Once that is done, you can go into the “Manage In-App Purchases” feature in iTunes Connect to creating in-App purchase products. Here is more from Apple’s Developer blog:

Your Admin or Technical users should navigate to the Manage Your Applications in iTunes Connect, select the application for which they want to create In-App Purchase products, then click on the Manage In-App Purchases button in the ensuing page for this application. See the Registering an In-App Purchase section of the iTunes Connect Developer Guide for more information about creating In-App Purchase products. Read more

Should birdwatchers be able to use bird call apps? The question has caused a debate among birders.

Using apps like Chirp! Bird Songs USA, birdwatchers can instantly access an archive of countless bird sounds–getting very close to their subjects. National Geographic Daily News has more:

The trouble is, there’s a slippery slope leading toward harassment of rare and/or endangered birds and, in the worst case, genuine interference with their nesting success. And the slope got a lot steeper with the proliferation of smartphones and birdsong apps … a number of bad things could happen when a birder plays a song to attract a bird. Momentarily distracted, the bird could be snatched up by a predatory hawk (this has been witnessed a number of times by distraught birders).
