iOS & AndroidBusinessAccount Required Before IAP Browsing
Users must be able to browse in-app purchases without creating an account first. Requiring login before showing subscription options or IAP content violates App Store guidelines.
Quick Fix
Allow users to browse IAP options before requiring account creation. Move login requirement to the purchase confirmation step, not the browsing step.
