VectorCat Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I purchased a license for photo weeks ago..just tonight I was asked for my apple id password.. should this happen? shouldn’t paid-for apps “know” that they’re paid-for/legit?

toltec Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Would you want every single app on every single machine you own to have access to and store your personal log-in details? And what would happen if you needed to change your log-in details, especially your password? You would have to go through every single app and update them. I think it is better that apps don't know.

Staff Leigh Posted September 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2018 It would have been the Mac App Store asking you to confirm your login details and not our app. I occasionally get this too on my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is better that apps don't know. due respect, that’s non sequitur. you can’t download it without paying, and both the app and the ipad seem to be informed of this in some way. when not connected to the web, the ipad continues to “know” which apps are/are not paid for. so, if an app suddenly needs confirmation that it’s been paid for, then , in lay terms, I’d say sumpin’s broke. ..in more specific language, whichever bit assures all concerned parties that the app has been paid-for isn’t getting read, or isn’t being believed.

walt.farrell Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Was it, perhaps, the app checking if an updated version was available? That could require a login to the store.
