How to give my paid app to someone for free

Tags:

iphone

I have an app on the app store which is a paid-for app. Is there a way of giving my app away to certain people via email for free?

I don't mean 'gifting it' because that would cost me 30%. I mean completely free for both parties?

Method 1Add the App to Your Family Library. The best way to buy an Android app for somebody else is to add it to your Google Play Family Library. In essence, you'll buy the app using your own account, then the recipient will be able to download the app as if they paid for it. There's a drawback to this method, however.

Go to iTunes Connect and generate some promo codes. There's a limit of 50 for each release and there are some limitations, for example users can't add reviews in iTunes.

Update: In 2013, Apple upped the number of promo codes for each version of your app from 50 to 100.
