I'm developing an iPhone app with a subscription model, and I saw this iOS PayPal library: Apple takes 30% of revenue of everything, but PayPal takes significantly less for micro-payments (maxing out at 10%). Naturally, I became interested.
I guess what I'm confused about is this: if Apple wants everyone to use the in-app purchase library for everything (as per this document), why does this PayPal library even exist? Wouldn't any app that used it get rejected?
Has anyone successfully published an app in the app store that uses this library? If so, what was the purchase for? Digital goods? Physical goods? Content?

Unfortunately, some apps do get rejected straight out the gate. It's not always easy to find out what you need to do in order to avoid app store rejection. According to Apple, 88% of those rejections occur because of the most common faux pas.
Lack of app description, metadata, screenshots, and preview could possibly be the reason behind app declination. The incorrect information about the application can also cause App Store rejection. Try to keep your description to the point and accurate. Also, make sure your app doesn't point out any lies.
Don't forget to add a privacy policy to your application if you require personal information from your users. If they need to create an account or login through an existing one while using the application, you must add a privacy policy in the app, and link it to the app store listing in order to get accepted.
PayPal users can now pay for goods in the iTunes App Store with PayPal. Apple previously limited users to using credit and debit cards.
quote from some forum:
Hello, Apple policy restricts from using our library for accepting digital goods. Use our library should be for hard goods, donations, personal payments and services only.
I hope this clarifies your question.
Thank you.
Update on donations.
Apple has updated their policy (When?). You can no longer use PayPal iOS for donations.
