I have a query and am really not sure if this is the right place to post it but if any one can help I will be grateful.

Am developing a game based on fremium model. It's already live on web and alternatively the same game is playable on facebook canvas as facebook app too. In addition the game allows users to f connect on normal website.

Now am planning a mobile version of the same game and am really confused if apple and google will allow my old users to use their old or even new premium purchases to be utilised and retained in the mobile version of the game?

Basically I plan to have a single database multiplatform accessible game where users playing on different platforms facebook, iOS, android, normal browser login will be able to interact and play together. At the same time an user playing the app on one platoform will be able to access his user id from other platform too. I read that apple doesn't allow premium purchase done on other platforms to be used on it.

Any solutions? Suggestions?

Am trying searching again but unable to locate the same info again. What I meant was, just o be clear, if an user makes purchase of some virtual good from apple App Store in iOS app then the same user for his account when accessing from other platform won't be able to use the same. – Yadvinder Singh Jan 4 at 18:12
If you add some kind of money to the game (coins for example) I think you can use it without problems. Is the same approach that use other games that has a FB and iOS client. Buy money (with real money) that is associated to your account, and then use that money to buy stuff. – Setrio Jan 8 at 11:28
