Newspaper application design examples

The design examples for a newspaper application describe how to design a first-time purchase in your application, and how to provide support to the user. They also provide different scenarios for a restoration of content that the user has already purchased.

In the design scenarios for the 'Digital Newspaper' application, the purchasable service, a newspaper subscription, is not protected with built-in DRM. The newspaper content is hosted on the publisher's back end server. The server stores data on subscriptions that users have purchased earlier, which enables restoring previously purchased and still valid subscriptions to the user. The application also maintains a record of transactions, and the expiry dates of the user's subscriptions, and verifies this data against the server's data when needed.
