アプリをサブスクリプション型に切り替える場合は、既存ユーザーにも以前と同じ機能を提供すること。
(こういうのでリジェクトされた例は効いたことがないので、常識的な指針みたいなものだと思います。)
原文
If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for.
For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.

原文
Subscriptions may include consumable credits, gems, in-game currencies, etc., and you may offer subscriptions that include access to discounted consumable goods (e.g. a platinum membership that exposes gem-packs for a reduced price).
(訳注 このあたりのごちゃごちゃした制限は、過去に悪さをした開発者達を封じるためのものだと思います。)

原文
As with all apps, those offering subscriptions should allow a user to get what they’ve paid for without performing additional tasks, such as posting on social media, uploading contacts, checking in to the app a certain number of times, etc.

サブスクリプションで提供されるゲームはAppStoreから落とされること
原文
You may offer a single subscription that is shared across your own apps and services, but these subscriptions may not extend to third party apps or services.
Games offered in a game subscription must be owned or exclusively licensed by the developer (e.g. not part of a game publishing platform).

０円消費型アイテムでお試し期間を実現するのはOK
お試し期間アイテムの名前は“XX-day Trial.”という命名規則でないといけない
原文
Non-subscription apps may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by setting up a Non-Consumable IAP item at Price Tier 0 that follows the naming convention: “XX-day Trial.” Prior to the start of the trial,
your app must clearly identify its duration, the content or services that will no longer be accessible when the trial ends, and any downstream charges the user would need to pay for full functionality.
Learn more about managing content access and the duration of the trial period using Receipts and Device Check.
