Paid app for Inapp free app purchase

I have a paid application in appstore, now I will convert it to a free application with inapp purchase. and I want to provide data for free to a user who purchased my version 1.0. At the moment, I am facing a problem. If a user buys my paid application, and if he uninstalls the application after I release my update one day, what should I do in this case, I want to provide data for free to the user who also uninstalled the application. I have two questions here.

1) Will my application be approved. If I did not provide the data for free to users who uninstalled the application and do not have a backup of my application?

2) If you can provide data for free to the user who deleted the application, please tell me how to do this.

You canโ€™t do anything if the user uninstalls the application from the device and installs the latest version of the application. If your application interacts with your server and stores information about the user who purchased the application, this means that it depends on the functionality of your application. If your application is a social networking application, your application has registration / registration and user registration, which you store on your server, then you can allow free access to your application based on this userโ€™s account ID.

Secondly, if you have any sqlite database inside your application, you can allow free access to your users based on this database. What you can do is change the name of the hat database in your latest version and when your application starts then it can check if the database already exists, if so, it means that this is an old user and you can allow this user free access to your content. Please note that if the user uninstalls the application before installing your latest version, then in this case we canโ€™t do anything and the other case is that

if the user installs his application on another iPad, then in this case we canโ€™t do anything. Now answer your questions: - 1. yes, your application is approved by Apple, regardless of whether you provide the content for free to an old Apple user. 2. We can do nothing if the user uninstalls the application before installing the latest version of the application until your application interacts with your server. Let me know if you have any other questions.
