I understand, and mostly agree, but in this case I am locked into the Apple ecosystem, for some reasons, especially because the client already bought the iPad...bfavaretto– bfavaretto2012-07-26 22:51:36 +00:00Commented Jul 26, 2012 at 22:51

1I would pass the responsibility for licenses to the customer. I assume the end software will be owned by them. In that case, they should pay any ongoing license fees, not you. You could look at a 1 off fee of $99.00 (Put as a line item on your invoice "Apple Taxes"), and make it clear that the end of each year they must pay another $99.00 if required by the license. (Not too many years before that iPad starts looking pretty expensive against a Samsung.) BTW- a 1 off $100 is chicken feed when talking about software development. If it's of concern, the entire project is a concern.mattnz– mattnz2012-07-27 02:32:05 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2012 at 2:32

That's very good advice, thanks. However, regardless of who will be paying for the licenses, it bothers me a lot that the app still must be updated every year, or it will stop working. It's extra work that I'm not willing to do - even if I charge them for it.bfavaretto– bfavaretto2012-07-27 15:20:29 +00:00Commented Jul 27, 2012 at 15:20

1Basic requirements management dictates that the requirement drives technology. In this case "Must use IPad" - technology has become a requirement, that is conflicting with other requirements. The resolution of this conflict needs to be addressed before the project starts.mattnz– mattnz2012-07-31 21:49:55 +00:00Commented Jul 31, 2012 at 21:49

You are right in every aspect. Although this won't solve my immediate problem (and that's why I accepted a different answer), I'll definitely keep it in mind for future projects.bfavaretto– bfavaretto2012-08-06 22:05:58 +00:00Commented Aug 6, 2012 at 22:05

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
