iOS Standard program restrictions

[jorgmart]

Hello there,

I'm a new iPhone programmer, currently in the process of apply to the iPhone Standard Program (a lot of requirements, by the way).

My question is, what kind of applications are allowed? ... for example, I'm thinking in a free news app, but it will be a pay service ... this is, the app will ask the user for a valid username and password.

Is this allowed? ... is there another application which do something similar?

Any advice will be appreciated ...

You'd probably need to build the back end first and then Apple will probably know this app is an application to access said service.
