Does anyone know if or when subscriptions and in-app purchases will be supported for ChatGPT apps built with the new OpenAI Apps SDK? My app currently uses a premium subscription model where users are redirected from ChatGPT to an external website to complete the subscription checkout. I’m trying to confirm whether this approach is acceptable under the current App Submission Guidelines. From my understanding, subscriptions and other digital purchases may not be supported yet, but I’m not sure if I’m interpreting the guidelines correctly. Has anyone seen official clarification or updates on this? Thanks in advance for any insight. ---
