Apple Adds 'Offers In-App Purchases' Warning to App Store

Apple has added a warning to apps with in-app purchases to make it clearer to buyers that purchases can be made from within the application.

A message that reads 'Offers In-App Purchases' is display directly under the app's icon and buy/download button on its App Store page. So far the message hasn't been spotted on the mobile App Store.

It's thought the warning may have resulted from a lawsuit which Apple recently agreed to settle over 'bait apps' that allowed children to rack up huge iTunes bills on their parents account.
