How to integrate paypal into your IOS app using swift?

Does the Instagram 3rd party Ban on using 'Insta' 'Gram' and 'Instagram' in the product names apply to iOS apps in the App Store that use the iOS between app document passing feature?

  • I'm working on an app that is suited for use with Instagram and when a user is done the user can export the image "Directly" to Instagram, by directly I mean the button inside our app will trigger Instagram to open and go directly to the photo editor with the 3rd party created image in the image pane. I think the ban was for developers who are using the API 'proper' but I would like clarification on this Basically what I'd like to know is can you still name the product something like 'xxxxxx for Instagram'?

  • Answer:

    Regardless of what Instagram intends by their new rules you may still be able to name your app "xxxx for Instagram" if: 1) Instagram has no way to block your specific app from working. 2) The use of "Instagram" in your app name is not considered trademark infringement. I'm assuming that 1) is the case, that they can't block your app because you haven't signed up for an API key or anything. As for 2), well I'm not a lawyer so I can't really say if that is fair use or not. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use for further explanation or contact a lawyer. I'm fairly certain however, that instagram does not want their name used.
