Unlock content without InAppPurchase

My need is to unlock the content for users who buyed a tangible product, being more specific, a book.

In fact the app will be complementary, not the main product. The first idea is to ship an unlock code inside each book.

Knowing that InAppPurchase is the common method to unlock content in iOS apps and knowing that Apple could see this as workaround to avoid InAppOurchase, I'll like to ask if someone has already did this sucessfully without any problems in respect to Apple approval.

Unlocking content WITHOUT InAppPurchase conform to App Store rules?

I think, that you app is very likely to be rejected if you decide to make such an unlocking feature, according to Apple's Guidelines

11.1 - Apps that unlock or enable additional features or functionality with mechanisms other than the App Store will be rejected

So, you'd better not try to do that this way.
