Answer 2

Here are the answers :-

A. Apple doesn't have any restriction for implementing Auto-Renewable Subscription for non-newsstands apps.

B. Free Subscription can't be offered through in-app purchases in non newsstand apps. But if you are doing it using web-services then apple must not have any problem with that. It's just you may need to explain the functionality to them during app review and it will be accepted on app store.

C.Just follow the guidelines regarding implementing Auto-Renewable Subscription. That's it.
