ios - In App Purchase vs Free and Paid versions - ios

Question

I know this has been asked in the past, but I have seen no new posts since the hacking issues that took place in July regarding in app purchases.

I would like to use the in app purchase system to allow a user to remove ads from my application. This seems like a much cleaner solution than maintaining 2 separate apps (free and paid).

I would appreciate any feedback others have on this topic. I know apple has implemented a fix to stop the hacking.. but still wanted some input from the SO user community.

Thank you.

Use Apple's VerificationController to validate the receipts you get and you can safely use IAP under iOS 5.x. In my own app I use this regardless of the iOS version (5 or 6).
