My primary phone is an Android phone and now that Super Mario Run is available, I downloaded and purchased there. But I happen to have an iPod as well but didn't purchase since I know Android was coming. I don't want to buy on both if I don't have to since I'll only be able to play it on my iPod if I'm on wifi anyway.
Will I have to pay for it separately on my iPod if I want access to paid features? Or is there a way to unlock it since I already purchased it on Android? Or am I out of luck and will have to pay for it there too?
I know I can "restore" the purchase on other Android devices, I just tried and it worked. Attempting to do the same on my iPod doesn't work. It looks like it's trying to check my iTunes account to see if I purchased there.

Tapping the

button on the purchase screen gave the fine print, including this:So, no. You would need to fork over another $10 to unlock all of Super Mario Run on the other ecosystem.
This is common among multi-platform mobile apps, likely due to Apple and Google not wanting to work out some deal to share their cut of all sales.
