• Apple rejects Hey calendar app for not allowing non-paying users to do anything within the app.

• Hey had previously faced a similar rejection from Apple for its original iOS app four years ago.

• Hey plans to fight Apple’s decision, but the specific approach is not yet known.

        Have you checked in the actual app? The App Store page often shows legacy info. I know it was possible before, but afaik they changed it some years back.

            The Apple developer terms actually have a specific section for “reader apps” which are primarily meant for consuming media purchased or subscribed to outside of the Apple Store. The in app purchase requirements are relaxed for apps falling in this category. I don’t think a calendar app fits that, though.

            You can log in without having a sub. You just need to create an account on the web.

            The OP is about not being able to do anything without paying. Not about not being able to do anything without an account.
