Why can't you do an in-app purchase that is the donation and doesn't unlock anything? Yeah, you're still paying the various taxes, but you don't need two apps.

Yup. You're right. You can do that.

You then have the problem of writing and maintaining the code for the IAP, which isn't always trivial. But yes, absolutely do-able.

At this point it's the same thing as selling an invisible skin for your app. The fundamental issue is that of selling vs donating.

Yep. And if you are in-tune with your users, create something the power-users will appreciate.
