Questions about One-Time Purchase Apps

Does one-time purchase include all future versions?

Not necessarily. The collection records the current purchase type only. Upgrade terms and edition scope must be checked through the linked official source.

Are Mac, iPhone, and iPad licenses bundled?

No blanket assumption is made. Product and platform licenses can differ, so use the app review and official purchase page for the exact scope.
