I have developed an iOS application that was a paid app and it was released on AppStore. Many users have purchased it and downloaded it from there.

Now we have changed it to be free with some paid features. The problem now is that the past users who have already purchased the app are asked to pay for these new paid features. It shouldn't happen since they already purchased the whole app before.

Moreover, if one of those old users removed the app before new release then installed the new free release, he will be asked to pay for these new features also.

Is there a way to know whether the current Apple account has purchased this app - using the App ID - before ?

If not, is there a way to check if this app was installed before on the device then removed ?
