The app I'm talking about costs 4.99 forever. And even in the free version, it is not very limited. In fact, this payment is like a donation.

Do you sell it as a free version and a paid version as two separate packages/apps, or do you activate an in app purchase?

From my experience dealing with the general public (I used to build some games that also exported to Android) the latter seemingly gets treated as a gross ripoff scam and the former is acceptable to people - it's a giant buy button with the price on it. We got better results when the "premium version!" upsell just opened the premium version in the app store. Worked great for one time purchases.

This seems like a common practice, for example the non-abusive third party reddit client (the first-party one is an abomination of spam, invasive tracking, spam push notifications, and incredibly terrible dark patterns) app:
