- Android: Google Play Billing Library v8.0.0
- Windows: Microsoft Store API (Windows 10/11)
- macOS: StoreKit 2 (requires macOS 13.0+)

Installation

Install the JavaScript package:

``bash
npm install @choochmeque/tauri-plugin-iap-api


or

yarn add @choochmeque/tauri-plugin-iap-api

or

pnpm add @choochmeque/tauri-plugin-iap-api
`

Add the plugin to your Tauri project's Cargo.toml:

`toml
[dependencies]
tauri-plugin-iap = "0.7"
`

Configure the plugin permissions in your capabilities/default.json:

`json
{
"permissions": [
"iap:default"
]
}
`

Register the plugin in your Tauri app:

`rust
fn main() {
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_iap::init())
.run(tauri::generate_context!())
.expect("error while running tauri application");
}
`

Example App

An example application is available in the examples/iap-demo directory. The example demonstrates all core IAP functionality with a UI:

- Fetch and display products with pricing
- Purchase products and subscriptions
- Restore previous purchases
- Check product ownership status
- Real-time purchase update notifications

$3

`bash
cd examples/iap-demo

Install dependencies

pnpm install

Run in development mode

pnpm tauri dev

Build for production

pnpm tauri build
`

Important: The app must be properly code-signed to test IAP functionality:
- iOS/macOS: Code signing is required by StoreKit. Configure signing in Xcode or via Tauri's configuration.
- Android: Sign your APK/AAB with a release keystore for production testing.
- Windows: App must be associated with Microsoft Store and signed for Store submission.

The example app provides a fully functional demo with inline documentation for each IAP feature, making it easy to understand how to integrate the plugin into your own application.

Usage

$3

`typescript
import {
getProducts,
purchase,
restorePurchases,
acknowledgePurchase,
getProductStatus,
onPurchaseUpdated,
PurchaseState
} from '@choochmeque/tauri-plugin-iap-api';

// Get available products
const products = await getProducts(['subscription_id_1', 'subscription_id_2'], 'subs');

// Check if user owns a specific product
const status = await getProductStatus('subscription_id_1', 'subs');
if (status.isOwned && status.purchaseState === PurchaseState.PURCHASED) {
console.log('User has active subscription');
if (status.isAutoRenewing) {
console.log('Subscription will auto-renew');
}
}

// Purchase a subscription or in-app product
// Simple purchase (will use first available offer on Android if not specified)
const purchaseResult = await purchase('subscription_id_1', 'subs');

// With specific offer token (Android)
const purchaseResult = await purchase('subscription_id_1', 'subs', {
offerToken: product.subscriptionOfferDetails[0].offerToken
});

// With fraud prevention (Android)
const purchaseResult = await purchase('subscription_id_1', 'subs', {
obfuscatedAccountId: 'hashed_account_id',
obfuscatedProfileId: 'hashed_profile_id'
});

// With app account token (iOS - must be valid UUID)
const purchaseResult = await purchase('subscription_id_1', 'subs', {
appAccountToken: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000'
});

// Restore purchases (specify product type)
const restored = await restorePurchases('subs');

// Acknowledge a purchase (Android only, iOS auto-acknowledges)
await acknowledgePurchase(purchaseResult.purchaseToken);

// Listen for purchase updates
const listener = await onPurchaseUpdated((purchase) => {
console.log('Purchase updated:', purchase);
});

// Stop listening
await listener.unregister();
