Get Started

Getting started

react-native-iap will help you access the In-App purchases capabilities of your device on iOS, and Android (Play Store and Amazon).

note

This library will provide the basic features to consume In-App purchases on the client-side, however you'll have to implement the server-side to validate your receipts (which is probably the most time consuming part to do it correctly).

Requirements​

  • react >= 16.13.1
  • react-native >= 0.65.1

Installation​

Start with installing the package:

npm install react-native-iap

iOS​

cd ios; pod install; cd -

You can now get started hacking!

Android​

With Android Support​

Go to android/build.gradle and modify the following lines:

buildscript {
  ext {
    ...
+   supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
  }
}

With AndroidX​

Go to android/build.gradle and modify the following lines:

buildscript {
  ext {
    ...
+    androidXAnnotation = "1.1.0"
+    androidXBrowser = "1.0.0"
+    minSdkVersion = 24
+    kotlinVersion = "1.8.0"
  }
}

dependencies {
  ...
+ classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
}

Configure the payment provider​

You can support either Play Store, Amazon or both.

  • To only support Play Store, go to android/app/build.gradle:
defaultConfig {
  ...
+ missingDimensionStrategy "store", "play"
}
  • To support both:
android {
  ...
+ flavorDimensions "appstore"
+
+ productFlavors {
+   googlePlay {
+     dimension "appstore"
+     missingDimensionStrategy "store", "play"
+   }
+
+   amazon {
+     dimension "appstore"
+     missingDimensionStrategy "store", "amazon"
+   }
+ }
}

And your are now good to go!
