RCPurchases


@interface RCPurchases : NSObject

RCPurchases is the entry point for Purchases.framework. It should be instantiated as soon as your app has a unique user id for your user. This can be when a user logs in if you have accounts or on launch if you can generate a random user identifier.

Warning

Only one instance of RCPurchases should be instantiated at a time! Use a configure method to let the framework handle the singleton instance for you.

        (nonnull RCReceivePurchaserInfoBlock)completion;

    Parameters

    completion

    A completion block called when purchaser info is available and not stale. Called immediately if purchaser info is cached. Purchaser info can be nil if an error occurred.

  • Fetch the configured offerings for this users. Offerings allows you to configure your in-app products via RevenueCat and greatly simplifies management. See the guide (https://docs.revenuecat.com/entitlements) for more info.

    Offerings will be fetched and cached on instantiation so that, by the time they are needed, your prices are loaded for your purchase flow. Time is money.

    Declaration

        (nonnull RCReceiveOfferingsBlock)completion;

    Parameters

    completion

    A completion block called when offerings are available. Called immediately if offerings are cached. Offerings will be nil if an error occurred.

  • Fetches the SKProducts for your IAPs for given productIdentifiers. Use this method if you aren’t using -offeringsWithCompletionBlock:. You should use offerings though.

    Note

    completion may be called without SKProducts that you are expecting. This is usually caused by iTunesConnect configuration errors. Ensure your IAPs have the “Ready to Submit” status in iTunesConnect. Also ensure that you have an active developer program subscription and you have signed the latest paid application agreements. If you’re having trouble see: https://www.revenuecat.com/2018/10/11/configuring-in-app-products-is-hard

    Parameters

    productIdentifiers

    A set of product identifiers for in app purchases setup via iTunesConnect. This should be either hard coded in your application, from a file, or from a custom endpoint if you want to be able to deploy new IAPs without an app update.

    completion

    An @escaping callback that is called with the loaded products. If the fetch fails for any reason it will return an empty array.

  • Use this function if you are not using the Offerings system to purchase an SKProduct. If you are using the Offerings system, use -[RCPurchases purchasePackage:withCompletionBlock] instead.

    Call this method when a user has decided to purchase a product. Only call this in direct response to user input.

    From here Purchases will handle the purchase with StoreKit and call the RCPurchaseCompletedBlock.

    Note

    You do not need to finish the transaction yourself in the completion callback, Purchases will handle this for you.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)purchaseProduct:(nonnull SKProduct *)product
        withCompletionBlock:(nonnull RCPurchaseCompletedBlock)completion;

    Parameters

    product

    The SKProduct the user intends to purchase

    completion

    A completion block that is called when the purchase completes. If the purchase was successful there will be a SKPaymentTransaction and a RCPurchaserInfo. If the purchase was not successful, there will be an NSError. If the user cancelled, userCancelled will be YES.

  • Purchase the passed RCPackage.

    Call this method when a user has decided to purchase a product. Only call this in direct response to user input.

    From here Purchases will handle the purchase with StoreKit and call the RCPurchaseCompletedBlock.

    Note

    You do not need to finish the transaction yourself in the completion callback, Purchases will handle this for you.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)purchasePackage:(nonnull RCPackage *)package
        withCompletionBlock:(nonnull RCPurchaseCompletedBlock)completion;

    Parameters

    package

    The RCPackage the user intends to purchase

    completion

    A completion block that is called when the purchase completes. If the purchase was successful there will be a SKPaymentTransaction and a RCPurchaserInfo. If the purchase was not successful, there will be an NSError. If the user cancelled, userCancelled will be YES.

  • This method will post all purchases associated with the current App Store account to RevenueCat and become associated with the current appUserID. If the receipt is being used by an existing user, the current appUserID will be aliased together with the appUserID of the existing user. Going forward, either appUserID will be able to reference the same user.

    You shouldn’t use this method if you have your own account system. In that case “restoration” is provided by your app passing the same appUserId used to purchase originally.

    Note

    This may force your users to enter the App Store password so should only be performed on request of the user. Typically with a button in settings or near your purchase UI. Use syncPurchasesWithCompletionBlock if you need to restore transactions programmatically.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)restoreTransactionsWithCompletionBlock:
        (nullable RCReceivePurchaserInfoBlock)completion;
  • This method will post all purchases associated with the current App Store account to RevenueCat and become associated with the current appUserID. If the receipt is being used by an existing user, the current appUserID will be aliased together with the appUserID of the existing user. Going forward, either appUserID will be able to reference the same user.

    Warning

    This function should only be called if you’re not calling any purchase method.

    Note

    This method will not trigger a login prompt from App Store. However, if the receipt currently on the device does not contain subscriptions, but the user has made subscription purchases, this method won’t be able to restore them. Use restoreTransactionsWithCompletionBlock to cover those cases.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)syncPurchasesWithCompletionBlock:
        (nullable RCReceivePurchaserInfoBlock)completion;
  • Computes whether or not a user is eligible for the introductory pricing period of a given product. You should use this method to determine whether or not you show the user the normal product price or the introductory price. This also applies to trials (trials are considered a type of introductory pricing).

    Note

    Subscription groups are automatically collected for determining eligibility. If RevenueCat can’t definitively compute the eligibility, most likely because of missing group information, it will return RCIntroEligibilityStatusUnknown. The best course of action on unknown status is to display the non-intro pricing, to not create a misleading situation. To avoid this, make sure you are testing with the latest version of iOS so that the subscription group can be collected by the SDK.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)checkTrialOrIntroductoryPriceEligibility:
                (nonnull NSArray<NSString *> *)productIdentifiers
