flutter_inapp_purchase 1.0.1

In App Purchase plugin for flutter. This project has been forked by react-native-iap and we are willing to share same experience with that on react-native.

flutter_inapp_purchase

Deprecated

I've been maintaining this plugin since there wasn't an official plugin out when I implemented it. I saw in flutter github issue #9591 that many people have been waiting for this plugin for more than a year before I've thought of building one. However, there has been an official Google plugin rised today which is in_app_purchase. Please try to use an official one because you might want to get much prompt support from giant Google. Also, thanks for all your supports that made me stubborn to work hard on this plugin. I've had great experience with all of you and hope we can meet someday with other projects.

In App Purchase plugin for flutter. This project has been forked from react-native-iap. We are trying to share same experience of in-app-purchase in flutter as in react-native. We will keep working on it as time goes by just like we did in react-native-iap.

PR is always welcomed.

Breaking Changes

• Migrated to Android X in 0.9.0. Please check the Migration Guide.
• There was parameter renaming in 0.5.0 to identify different parameters sent from the device. Please check the readme.

Migration Guide

To migrate to 0.9.0 you must migrate your Android app to Android X by following the Migrating to AndroidX Guide.

Getting Started

Methods

Func	Param	Return	Description
~prepare~		String	Deprecated Use initConnection instead.
initConnection		String	Prepare IAP module. Must be called on Android before any other purchase flow methods. In ios, it will simply call canMakePayments method and return value.
getProducts	List<String> Product IDs/skus	List<IAPItem>	Get a list of products (consumable and non-consumable items, but not subscriptions). Note: On iOS versions earlier than 11.2 this method will return subscriptions if they are included in your list of SKUs. This is because we cannot differentiate between IAP products and subscriptions prior to 11.2.
getSubscriptions	List<String> Subscription IDs/skus	List<IAPItem>	Get a list of subscriptions. Note: On iOS this method has the same output as getProducts. Because iOS does not differentiate between IAP products and subscriptions.
getPurchaseHistory		List<IAPItem>	Gets an invetory of purchases made by the user regardless of consumption status (where possible)
getAvailablePurchases		List<PurchasedItem>	(aka restore purchase) Get all purchases made by the user (either non-consumable, or haven't been consumed yet)
getAppStoreInitiatedProducts		List<IAPItem>	If the user has initiated a purchase directly on the App Store, the products that the user is attempting to purchase will be returned here. (iOS only) Note: On iOS versions earlier than 11.0 this method will always return an empty list, as the functionality was introduced in v11.0. See Apple Docs for more info Always returns an empty list on Android.
buySubscription	string Subscription ID/sku, string Old Subscription ID/sku (on Android)	PurchasedItem	Create (buy) a subscription to a sku. For upgrading/downgrading subscription on Android pass second parameter with current subscription ID, on iOS this is handled automatically by store.
buyProduct	string Product ID/sku	PurchasedItem	Buy a product
buyProductWithoutFinishTransaction	string Product ID/sku	PurchasedItem	Buy a product without finish transaction call (iOS only)
finishTransaction	void	String	Send finishTransaction call to Apple IAP server. Call this function after receipt validation process
consumePurchase	String Purchase token	String	Consume a product (on Android.) No-op on iOS.
endConnection		String	End billing connection (on Android.) No-op on iOS.
consumeAllItems		String	Manually consume all items in android. Do NOT call if you have any non-consumables (one time purchase items). No-op on iOS.
validateReceiptIos	Map<String,String> receiptBody, bool isTest	http.Response	Validate receipt for ios.
validateReceiptAndroid	String packageName, String productId, String productToken, String accessToken, bool isSubscription	http.Response	Validate receipt for android.

Configuring in app purchase

• Please refer to Blog.
• Amazon Kindle Fire

Usage Guide

Android connect and endConnection

• You should start the billing service in android to use its funtionalities. We recommend you to use initConnection getter method in initState().

    /// start connection for android
    @override
    void initState() {
      super.initState();
      asyncInitState(); // async is not allowed on initState() directly
    }
  
    void asyncInitState() async {
      await FlutterInappPurchase.initConnection;
    }
  

• You should end the billing service in android when you are done with it. Otherwise it will be keep running in background. We recommend to use this feature in dispose().

    /// start connection for android
    @override
    void dispose() async{
      super.dispose();
      await FlutterInappPurchase.endConnection;
    }
  

Get IAP items

void getItems () async {
  List<IAPItem> items = await FlutterInappPurchase.getProducts(_productLists);
  for (var item in items) {
    print('${item.toString()}');
    this._items.add(item);
  }
}

Purchase Item

void purchase() async {
  PurchasedItem purchased = await FlutterInappPurchase.buyProduct(item.productId);
  print('purchased - ${purchased.toString()}');
}

Receipt validation

From 0.7.1, we support receipt validation. For Android, you need separate json file from the service account to get the access_token from google-apis, therefore it is impossible to implement serverless. You should have your own backend and get access_token. With access_token you can simply call validateReceiptAndroid method we implemented. Further reading is here. Currently, serverless receipt validation is possible using validateReceiptIos method. The first parameter, you should pass transactionReceipt which returns after buyProduct. The second parameter, you should pass whether this is test environment. If true, it will request to sandbox and false it will request to production.

validateReceipt() async {
  var receiptBody = {
    'receipt-data': purchased.transactionReceipt,
    'password': '******'
  };
  const result = await validateReceiptIos(receiptBody, false);
  console.log(result);
}

For further information, please refer to guide.

App Store initiated purchases

When the user starts an in-app purchase in the App Store, the transaction continues in your app, the product will then be added to a list that you can access through the method getAppStoreInitiatedProducts. This means you can decide how and when to continue the transaction. To continue the transaction simple use the standard purchase flow from this plugin.

void checkForAppStoreInitiatedProducts() async {
  List<IAPItem> appStoreProducts = await FlutterInappPurchase.getAppStoreInitiatedProducts(); // Get list of products
  if (appStoreProducts.length > 0) {
    _buyProduct(appStoreProducts.last); // Buy last product in the list
  }
}

Example

Below code is just a cp from example project. You can test this in real example project.

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final List<String>_productLists = Platform.isAndroid
      ? [
    'android.test.purchased',
    'point_1000',
    '5000_point',
    'android.test.canceled',
  ]
      : ['com.cooni.point1000','com.cooni.point5000'];

  String _platformVersion = 'Unknown';
  List<IAPItem> _items = [];

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    initPlatformState();
  }

  // Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
  Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
    String platformVersion;
    // Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
    try {
      platformVersion = await FlutterInappPurchase.platformVersion;
    } on PlatformException {
      platformVersion = 'Failed to get platform version.';
    }

    // initConnection
    var result = await FlutterInappPurchase.initConnection;
    print ('result: $result');

    // If the widget was removed from the tree while the asynchronous platform
    // message was in flight, we want to discard the reply rather than calling
    // setState to update our non-existent appearance.
    if (!mounted) return;

    setState(() {
      _platformVersion = platformVersion;
    });

    // refresh items for android
    String msg = await FlutterInappPurchase.consumeAllItems;
    print('consumeAllItems: $msg');
  }

  Future<Null> _buyProduct(IAPItem item) async {
    try {
      PurchasedItem purchased= await FlutterInappPurchase.buyProduct(item.productId);
      print('purchased - ${purchased.toString()}');
    } catch (error) {
      print('$error');
    }
  }

ProGuard

If you have eneabled proguard you will need to add the following rules to your proguard-rules.pro

#In app Purchase
-keep class com.amazon.** {*;}
-keep class com.dooboolab.** { *; }
-keep class com.android.vending.billing.**
-dontwarn com.amazon.**
-keepattributes *Annotation*

Q & A

Can I buy product right away skipping fetching products if I already know productId?

• You can in Android but not in ios. In ios you should always fetchProducts first. You can see more info here.

How do I validate receipt in ios?

• Official doc is here.

How do I validate receipt in android?

• Offical doc is here.
• I've developed this feature for other developers to contribute easily who are aware of these things. The doc says you can also get the accessToken via play console without any of your backend server. You can get this by following process.
  • Select your app > Services & APIs > "YOUR LICENSE KEY FOR THIS APPLICATION Base64-encoded RSA public key to include in your binary". reference.

Invalid productId in ios.

• Please try below and make sure you've done belows.
  • Steps
    1. Completed an effective "Agreements, Tax, and Banking."
    2. Setup sandbox testing account in "Users and Roles."
    3. Signed into iOS device with sandbox account.
    4. Set up three In-App Purchases with the following status: i. Ready to Submit ii. Missing Metadata iii. Waiting for Review
    5. Enable "In-App Purchase" in Xcode "Capabilities" and in Apple Developer -> "App ID" setting. Delete app / Restart device / Quit "store" related processes in Activity Monitor / Xcode Development Provisioning Profile -> Clean -> Build.

Help Maintenance

I've been maintaining quite many repos these days and burning out slowly. If you could help me cheer up, buying me a cup of coffee will make my life really happy and get much energy out of it.
