How To Use In-App Purchase In IOS Objective C

IOS - In-App Purchase

In-App purchase is used to purchase additional content or upgrade features with respect to an application.

Steps Involved

Step 1 − In iTunes connect, ensure that you have a unique App ID and when we create the                                application update with the bundle ID and code signing in Xcode with corresponding                            provisioning profile.

Step 2 −
Create a new application and update application information. You can know more about                       this in apple's Add new apps documentation.

Step 3 − Add a new product for in-app purchase in Manage In-App Purchase of your application's                     page.

Step 4 − Ensure you setup the bank details for your application. This needs to be setup for In-App                     purchase to work. Also, create a test user account using Manage Users option in iTunes                       connect page of your app.

Step 5 − The next steps are related to handling code and creating UI for our In-App purchase.

Step 6 − Create a single view application and enter the bundle identifier is the identifier specified in                   iTunes connect.

Step 7 − Update the ViewController.xib

Step 8 − Create IBOutlets for the three labels and the button naming them as productTitleLabel,                         productDescriptionLabel, productPriceLabel and purchaseButton respectively.

Step 9 − Select your project file, then select targets and then add StoreKit.framework.

Step 10 − Update ViewController.h as follows −

        #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> 
        #import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h> 

       @interface ViewController : UIViewController<                                                                                                                                    SKProductsRequestDelegate,SKPaymentTransactionObserver> 
        {
            SKProductsRequest *productsRequest; NSArray *validProducts; 
            UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicatorView; 
            IBOutlet UILabel *productTitleLabel; 
            IBOutlet UILabel *productDescriptionLabel; 
            IBOutlet UILabel *productPriceLabel; 
            IBOutlet UIButton *purchaseButton; 
        }  

           - (void)fetchAvailableProducts; 
           - (BOOL)canMakePurchases; 
           - (void)purchaseMyProduct:(SKProduct*)product; 
           - (IBAction)purchase:(id)sender; 
  
     @end

Step 11 − Update ViewController.m as follows −

#import "ViewController.h" 

#define kTutorialPointProductID @"com.tutorialPoints.testApp.testProduct" 

 @interface ViewController () 
 @end 

 @implementation ViewController 

 - (void)viewDidLoad 
   {
       [super viewDidLoad]; 
       // Adding activity indicator activityIndicatorView = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]                                  initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];                                            activityIndicatorView.center = self.view.center; 
              [activityIndicatorView hidesWhenStopped];  
              [self.view addSubview:activityIndicatorView]; 
              [activityIndicatorView startAnimating]; 

     //Hide purchase button initially purchaseButton.hidden = YES; 
             [self fetchAvailableProducts]; 
   } 

 - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
  { 
       [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
       // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. 
  } 

 -(void)fetchAvailableProducts 
  { 
       NSSet *productIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObjects:kTutorialPointProductID,nil]; 
       productsRequest = [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:productIdentifiers];             productsRequest.delegate = self; [productsRequest start]; 
  } 

 - (BOOL)canMakePurchases 
 { 
      return [SKPaymentQueue canMakePayments]; 
 } 

 - (void)purchaseMyProduct:(SKProduct*)product 
  { 
      if ([self canMakePurchases]) 
       { 
             SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProduct:product]; 
             [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self]; 
             [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:payment]; 
       } 
  else 
      { 
           UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle: @"Purchases are disabled in                 your device" message:nil delegate: self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil]; 
           [alertView show]; 
      }
    } 

-(IBAction)purchase:(id)sender 
  { 
       [self purchaseMyProduct:[validProducts objectAtIndex:0]]; purchaseButton.enabled = NO;
  } 

 #pragma mark StoreKit Delegate  

-(void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray *)transactions 
     for (SKPaymentTransaction *transaction in transactions) 
      { 
         switch (transaction.transactionState) 
          { 
              case SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing: NSLog(@"Purchasing"); 
              break; 

              case SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchased: 
                      if ([transaction.payment.productIdentifier isEqualToString:kTutorialPointProductID]) 
                        { 
                             NSLog(@"Purchased "); 
                             UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle: @"Purchase is                                       completed successfully" message:nil delegate: self cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"                                         otherButtonTitles: nil]; 
                             [alertView show]; 
                        } 
                    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]; 
             break; 

             case SKPaymentTransactionStateRestored: NSLog(@"Restored "); 
                     [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]; 
             break; 

             case SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed: NSLog(@"Purchase failed "); 
             break;  

    default: 
    break; 
       } 
    } 

 -(void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response 
      SKProduct *validProduct = nil; int count = [response.products count]; 
      if (count>0) 
      { 
          validProducts = response.products; validProduct = [response.products objectAtIndex:0]; 
          if ([validProduct.productIdentifier isEqualToString:kTutorialPointProductID]) 
           { 
                 [productTitleLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"Product Title:                                             %@",validProduct.localisedTitle]];  
                 [productDescriptionLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"Product Desc:                                 %@",validProduct.localisedDescription]];
                 [productPriceLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"Product Price:                                           %@",validProduct.price]]; 
           } 
      } else 
          UIAlertView *tmp = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Not Available" message:@"No                  products to purchase" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Ok", nil]; 
          [tmp show]; 
     } 
       [activityIndicatorView stopAnimating]; purchaseButton.hidden = NO;
 } 

@end

Note

You have to update kTutorialPointProductID to the productID you have created for your In-App Purchase. You can add more than one product by updating the productIdentifiers's NSSet in fetchAvailableProducts. Similarly, handle the purchase related actions for product IDs you add.

Ensure you had logged out of your account in the settings screen. On clicking the Initiate Purchase, select Use Existing Apple ID. Enter your valid test account username and password. You will be shown the alert in a few seconds.

Once your product is purchased successfully, you will get the alert. You can see relevant code for updating the application features where we show alert.

React Native - Text Input

In this chapter, we will show you how to work with  TextInput  elements in React Native. The Home component will import and render inputs. App.js import React from 'react' ; import Inputs from './inputs.js' const App = () => { return ( < Inputs /> ) } export default App Inputs We will define the initial state. After defining the initial state, we will create the  handleEmail  and the  handlePassword  functions. These functions are used for updating state. The  login()  function will just alert the current value of the state. We will also add some other properties to text inputs to disable auto capitalisation, remove the bottom border on Android devices and set a placeholder. inputs.js import React , { Component } from 'react' import { View , Text , TouchableOpacity , TextInput , StyleSheet } from 'react-native' class Inputs extends Component { state = { ...

An introduction to Size Classes for Xcode 8

Introduction to Size Classes for Xcode In iOS 8, Apple introduced  size classes , a way to describe any device in any orientation. Size classes rely heavily on auto layout. Until iOS 8, you could escape auto layout. IN iOS8, Apple changed several UIKit classes to depend on size classes. Modal views, popovers, split views, and image assets directly use size classes to determine how to display an image. Identical code to present a popover on an iPad  causes a iPhone to present a modal view. Different Size Classes There are two sizes for size classes:  compact , and  regular . Sometime you’ll hear about any.  Any  is the generic size that works with anything. The default Xcode layout, is  width:any height:any . This layout is for all cases. The Horizontal and vertical dimensions are called  traits , and can be accessed in code from an instance of  UITraitCollection . The  compact  size descr...
