This project is a part of The SOOMLA Project which is a series of open source initiatives with a joint goal to help mobile game developers get better stores and more in-app purchases.

Haven't you always wanted an in-app purchase one liner that looks like this?!

C++

soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->buyItem("[itemId]");

Soomla.storeInventory.buyItem("[itemId]");

cocos2dx-store

February 4, 2014: Added support for js-bindings.

December 1, 2013: Android in-app billing has been updated to use Google's in-app billing version 3.

October 28, 2013: iOS server side verification is added. This feature is not activated by default. learn more

October 27, 2013: cocos2dx-store has been updated since its last version. Everything has been rewritten from scratch and is much more Cocos2d-x friendly. cocos2dx-store allows your Cocos2d-x game to use SOOMLA's in app purchasing services and storage. cocos2dx-store has also been updated to use the third version of our economy model: modelV3.

cocos2dx-store currently supports all Cocos2d-x 2.x versions. Support for version 3.x (alpha) is experimental.

The current virtual economy model is called modelV3. Want to learn more about it? Try these links:

The cocos2dx-store is the Cocos2d-x flavour of The SOOMLA Project. This project uses android-store and ios-store in order to provide game developers with in-app billing for their cocos2d-x projects.

If you also want to create a Storefront you can do that using SOOMLA's In-App Purchase Store Designer.

Example Project

There are example projects that show how to use cocos2dx-store:

C++: http://github.com/soomla/cocos2dx-store-example,

JS: http://github.com/soomla/cocos2dx-js-store-example.

The example projects are still under development but they already have some important aspects of the framework you can learn and implement in your application.

Getting Started

C++

As with all Cocos2d-x projects, you need to clone the Cocos2d-x framework from here or download it from the Cocos2d-x website.

Make sure the version you clone is supported by cocos2dx-store (the tag is the version).
Go into your cocos2d-x project and recursively clone cocos2dx-store into the extensions directory located at the root of your Cocos2d-x framework.
```
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:soomla/cocos2dx-store.git extensions/cocos2dx-store
```
We use a fork of the jansson library for json parsing, clone our fork into the external directory at the root of your framework.
```
$ git clone git@github.com:vedi/jansson.git external/jansson
```
Make sure to include the Soomla.h header whenever you use any of the cocos2dx-store functions:
```
#include "Soomla.h"
```
Create your own implementation of CCIStoreAssets that will represent the assets in your specific game (Refer to cocos2dx-store-example for an example.).
Initialize CCStoreController with your assets class, and a CCDictionary containing various parameters for it:
```
CCDictionary *storeParams = CCDictionary::create();
storeParams->
    setObject(CCString::create("ExampleSoomSecret"), "soomSec");
storeParams->
    setObject(CCString::create("ExamplePublicKey"), "androidPublicKey");
storeParams->
    setObject(CCString::create("ExampleCustomSecret"), "customSecret");
    
soomla::CCStoreController::createShared(YourStoreAssetsImplementation::create(), storeParams);
```
- Custom Secret - is an encryption secret you provide that will be used to secure your data.
- Public Key - is the public key given to you from Google. (iOS doesn't have a public key).
- Soom Sec - is a special secret SOOMLA uses to increase your data protection.
Choose both secrets wisely. You can't change them after you launch your game!

Initialize StoreController ONLY ONCE when your application loads.
You'll need an event handler in order to be notified about in-app purchasing related events. Refer to the Event Handling section for more information.

And that's it! You now have storage and in-app purchasing capabilities.

JS

As with all Cocos2d-x projects, you need to clone the Cocos2d-x framework from here or download it from the Cocos2d-x website.

Make sure the version you clone is supported by cocos2dx-store (the tag is the version).
Go into your cocos2d-x project and recursively clone cocos2dx-store into the extensions directory located at the root of your Cocos2d-x framework.
```
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:soomla/cocos2dx-store.git extensions/cocos2dx-store
```
We use a fork of the jansson library for json parsing, clone our fork into the external directory at the root of your framework.
```
$ git clone git@github.com:vedi/jansson.git external/jansson
```

#include "jsb_soomla.h"
...
sc->addRegisterCallback(register_jsb_soomla);

Make sure to include the soomla.js and undersore.js to start point of your application:

require("underscore.js"); require("soomla.js"); ```

Create your own implementation of Soomla.IStoreAssets that will represent the assets in your specific game (Refer to cocos2dx-js-store-example for an example.).
Initialize Soomla.StoreController with your assets class, and an object containing various parameters for it:
```
var assets = new MuffinRushAssets();
var storeParams = {
  soomSec: "ExampleSoomSecret",
  androidPublicKey: "ExamplePublicKey",
  customSecret: "ExampleCustomSecret"
};

Soomla.StoreController.createShared(assets, storeParams);
```
- Custom Secret - is an encryption secret you provide that will be used to secure your data.
- Public Key - is the public key given to you from Google. (iOS doesn't have a public key).
- Soom Sec - is a special secret SOOMLA uses to increase your data protection.
Choose both secrets wisely. You can't change them after you launch your game!

Initialize StoreController ONLY ONCE when your application loads.
You'll need an event handler in order to be notified about in-app purchasing related events. Refer to the Event Handling section for more information.

And that's it! You now have storage and in-app purchasing capabilities.

Instructions for iOS

In your XCode project, you'll need to add some folders in order to be able to build with cocos2dx-store:

ios folder this repo's root.
Soomla folder this repo's root.
SoomlaiOSStore folder from submodules/ios-store
for JS solution only: put soomla.js, underscore.js to Copy Bundle Resources section of your XCode project (to the same place, where other cocos2d-x js-files are put) .

Make sure you have these 3 Frameworks linked to your XCode project: Security, libsqlite3.0.dylib, StoreKit.

That's it! Now all you have to do is build your XCode project and run your game with cocos2dx-store.

Instructions for Android

If you're building your application for the Android platform, here are some instructions on how to integrate cocos2dx-store into your Android project:

Import the cocos2dx-store library into your project's Android.mk by adding the following lines in their appropriate places.

LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += cocos2dx_store_static        # add this line along with your other LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES

$(call import-module, extensions/cocos2dx-store/android/jni) # add this line at the end of the file, along with the other import-module calls

Add the following to your classpath:
- extensions/cocos2dx-store/android/src
- extensions/cocos2dx-store/submodules/android-store/SoomlaAndroidStore/src (the android-store submodule should be there because your cloned cocos2dx-store with the --recursive flag).
- extensions/cocos2dx-store/submodules/android-store/SoomlaAndroidStore/libs/square-otto-1.3.2.jar
You can do that in your IDE or use our script ./setup-android.sh if you prefer to build with ant. Please, put target as a param to the script, for example:
```
./setup-android.sh android-17
```
And after completing the script add dependencies to project.properties file of your project, adding the lines:
```
android.library.reference.2=../../../extensions/cocos2dx-store/android/
android.library.reference.3=../../../extensions/cocos2dx-store/submodules/android-store/SoomlaAndroidStore/
```

Update your manifest to include these permissions, SoomlaApp and IabActivity:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING"/>

<application ...
	       android:name="com.soomla.store.SoomlaApp">
    <activity android:name="com.soomla.store.StoreController$IabActivity"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>
</application>

In your main Cocos2dxActivity (The one your Cocos2d-x application runs in), call the following in the onCreateView method:

Cocos2dxGLSurfaceView glSurfaceView = new Cocos2dxGLSurfaceView(this);
StoreControllerBridge.setGLView(glSurfaceView);

SoomlaApp.setExternalContext(getApplicationContext());

These settings are required inorder to initialize the event handling bridge, and allow StoreController to initiate market purchases.

for JS solution only: add following lines to your build_native.sh file (to the section where resources are copied to 'assets'):

SOOMLA_JS_ROOT="$APP_ROOT/../../extensions/cocos2dx-store/js/"

# copy soomla js-file into assets' root
cp -f "$SOOMLA_JS_ROOT"/* "$APP_ANDROID_ROOT"/assets

That's it! Now all you have to do is run the build_native.sh script and you can begin using cocos2dx-store in your game.

(optional on Android) Starting IAB Service in background

If you have your own storefront implemented inside your game, it's recommended that you open the IAB Service in the background when the store opens and close it when the store is closed.

C++

// Start Iab Service
#if (CC_TARGET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
	CCStoreController::sharedStoreController()->startIabServiceInBg();
#endif

// Stop Iab Service
#if (CC_TARGET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
	CCStoreController::sharedStoreController()->stopIabServiceInBg();
#endif

// Start Iab Service
Soomla.StoreController.startIabServiceInBg();

// Stop Iab Service
Soomla.StoreController.stopIabServiceInBg();

Don't forget to close the Iab Service when your store is closed. You don't have to do this at all, this is just an optimization.

What's next? In App Purchasing.

C++

When we implemented modelV3, we were thinking about ways that people buy things inside apps. We figured out many ways you can let your users purchase items in your game and we designed the new modelV3 to support 2 of them: CCPurchaseWithMarket and CCPurchaseWithVirtualItem.

CCPurchaseWithMarket is a CCPurchaseType that allows users to purchase a CCVirtualItem with Google Play or the App Store.
CCPurchaseWithVirtualItem is a CCPurchaseType that lets your users purchase a CCVirtualItem with another CCVirtualItem. For example: Buying a sword with 100 gems.

In order to define the way your various virtual items are purchased, you'll need to create your implementation of CCIStoreAssets (the same one from step 5 in the Getting Started section above).

Here is an example:

Lets say you have a CCVirtualCurrencyPack you want to call TEN_COINS_PACK and a CCVirtualCurrency you want to call COIN_CURRENCY (TEN_COINS_PACK will hold 10 pieces of the currency COIN_CURRENCY):

#define COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID "coin_currency"
#define TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID       "ten_coin_pack"
#define TEN_COIN_PACK_PRODUCT_ID    "10_coins_pack"  // this is the product id from the developer console
	
CCVirtualCurrency *COIN_CURRENCY = CCVirtualCurrency::create(
	CCString::create("COIN_CURRECY"),
	CCString::create(""),
	CCString::create(COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID)
);
		
CCVirtualCurrencyPack *TEN_COIN_PACK = CCVirtualCurrencyPack::create(
	CCString::create("10 Coins"),
	CCString::create("A pack of 10 coins"),
	CCString::create(TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID),
	CCInteger::create(10),
	CCString::create(COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID),
	CCPurchaseWithMarket::create(CCString::create(TEN_COIN_PACK_PRODUCT_ID), CCDouble::create(0.99))
);

Now you can use CCStoreInventory to buy your new currency pack:

soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->buyItem(TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID);

And that's it! cocos2dx-store knows how to contact Google Play or the App Store for you and will redirect your users to the purchasing system to complete the transaction. Don't forget to subscribe to store events in order to get notified of successful or failed purchases (see Event Handling).

JS

When we implemented modelV3, we were thinking about ways that people buy things inside apps. We figured out many ways you can let your users purchase items in your game and we designed the new modelV3 to support 2 of them: Soomla.Models.PurchaseWithMarket and Soomla.Models.PurchaseWithVirtualItem.

Soomla.Models.PurchaseWithMarket is a Soomla.Models.PurchaseType that allows users to purchase a Soomla.Models.VirtualItem with Google Play or the App Store.
Soomla.Models.PurchaseWithVirtualItem is a Soomla.Models.PurchaseType that lets your users purchase a Soomla.Models.VirtualItem with another Soomla.Models.VirtualItem. For example: Buying a sword with 100 gems.

In order to define the way your various virtual items are purchased, you'll need to create your implementation of Soomla.IStoreAssets (the same one from step 5 in the Getting Started section above).

Here is an example:

Lets say you have a Soomla.Models.VirtualCurrencyPack you want to call TEN_COINS_PACK and a Soomla.Models.VirtualCurrency you want to call COIN_CURRENCY (TEN_COINS_PACK will hold 10 pieces of the currency COIN_CURRENCY):

  const COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID = "coin_currency";
  const TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID = "ten_coin_pack";
  const TEN_COIN_PACK_PRODUCT_ID = "10_coins_pack";  // this is the product id from the developer console
	
  var COIN_CURRENCY = Soomla.Models.VirtualCurrency.create({
    name: "COIN_CURRECY",
    description: "",
    itemId: COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID
  });

  var TEN_COIN_PACK = Soomla.Models.VirtualCurrencyPack.create({
    name: "10 Coins",
    description: "A pack of 10 coins",
    itemId: "TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID",
    currency_amount: 10,
    currency_itemId: COIN_CURRENCY_ITEM_ID,
    purchasableItem: Soomla.Models.PurchaseWithMarket.createWithMarketItem(TEN_COIN_PACK_PRODUCT_ID, 0.99)
  });

Now you can use Soomla.StoreInventory to buy your new currency pack:

  Soomla.storeInventory.buyItem(TEN_COIN_PACK_ITEM_ID);

Storage & Meta-Data

C++

CCStoreInventory and CCStoreInfo are important storage and metadata classes you should use when you want to perform all store operations:

CCStoreInventory is a convenience class to let you perform operations on CCVirtualCurrencies and CCVirtualGoods. Use it to fetch/change the balances of CCVirtualItems in your game (using their ItemIds!)
CCStoreInfo is where all meta data information about your specific game can be retrieved. It is initialized with your implementation of CCIStoreAssets and you can use it to retrieve information about your specific game.

The on-device storage is encrypted and kept in a SQLite database. SOOMLA has a cloud-based storage service (The SOOMLA Highway) that allows this SQLite to be synced to a cloud-based repository that you define.

Example Usages

Get all the CCVirtualCurrencies:

CCArray *vcArray = soomla::CCStoreInfo::sharedStoreInfo()->getVirtualCurrencies();

Give the user 10 pieces of a virtual currency with itemId "currency_coin":

soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->giveItem("currency_coin", 10);

Take 10 virtual goods with itemId "green_hat":

soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->takeItem("green_hat", 10);

Get the current balance of green hats (virtual goods with itemId "green_hat"):

int greenHatsBalance = soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->getItemBalance("green_hat");

JS

Soomla.StoreInventory and Soomla.StoreInfo are important storage and metadata classes you should use when you want to perform all store operations:

Soomla.StoreInventory is a convenience class to let you perform operations on Soomla.VirtualCurrencies and Soomla.Models.VirtualGoods. Use it to fetch/change the balances of Soomla.Models.VirtualItems in your game (using their ItemIds!)
Soomla.StoreInfo is where all meta data information about your specific game can be retrieved. It is initialized with your implementation of Soomla.IStoreAssets and you can use it to retrieve information about your specific game.

Example Usages

Get all the Soomla.VirtualCurrencies:

var vcArray = Soomla.storeInfo.getVirtualCurrencies();

Give the user 10 pieces of a virtual currency with itemId "currency_coin":
```
Soomla.storeInventory.giveItem("currency_coin", 10);
```

Take 10 virtual goods with itemId "green_hat":

Soomla.storeInventory.takeItem("green_hat", 10);

Get the current balance of green hats (virtual goods with itemId "green_hat"):
```
var greenHatsBalance = Soomla.storeInventory.getItemBalance("green_hat");
```

Event Handling

C++

SOOMLA lets you subscribe to store events, get notified and implement your own application specific behaviour to them.

Your behaviour is an addition to the default behaviour implemented by SOOMLA. You don't replace SOOMLA's behaviour.

The CCSoomla class is where all events go through. To handle various events, create your own event handler, a class that implements CCEventHandler, and add it to the CCSoomla class:

soomla::CCSoomla::sharedSoomla()->addEventHandler(yourEventHandler);

JS

SOOMLA lets you subscribe to store events, get notified and implement your own application specific behaviour to them.

Your behaviour is an addition to the default behaviour implemented by SOOMLA. You don't replace SOOMLA's behaviour.

The Soomla class is where all events go through. To handle various events, create your own event handler. You can inherit it from Soomla.EventHandler or create from scratch. After that add it to the Soomla class:

Soomla.addEventHandler(yourEventHandler);

Soomla.on(yourEventHandler);

Error Handling

C++

Since Cocos2d-x doesn't support exceptions, we use a different method to catch and work with exceptions on the native side. All functions that raise an exception on the native side have an additional CCSoomlaError** parameter to them. In order to know if an exception was raised, send a reference to CCSoomlaError* to the function, and inspect it after running.

For example, if I want to purchase an item with the ItemID huge_sword, and check if all went well after the purchase, I would call CCStoreController::buyItem(), like this:

soomla::CCSoomlaError *err;
soomla::CCStoreInventory::sharedStoreInventory()->buyItem("huge_sword", &err);
if (err != NULL) {
    int code = err->getCode();
    switch code {
        case SOOMLA_EXCEPTION_ITEM_NOT_FOUND:
            // itemNotFoundException was raised
            break;
        case SOOMLA_EXCEPTION_INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS:
            // insufficienFundsException was raised
            break;
        case SOOMLA_EXCEPTION_NOT_ENOUGH_GOODS:
            // notEnoughGoodsException was raised
            break;
    }
}

You can choose to handle each exception on its own, handle all three at once, or not handle the exceptions at all. The CCSoomlaError parameter is entirely optional, you can pass NULL instead if you do not wish to handle errors, but remember, error handling is your responsibility. cocos2dx-store doesn't do any external error handling (i.e. error handling that uses CCSoomlaError) for you.

JS

In js-bindings of cocos2d-x we retranslate exceptions from native side to SoomlaException exception class. In order to get specific information regarding exception you can check code and message fields of the exception.

For example, if I want to purchase an item with the ItemID huge_sword, and check if all went well after the purchase, I would call Soomla.storeController.buyItem(), like this:

try {
  Soomla.storeInventory.buyItem("huge_sword");
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof SoomlaException) {
    var code = err.code;
    switch (code) {
        case SoomlaException.CODE.ITEM_NOT_FOUND:
            // itemNotFoundException was raised
            break;
        case SoomlaException.CODE.INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS:
            // insufficienFundsException was raised
            break;
        case SoomlaException.CODE.NOT_ENOUGH_GOODS:
            // notEnoughGoodsException was raised
            break;
        case SoomlaException.CODE.OTHER:
            // other exception was raised
            break;
    }
  }
}

You can choose to handle each exception on its own, handle all three at once, or not handle the exceptions at all.

iOS Server Side Verification

As you probably know, fraud on IAP is pretty common. Hackers can crack their smartphones to think that a purchase is made when payment wasn't actually transferred to you. We want to help you with it so we created our verification server and we let you instantly use it through the framework. All you need to do is let cocos2dx-store know you want to verify purchases. You can do this by passing an extra parameter to CCStoreController for C++ or to Soomla.StoreController for JS:

C++

storeParams->setObject(CCBool::create(true), "SSV);
CCStoreController::createShared(assets, storeParams);

storeParams.SSV = true;
Soomla.StoreController.createShared(assets, storeParams);

Debugging

C++

You can enable debug logging in cocos2dx-store by setting SOOMLA_DEBUG in CCStoreUtils.h to true. Debug logging can also be enabled at build time by adding -DSOOMLA_DEBUG=1 to APP_CPPFLAGS in your Application.mk on Android, or by setting SOOMLA_DEBUG=1 in your Build Settings' Preprocessor Macros on iOS.

If you want to see debug messages from android-store, set the logDebug variable in com.soomla.store.StoreConfig to true.

To see debug messages on iOS, make sure you have also DEBUG=1 in your Build Settings' Preprocessor Macros (for Debug only).

JS

Additionally to debug logging of C++ part you can enable debug logging in cocos2dx-store by setting DEBUG in Soomla to true.
