Installation

ExpoKit projects of version 33 or higher can successfully use react-native-purchases. If you haven't upgraded, you can follow the instructions here to upgrade.

❗️ If you're planning on ejecting from Expo, upgrade your expo version first, THEN eject. It'll save you a whole lot of hassle. ❗️

1. Add the library to the project

$ npm install react-native-purchases --save

or

$ yarn add react-native-purchases

2. Link library to the project

$ react-native link react-native-purchases

Additional iOS Setup

If your project uses Cocoapods

If your project already uses Cocoapods to install iOS dependencies, common in ExpoKit projects, linking the library should have added it to the podfile. If it hasn't, add the following to your project's podfile to reference the library from your node_modules folder:

pod 'RNPurchases', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-purchases'
    :inhibit_warnings => true

In your ios folder, run pod install. If you've just upgraded ExpoKit, you might need to upgrade cocoapods to the newest version: sudo gem install cocoapods.

Migrating from manual installation (if your project doesn't use CocoapodsCreate)

Remove the Framework Reference from your project
  1. Remove Purchases.framework and PurchasesHybridCommon.framework from the libraries section of the project.
Remove iOS Frameworks to Embedded Binaries
  1. In Xcode, in project manager, select your app target.
  2. Select the general tab
  3. Look for Purchases.framework and PurchasesHybridCommon.framework in the Embedded Binaries section and remove them.

Remove $(PROJECT_DIR)/../node_modules/react-native-purchases/ios from Framework Search paths in build settings

Remove Strip Frameworks Phase

During the old manual installation instructions, now deprecated, we indicated to add a build phase to strip fat frameworks.

  1. In Xcode, in project manager, select your app target.
  2. Open the Build Phases tab
  3. Remove the added Strip Frameworks phase
  4. Clean Derived Data
Link static library

The react-native link command should have added the libRNPurchases.a library to the Linked Frameworks and Libraries section of your app target. If it hasn't add it like this:
