Module should also be able to run in iOS.
any updates on this one? thank you
Yesterday I startet the version 3 branch.
One new feature will be the iOS support.
Currently it is alpha and there is TypeScript support only as new "feature".
@mkloubert thank you for your effort
@mkloubert Thank you for the effort. Is version 3 ready now?
Hi @mkloubert in case you got stuck with iOS please let me know, I'd be happy to help you!
This would be great!
I have added you as collaborator of my repository here at GitHub and at npm ... that should make it easier for you.
Would be great if you do the iOS part, because I currently have no idea how to use the PayPal library in iOS.
Cool, give me some time to figure it all out :)
Do you have a specific branch you want to use for development? And is there anything already there?
And of course I'll look at the Android version so the client API's are similar.
Take all the time you need :-)
I have prepared a v3 branch where we should submit all commits until a stable release.
This has currently the same version as the master with some updates for the demo and support for TypeScript.
I see that there is currently no support for TypeScript, so I think that this is the part I should do. I will do this in the next hours.
@mkloubert Thanks!
Just to be sure, are you going to convert the current plugin to TS, or are you "only" adding a TS definition file to describe the API?
Perhaps I should create the iOS version of the plugin in TS anyway, there should be no problem making it coexist with an Android JS-version.
My idea is to create an index.ts file, that wraps the platform specific functions, which are implemented in separate modules, like Device.android.js or Device.ios.js.
So I do not need the huge definition file for Android, when I am coding.
Of cource, you can submit the TypeScript version directly, if this is easier for you.
Gotcha!
I finished implementation of index.ts and index.d.ts files.
I moved the Android code to Device.android.js module and also did a small update of the README.md.
The next thing I will do the next days, is to check if the Android code and the documentation needs to be improved.
@mkloubert I've been dipping my toe in the iOS part of this plugin using the iOS SDK but for some reason {N} doesn't want to generate metadata from their PayPal-iOS-SDK pod. Never happened to me before really.
While investigating the cause I found that the GitHub repo actually recommends developers to use BrainTree.
BrainTree seems to be the way forward when integrating PayPal and also offers other payment methods. So it seems to me it would be better to use the BrainTree SDK instead of the PayPal SDK.
Also confirmed {N} is able to generate typings of the BrainTree SDK so integration should be possible, and TS assistance will be provided.
I could try making it play nice with the current interface you defined, and if it works nicely we may later migrate Android as well (if it makes sense at all).
WDYT?
That's OK!
What is the status on this? There hasn't been any noticeable activity for several months. Anything I can do to help?
I'm interested in the BrainTree Drop In SDK.
Hello everyone,
I have started working for BrainTree Drop In SDK. You can have a look here: https://github.com/jibon57/nativescript-braintree
Thanks
I got a tangentially related question re the iOS implementation.
Does Apple allow for PayPal payments for apps in the app store???
I've got an app - that's free - but people can subscribe for continued use of the app.
Can I get PayPal to work with this - thereby avoiding the Apple tax.
Actually there's no need for my app to be in the app store - but I don't think one can
side-load ios apps.
Apple's guidelines are here: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#in-app-purchase
In short, no, you may not bypass in-app purchases by using PayPal.
Hi, any update for ios support?
