#MKStoreKit
An in-App Purchase framework for iOS 7.0+. MKStoreKit makes in-App Purchasing super simple by remembering your purchases, validating reciepts, and tracking virtual currencies (consumable purchases). Additionally, it keeps track of auto-renewable subscriptions and their expirationd dates. It couldn't be easier!
See the table below for details on MKStoreKit's requirements and compatibility.
| Version | Stage | Backwards Compatibility | iOS Version | OS X Version | Requires ARC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.0 | Beta 1 | MKStoreKit Version 6.0 | iOS 7.0 + | 10.10 + | YES |
MKStoreKit 6 is a complete revamp of the project and is not compatible with previous versions of MKStoreKit. Refactoring should however be fairly simple. See the Backwards Compatibility column to determine the earliest comaptible version with the current release.
MKStoreKit 6 is still in early beta (see the Stage column). Use with caution
The source code contains just three files:
MKStoreKit.hMKStoreKit.mMKStoreKitConfigs.plist
The MKStoreKit is a singleton class that takes care of everything.
Just drag these three files into the project.
You then have to initialize it by calling [[MKStoreKit sharedKit] startProductRequest] in your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. From then on, it does the magic. The MKStoreKit purchases, remembers and even handles remote validation of auto-renewable subscriptions.
- Super simple in app purchasing
- Built-in support for remembering your purchases
- Built-in receipt validation (remote)
- Built-in virtual currency manager
- Support for iOS 8 Deferred Purchases, "Ask to Buy"
- Works on iOS and Mac OS X
It's close to impossible to maintain a working sample code for MKStoreKit as iTunes connect deletes/deactivates un-submitted apps after 90 days. I'll instead be updating code snippets here.
###Config File Format MKStoreKit uses a config file, MKStoreKitConfigs.plist for managing your product identifiers. The config file is a Plist dictionary containing three keys, "Consumables", "Others" and "SharedSecret"
Consumables is the key where you provide a list of consumables in your app that should be managed as a virtual currency. Others is the key where you provide a list of in app purchasable products SharedSecret is the key where you provide the shared secret generated on your iTunesConnect account.
Here is a sample MKStoreKitConfigs.plist
###Initialization
Initialization is as simple as calling
[[MKStoreKit sharedKit] startProductRequest]A sample initialziation code that you can add to your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: is below
[[MKStoreKit sharedKit] startProductRequest];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:kMKStoreKitProductsAvailableNotification
object:nil
queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
NSLog(@"Products available: %@", [[MKStoreKit sharedKit] availableProducts]);
}];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:kMKStoreKitProductPurchasedNotification
object:nil
queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
NSLog(@"Purchased/Subscribed to product with id: %@", [note object]);
}];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:kMKStoreKitRestoredPurchasesNotification
object:nil
queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
NSLog(@"Restored Purchases");
}];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:kMKStoreKitRestoringPurchasesFailedNotification
object:nil
queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
NSLog(@"Failed restoring purchases with error: %@", [note object]);
}];###Checking Product Status You can check if a product was previously purchased using -isProductPurchased as shown below.
if ([[MKStoreKit sharedKit] isProductPurchased:productIdentifier]) {
// Unlock it
}You can check for a product's expiry date using -expiryDateForProduct as shown below.
if ([[MKStoreKit sharedKit] expiryDateForProduct:productIdentifier]) {
// Unlock it
}Warning: This method will return []NSNull null] for products that are not auto-renewing subscriptions.
###Making a Purchase To purchase a feature or to subscribe to a auto-renewing subscription, just call
[[MKStoreKit sharedKit] initiatePaymentRequestForProductWithIdentifier:productIdentifier];Observe kMKStoreKitProductPurchasedNotification to get notified when the purchase completes
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:kMKStoreKitProductPurchasedNotification
object:nil
queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
NSLog(@"Purchased/Subscribed to product with id: %@", [note object]);
NSLog(@"%@", [[MKStoreKit sharedKit] valueForKey:@"purchaseRecord"]);
}];It can't get simpler than this!
- Dynamically adding products to MKStoreKit from a remote resource
- Keychain support for products
- Support for hosted content
- Local receipt verification using ASN1C
- Non-renewing subscriptions
- Free subscriptions for Newsstand
These two features might work, but they are not tested yet.
- Sam Spencer for making MKStoreKit Mac compatible.
