Add support for in app purchases to standalone apps on iOS and Android in the managed workflow
------------------------------
Status as of November 7, 2019:
This feature is definitely important for us in the medium to long-term but we need to build some more infrastructure before it's possible. We're currently rewriting our build service to make it capable of handling adding In-App Purchase support to apps but it's not there yet.
Hey guys, you're doing a great job with Expo, but when will we eventually get IAPs and subscriptions working properly without ejecting?
I understand that this is a big topic and that it’s something you’ve been working on for quite some time now but as this is clearly the most requested feature, it’d be great if you could at least tell us all what’s going on with it. I’ve seen comments from 2017 saying it’s a priority and it’s 2020 now.
Apologies if you have posted something but I can’t find anything on it. Transparency goes a long way, especially with something that’s literally stopping people using Expo due to not wanting to eject.
Is there anything the community can do? Thanks for all your hard work with Expo.
@Darryl Young: I have to agree with this. I really do appreciate the Expo team but the lack of in app purchases is really hurting the potential of my app making a profit. I could eject but I just know it's going to be a pain. If I knew even what year it was planned for it would be helpful. 2020 - worth waiting for. 2021 - I'll have to find another way and leave the Expo world.
any update on this...
How can we as a community help with this feature, knowing that a lot of us are developers and this is probably the most important missing feature of Expo?
@Kyle: If the developers were interested, they should start a "GoFundMe".. I bet we could raise some decent money.
@Kyle: it used to be in "Planned" status by end of 2019. It's been "In progress" since, hopefully it will be in the next SDK update.
Any update to use in app purchase on standalone??
Any timeline?
When you mean medium to long-term, do you mean 3~6 months, or 1~3 years?
Edit: Brent answered, apparently "medium to long-term" means 1~3 years, lol.
Another Edit: It will be almost 3 years since this feature request first appeared, and it tops the request list for years and here we are, still waiting. Just eject and use expo-in-app-purchase
@George William: Did you get any response on this George?
@Stavros Zavrakas: No.
@Brent Vatne Could you give us a better idea of what medium to long-term means? Thanks
@Allen Wood: it's beyond our current planning window and depends on the successful completion of other large projects. we can't promise anything concrete so if you need this now we suggest that you eject to a bare project rather than wait.
@Brent Vatne: Thank you
Any updates on this?

Hey guys, Does In app purchase work on standalone ? I checked to the documantation. There is a line that says us only active on bare.
👋 I know this has been asked multiple times in this thread, but is there any timeline for in-app using the managed workflow? We need to make some decisions about our revenue model, and would prefer to go with subscriptions for our app. We took a shot at ejecting and ran into other problems due to modules we were using that are only available in a managed workflow. Any feedback would be appreciated!
Expo would 🚀 if in-app were available! Thank you all!
@Ryan Vanbelkum: what we did, in the meantime, was launch a separate “pro” version of the app.
@José R. Morales: How has that worked out for you so far? Is it a separate code base? Have you thought about how you will transition the "pro" users over once in app purchases are available?
