Add support for in app purchases to standalone apps on iOS and Android in the managed workflow
Status as of July 21, 2020:
The same as the previous status update applies here. We are still building the infrastructure that we need to be able to support IAPs in the managed workflow. If you need them, I recommend ejecting to the bare workflow. You can continue to use all of the Expo SDK packages after ejecting, including OTA updates and Notifications. https://docs.expo.io/workflow/customizing/
------------------------------
Status as of April 14, 2020:
IAP APIs in the managed workflow will not be available until we have completed support for native plugins in the managed workflow, which is part of our rewrite of the build service. You may want to consider using bare workflow for now! You can continue to use Updates and Notifications in bare React Native apps now as of SDK 37: https://blog.expo.io/expo-sdk-37-is-now-available-dd5770f066a6.
------------------------------
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.

I've ejected to the bare workflow to be able to integrate IAP but it truly isn't as simple as some people say. IAP without ejecting would make things a lot easier. Looking forward to this!

some timeline ? thanks
Euan Morgan
Really looking forward to this!
Marc Bourguignon
Really looking forward to this for our company! We're implementing our revenue streams, and are anticipating moving to in-app purchases due to Apple and Google laying down the hammer. This will help us immensely as a company. Thank you for your amazing work!

Is there any new update when this feature is planned? we definitely need it as soon as possible, we would rather avoid ejecting to the bare workflow.
Henrique Bruno
Dealing with Android Studio and Xcode and all of their installations really sucks. Only moving to default React Native because of the In App Purchases. Awaiting!

@Brent Vatne: I cannot begin to describe how happy it makes me to see this marked as "planned".
Robert Veloso
@Brent Vatne: I've been waiting for this feature for a long time, if possible to prioritize. It is the main resource for making profitable applications
Walsh Costigan
@Brent Vatne: Dare I ask... for another update?
Kar
@Brent Vatne: SDK 39?
Fatih Türker
@Brent Vatne: I think this should be prioritized. Think that you want to sell products, and you do not have payment module. I love expo, it has powerful functionalities and do not want to eject it. Just please, we need managed billing in expo.

@Fatih Türker @Kar @Walsh Costigan @Robert Veloso: i understand that you and many others want this feature, but we cannot deliver it to you without doing what i have outlined in the april 14th update in the description of this feature request. we'll provide updates on support for native plugins in managed workflow as we have them, but we're still building out the infrastructure and it's unlikely that this will be available before the end of the year. if you need IAPs then i advise that you use the bare workflow for now! :)
Dov Cohn
@Brent Vatne - Thanks for your update - You show this feature as In Progress, and your comment indicates that it is dependent on support for native plugins in the managed workflow. However I don't see that enhancement on the Roadmap. Is there timing on that enhancement?
Brent Vatne
@Dov Cohn: we're aiming to have that ready before the end of the year
Maxime Mezrahi
Hey @Brent Vatne, do you plan support for introductory prices?
It is only a few extra properties that should be returned and would be a great improvement! I currently cannot use expo-in-app-purchases because of this missing piece.
kulikalov
guys, what is the timeline? @Brent Vatne?
Brent Vatne
@kulikalov: i updated the original post yesterday and we do not have a timeline
