Summary

In-app purchases allow mobile apps to generate revenue through subscriptions or one-time payments for unlocking features. A comprehensive guide for implementing in-app purchases in a React Native app involves both frontend and backend processes. The tutorial outlines setting up the React Native environment and PHP/Laravel for the backend to verify purchases and update user data. It details prerequisites such as developer accounts for Google Play and Apple, and necessary installations for navigation and secure storage. The guide also covers setting up a subscription-based app with clear instructions for both Android and iOS platforms, including Google Cloud PubSub for real-time notifications and Apple’s receipt verification. The backend processes involve user authentication and subscription management with Laravel, handling subscription notifications, and updating the database. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of testing and suggests further enhancements such as handling subscription restorations and server notifications for iOS.
