Apple Watch In-App Purchases

Apple released beta builds for Xcode 11.4, introducing updates for iOS, watchOS, and macOS, including significant changes to StoreKit with the addition of support for watchOS. The RevenueCat team promptly integrated these updates into their Purchases SDK to test the in-app purchase (IAP) flow on watchOS 6.2. The purchasing process on watchOS mirrors the familiar iOS experience but requires password entry, which can be cumbersome on the watch itself, though it may be streamlined via authentication methods similar to Apple Pay. While this development might not revolutionize app usage on the watch, it opens opportunities for apps with significant watch interactions to enhance user experience by facilitating upgrades directly on the device. RevenueCat aims to offer IAP support as soon as watchOS 6.2 is officially released.
