Expo In-App Purchase Tutorial
Blog post from RevenueCat
RevenueCat has enhanced its integration with Expo, simplifying the process for developers to monetize React Native apps by supporting the Expo managed workflow, which previously lacked compatibility. The collaboration enables developers to use RevenueCat's react-native-purchases library to facilitate cross-platform in-app purchases and subscriptions without dealing with native complexities, as Expo abstracts the intricacies of Android and iOS builds into a JavaScript/TypeScript environment. Developers can choose between Expo's bare or managed workflows, with the managed option now accommodating RevenueCat functionalities thanks to Expo's recent updates in supporting in-app payments and permissions. The integration process involves setting up a project with Expo CLI, configuring RevenueCat products, and utilizing Expo's EAS tool for building native binaries, thereby streamlining app deployment and testing across platforms. This partnership aims to enhance the developer experience by minimizing technical hurdles, thus allowing more focus on app development and monetization.
