We're in the process of releasing a new version of the framework, entirely re-written in Swift ๐. The new framework is called RevenueCat.framework
. It's currently in Release Candidate status. If you don't want to stick that close to the bleeding edge, you should use Purchases.framework
, which is available in purchases-ios v3.
- See our Migration guide
Purchases and RevenueCat are clients for the RevenueCat subscription and purchase tracking system.
Purchases is the currently supported, production-ready, open source framework that provides a wrapper around StoreKit
and the RevenueCat backend to make implementing in-app subscriptions in Swift
or Objective-C
easy - receipt validation and status tracking included!
RevenueCat is our next big release (what we've been calling Purchases V4). It is a rename of Purchases
to RevenueCat
, and now, 100% Swift
(while maintaining Objective-C
compatibility). It contains all the same functionality (and almost exactly the same API) as Purchases
. It's not a brand-new framework, but rather, a migration of the ObjC bits over to Swift with improved nullability, various bug fixes, and some new features. You can see what's changed in the API updates doc.
Are you here because you saw a build warning about being on the RC?
If you're cool being in the RC, there's nothing more for you to do ๐ If you think you've made a mistake:
- First, you'll need to remove the ReveneCat package from your project.
- Next, re-add it, but make sure you update the package's repo rules to use
3.0.0 < 4.0.0
- You need to use
Purchases
pod instead ofRevenueCat
- You need to use
github "RevenueCat/purchases-ios" ~> 3.12
in yourCartfile
- You'll want to check out one of the
3.x
Purchases.framework tags.
Once you revert to version 3 of the framework you'll need to do a reverse migration. While not explicitly outlined in our API updates doc. You can see the differences between v3 and V4. The changes are mostly naming updates, so don't worry about having to refactor things beyond that.
