InAppPurchase control

[Shawn91]

It seems we currently can't turn a flet app into an ios/android app.

When it is possible to do so, will flet support in app purchase directly without requiring developers to know flutter?

If the answer is yes, is there a timeline for it?

Many thanks to the developing team's great work.

I'm also interested in this feature, and I'd like to contribute it because that's something I'll really need in a near future. I looked at the contributor guidelines, but it does not really covers how to add something on the Dart/Flutter side and how to mirror it in Flet. If there is some code somewhere (like another integration) that I could use to get inspiration, I would probably be able to copy/paste my way through it.

Solution to this seems to be only for mobile and MacOS, as per the first link below

It sure reads

This plugin supports in-app purchases (IAP) through an underlying store, which can be the App Store (on iOS and macOS) or Google Play (on Android)."

Or am I missing something? 😅

To clarify: I'm building mobile apps for iOS and Android. I don't think it would be a waste of time to include IAP in Flet at this stage, because I don't think it will automagically happen when Flet goes mobile, since it's not a hard requirement to have it implemented before we can actually build mobile packages. But for sure it will become a very demanded feature right afterwards.

If @FeodorFitsner has it already on the roadmap for the, then I agree they will probably implement it more efficiently than me, and I'll wait.
Otherwise, I'm volunteering to implement the feature already now, because I don't have much alternatives anyway, I can't distribute my apps since they rely on subscriptions, threfore will be blocked by both app stores until they have IAP set up. Also, I feel if I can take a bit of work off @FeodorFitsner shoulders then they can focus on other stuff that matters 👍

Im currently interested on this topic...since I'm developing a flet app and I plan to use app purchase and subscriptions for both android and IOS
