Announcing new Pro Course: In-App Purchases!

It's frustrating — it feels like everyone expects every app, including yours, to be completely free and fully-functional out of the box, doesn't it?

Fortunately, it's very likely you have a lot of fans who want to support your work — and one of the best ways to reach that audience is through some form of in-app purchases!

Find out how to engage your paying audience in our new In-App Purchases course! Read on to hear more about it from course instructor Brian Moakley:

Why should I take your In-App Purchases course?

"In-App Purchases is likely the most important framework in iOS, if not the most important framework. With free-to-use downloads becoming the norm and the subscription model showing up in more and more apps, understanding the In-App Purchase framework is critical to becoming a successful iOS developer."

What surprised you about working with in-app purchases when making the course?

"With this course update, what truly surprised me was how easy it is now to implement in app purchases. From creating burner user accounts to flakey functionality on the sandbox, the In-App Purchase developer experience was filled with pain points. Now, things are much easier giving us the ability to even unit test our purchase flow."

Can you please share a cool in-app purchases tip with us?

"One cool aspect of In-App Purchases, not covered in this course, is content hosting, which allows you to upload your content to Apple servers. It's like having a top-of-the-line worldwide data center at your disposal, to serve up a smaller app binary with separate, super-fast in-app purchase downloads."

Is there anything else we should know about your In-App Purchases course?

"Remember, before implementing your IAP solutions in your app, make sure to consult App Store Review guidelines to learn if your implementation is easy allowed by Apple. In some cases, like loot boxes, you must adhere to certain rules such as displaying the odds of acquiring items."
