This is the content I want to see!!!

[@CodeWithChris]

Yay, awesome! :-) -Arthur

[@Shqtucke]

Yes, I would love to see how you built it...

[@CodeWithChris]

Stay tuned, Shawn! Thanks for the support! :-) -Arthur

[@graffitiplanet283]

be great to see how you built the meditation app Chris, with the audio samples and being able to purchase the full audio track. Thanks for all your great tutorials!

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for your suggestion and support! We appreciate you! :-) -Arthur

[@Steven-gq4dj]

If you get an error when trying to install the pods and you are on an apple silicone machine try opening terminal with rosetta 2. It fixed the issue for me

[@CodeWithChris]

Hi Steven, thanks for sharing! - Pat

[@nofx714]

Hello Chris, Id really like to see how you made that app layout in the future!

[@CodeWithChris]

Stay tuned, thanks for watching! :-) -Arthur

[@williammooney3389]

Brilliant vid. I would like to see how you built the app too.

[@CodeWithChris]

We will work on it, thanks for watching, William! :-) -Arthur

[@alexanderbetanzos5690]

Excellent video, Cris, could you explain in a video how to make in-app payments but with no consumables? Congratulations, as always good content

[@CodeWithChris]

Hey Alexander, could tell me a bit more? This video went through non-consumable in app purchase which sounds like what you need?

[@CodeWithChris]

Thank you for watching and for you kind words :)

[@danno5645]

Great video! Super helpful! I’d love to see how to build out the whole meditation app with SwiftUI. Showing how to integrate the data with a local Json file would be super helpful as well. My goal is to build a business around my app idea, so being able to monetize it with something like RevenueCat is key. Most of my app idea is built out in SwiftUI. Getting RevenueCat working, and having it work with my data in my local Json file is where I have been stuck. I’m going to go through this video again now that I have finished it, and try and get the features added to my app. I’m really excited to see additional videos on this subject and again I would love to see how to build the entire meditation app! Thanks so much!

[@danno5645]

Also, one question. Does the app delegate not have to be added back in on the “app” file?

[@CodeWithChris]

"Hello, since its. SwiftUI theres no ""appdelegate"" file,, that is why in the video we added an Init method in order to simulate an ""appdelegate"" file run - Francis"

[@kentiew7]

Can you show us how to build this app from the beginning?thanks

[@CodeWithChris]

We'll do our best, thank you for your support! :-) -Arthur

[@onboardwithpaul]

[@eumakapp3221]

Do you have any plans to make paid full courses on “in-app purchases with SwiftUI”? If you make it, I really want to take it.

[@CodeWithChris]

Hello, thanks for your suggestion! Kindly post it here so that it gets properly documented: app.productstash.io/codewithchris#/ideas -Arthur

[@mjoctavio3730]

Thanks Chris! Great Tutorial as always. Btw, "import Purchases" is now changed to "import RevenueCat" in version 4

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for the info and thank you for watching! - Pat

[@chrometaweb]

Hi chris! where do I find the code at 23:51 and so on? Also, would like a tutorial on this before making the purchases video please, Thank you

[@enricobansemer3670]

Good instruction, thank you. Please put your portrait in lower left corner, there is nothing important in Xcode. Your portrait overlaps in much of your videos important part of code. For a non-English beginner it is difficult to follow (e.g. at 27:30). And yes, its too much ads.

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for your valuable feedback, Enrico! :-) -Arthur

[@eumakapp3221]

Kris! Thank you for the good lecture. Maybe, I think this lecture seems starting from the middle part. If I take this "Courses", can I study the previous lecture?

[@CodeWithChris]

Hello, best if you start here so that everything will flow logically: codewithchris.com/start -Arthur

[@adamrohr4085]

How does the app remember if the user have purchased something after restarting it? Will it do that automatically or do you have to do something for it to remember? Kinda new to swift :/

[@CodeWithChris]

"Hello, you can use the revenue cat API to be able to query it everytime if the user has made a purchase.. or you could save it locally using a database like CoreData,, or you can even save it in as simple as UserDefaults - Francis"

[@water2800]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@CodeWithChris]

Great to know. Thank you so much! -Arthur

Please make a video on how you made this app

[@CodeWithChris]

Awesome, Derrick! We'll do our best! :-) -Arthur

[@viksviks7070]

Hi Chris, mind-blowing video, exactly what i searched for! One question though. Could you share an example how to implement the restore purchase method, when the user has changed his phone for example.Thank you very much.

[@CodeWithChris]

"Hello, sadly we are done with this video series but ill put in note if ever it gets revisited,. i suggest to check official documentation for now or ask revenuecat support for help on the right direction - Francis"

[@chris_bennett]

You mentioned that, because this is a demo, you update the dictionary to store the fact that the user has made the in-app purchase. How would one go about doing that in an app designed to be sold on the App Store?

[@CodeWithChris]

Hello, if its a real app then it is advisable to save the data to a database, might i suggest a cloud database like firebase? here is a tutorial its a bit outdated in terms of installing but the core is the same kzbin.info/aero/PLMRqhzcHGw1ZsFRLAWa_Axx7daXteynjh - Francis

[@jordacheh4076]

please make or show us how to build the whole app thanks

[@CodeWithChris]

Hey there! We have a video for that :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ_Me5iXosh8i7c&lc= - Pat

[@Mahadev-x7u]

Great video.... Thank you Chris

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks as well, Andrej! :-) -Arthur

[@ricksciorra220]

I would love to see how you built it.

[@CodeWithChris]

Stay tuned, Rick! :-) Thanks for watching. -Arthur

[@LukasLukas-kr7oy]

One question: Is the purchase saved when I close the app and restart it?

[@Greenstonemovies]

In this model not, because the app doesn't persistently store the purchase data with e.g. Core Data. It is only saved in a dictionary variable, which gets re-initialized every time the app is run. So to "save the purchase" you would have to persistently store the purchase with UserDefaults or Core Data. Hopt it helps :)

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for helping each other out! Keep on learning and having fun! :-) -Arthur

[@LukasLukas-kr7oy]

Thanks

[@johnpill1]

Hi Chris, I’m planning on building my first proper app soon with a subscription. Do you think you should start by adding the subscription functionality at the start of the project, or could you build the whole app then add the subscription functionality in right at the end by adding an initial login type screen and then building out a sort of check before opening the app?

[@CodeWithChris]

Hi John! You can post this on our CodeCrew forum codecrew.codewithchris.com and have our tech support staff assist you. Thank you! - Pat

[@gordonhaviland7551]

Chris I am new how to integrate pay view controller with my main app view controller Like it is just separate view controller if the customer paid it will go to my main story board directly or need some links Thanks

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks Chris, super helpful! Any chance you can share the source code with us? Would love to dive deeper into your logic.

[@Autruo]

Hi bro, I have an e-learning website that uses third party payment option, at the moment my app is been rejected on a ground of In-app purchase, please how can I link the third party merchant payment with apple in-app purchase, "I mean when I click on pay it should pop up the IAP mechanism" Thanks

[@CodeWithChris]

"Hello, i think you should use apple's own in-app purchase then not your old one,, try looking at storekit if it helps - Francis"

[@kaipohl4819]

Hey Chris, enjoyed this one as well as the other one on in-app purchases you did earlier. Thanks a million!! Quick question, at around 23:00 you talk about using an init function in your xxxApp.swift file to initialise the RevenueCat capability. Instead of this I put the relevant Purchase method calls into an onAppear attached to my main ContentView that is called in the WindowGroup closure of the body. This seems to work too but I am wondering if there could be a problem with this? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@CodeWithChris]

Hello, should be fine but "willAppear" will be called again once you change screen and then go back to it, so it doesn't only run "once" unlike when you do it at viewDidLoad() which is the "init" of the viewcontroller - Francis

I just spent hours trying to figure out why "import Purchases" wasn't working. It's because it has changed to "import RevenueCat". Just to save others some time

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for this helpful tip! :) -Arthur

[@haliskara2879]

you should write everything on video or you should share your source code i did not get anything from this absolute mess

[@CodeWithChris]

Thanks for your feedback!

agreed

[@RobertHolzapfel]

Sorry, but the number of ads is too much, a torture ... stopped after three, when I saw there is even more ... end this subscription, sorry.

Thanks for the feedback!
