react-native-iap VS hackerweb-native-2

I did not find any examples on this, but Apple does not seem to have a javascript SDK for In app purchases(like google does) so this needs to be done natively, I guess you are more familiar with javascript than swift so you can start with a basic React Native project, add a webview component and use it to display your PWA, then use the react-native-iap package to handle apple in app payments and trigger this flow from your PWA like this

The first thing I did was clone the Github repository for react-native-iap as it contained all the working examples for Amazon Appstore, Google Play, and Apple Appstore.

What is your purpose with the action of opening the payment window? Do you just want to show the cards, or is the user buying a product, or is it for something in the app? The react-native-payment has not seen any updates the past 2 years… I would skip this package for usage. You could use something like https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native if you like to use stripe as a payment provider. Or for in app purchases I use https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap So it depends on want you want to accomplish and what kind of payment provider you want to use. Good luck 💪🏽

I've been working on this side project using react-native & firebase and I wanted to add In-App payments to it so users can buy "coins" inside the app, seems like the best way to do so is to use react-native-iap. I read through the documentation and it's clear to me how it works, but I still have some doubts.

a lot easier and faster to implement. https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap

Great, the more research into it the more I am leaning towards using https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap. Good to hear that you've had no issues with that library.

Dunno if it's the "standard", but when I was implementing IAP, this was the only one I could find that actually 1/2 way worked. https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap

You have to use in-app purchases directly from Apple (but given our size we are well within the new 15% bracket) . There is a great library for react-native to handle in-app purchases. Our current implementation is serverless, but we'll move to something more structured if the app gains enough momentum.

Nice to see hackerweb on the list :)

A little self-promo here, I just released a new V2 of HackerWeb for iOS https://apps.apple.com/app/id1084209377 - it's still built with React Native, open-sourced https://github.com/cheeaun/hackerweb-native-2 with a really nice UI that I've designed, especially for comment threads.

It'll be free until end of the year. Cheers.

As far as customization goes, I am pretty positive it shouldn't be that hard. Take a look at u/cheeaun's awesome HackerWeb v2 codebase. He made a custom header work flawlessly on his StoryScreen.
