Background: 📢 announcement issue · discussion thread
Expo IAP is a powerful in-app purchase solution for Expo and React Native applications that conforms to the Open IAP specification. It provides a unified API for handling in-app purchases across iOS and Android platforms with comprehensive error handling and modern TypeScript support.
If you're shipping an app with expo-iap, we’d love to hear about it—please share your product and feedback in Who's using Expo IAP?. Community stories help us keep improving the ecosystem.
expo-iap provides AI-friendly documentation for Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT.

The expo-iap module has been migrated from react-native-iap. While we initially considered fully merging everything into react-native-iap, we ultimately decided to maintain the two libraries in parallel, each tailored to its own ecosystem.
react-native-iap→ a Nitro Modules–based implementation for React Native.expo-iap→ an Expo Module with tighter integration and smoother compatibility in the Expo ecosystem.
Both libraries will continue to be maintained in parallel going forward.

- Generated type-safe bindings — Swift, Kotlin, Dart, and GDScript from a single GraphQL schema
- Platform implementations — openiap-apple (StoreKit 2) and openiap-google (Play Billing 8.x)
- Verification profiles — Standardized receipt validation and purchase verification patterns
