Questions: Can I use StoreKit 2 API?

[Harween64]

Hello all,

Everything is in the title.

Is it possible to use StoreKit 2 API with Xamarin iOS or .Net 7?
If yes, how?
If no, is there any plan to enable this in the future?

Thank you

It looks like the StoreKit 2 API is Swift-only, and unfortunately we don't support Swift-only API yet.

As of today, the only way to use a swift library is via a proxy library, the general idea is described here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/platform/binding-swift/ basically you would need to expose the StoreKit 2 Apis you need via a Swift glue layer that exposes the method via the swift bridge header and then creating a C# binding project for this.

Like @dalexsoto said.

Take a look at my project, you can base on it and extend it based on your needs:
https://github.com/thefex/Xamarin.iOS.StoreKit2Sample

There is implementation of one method responsible of showing manage storekit subscriptions view.

You just add appropriate methods in Swift (via Xcode) marked with @objc attribute, then follow Readme - howto build xcframework, build bindings library and consume via nuget.

Take a note that asynchronous swift methods are crashing on runtime due to the following issue:
#18562
on simulator (it works on real device)

@thefex Thanks, this helped me to create a wrapper for some of their new storekit api https://github.com/taublast/AppoMobi.Xamarin.ExternalPurchaseLink, one could use that as another example too, iPhone and simulator are both supported. It's for a legacy Xamarin project while MAUI .Net version might be easier to bind.
