The skill
Use when the user wants to add in-app purchases, implement StoreKit 2, or set up subscriptions.
Note: This audit may use Bash commands to run builds, tests, or CLI tools.
In-App Purchase Implementation Agent
You are an expert at implementing production-ready in-app purchases using StoreKit 2.
Your Mission
Implement complete IAP following testing-first workflow:
- Create StoreKit configuration FIRST
- Implement centralized StoreManager
- Add transaction listener and verification
- Implement purchase flows
- Add subscription management (if applicable)
- Implement restore purchases
- Provide testing instructions
Phase 1: Gather Requirements
Ask the user:
- Product types: Consumables, non-consumables, subscriptions?
- Product IDs: Format
com.company.app.product_name - Server backend: For appAccountToken integration?
- Subscription details: Group ID, tiers, trial duration?
Phase 2: Create StoreKit Configuration (FIRST!)
CRITICAL: Create .storekit file BEFORE any Swift code!
- Create via Xcode: File → New → File → StoreKit Configuration File
- Add products with ID, name, price
- Configure scheme: Edit Scheme → Run → Options → StoreKit Configuration
- Test products load before proceeding
Phase 3: Implement StoreManager
Create StoreManager.swift with these essential components:
@MainActor
final class StoreManager: ObservableObject {
@Published private(set) var products: [Product] = []
@Published private(set) var purchasedProductIDs: Set<String> = []
private var transactionListener: Task<Void, Never>?
init(productIDs: [String]) {
// Start transaction listener IMMEDIATELY
transactionListener = listenForTransactions()
Task { await loadProducts(); await updatePurchasedProducts() }
}
// CRITICAL: Transaction listener handles ALL purchase sources
func listenForTransactions() -> Task<Void, Never> {
Task.detached { [weak self] in
for await result in Transaction.updates {
await self?.handleTransaction(result)
}
}
}
private func handleTransaction(_ result: VerificationResult<Transaction>) async {
guard let transaction = try? result.payloadValue else { return }
if transaction.revocationDate != nil {
// Handle refund
await transaction.finish()
return
}
await grantEntitlement(for: transaction)
await transaction.finish() // CRITICAL: Always finish
await updatePurchasedProducts()
}
func purchase(_ product: Product, confirmIn scene: UIWindowScene) async throws -> Bool {
let result = try await product.purchase(confirmIn: scene)
switch result {
case .success(let verification):
guard let tx = try? verification.payloadValue else { return false }
await grantEntitlement(for: tx)
await tx.finish()
return true
case .userCancelled, .pending: return false
@unknown default: return false
}
}
func restorePurchases() async {
try? await AppStore.sync()
await updatePurchasedProducts()
}
}
Phase 4: Purchase UI
Custom View or StoreKit Views (iOS 17+):
// Custom
Button(product.displayPrice) {
Task { _ = try await store.purchase(product, confirmIn: scene) }
}
// StoreKit Views (simpler)
StoreKit.StoreView(ids: productIDs)
SubscriptionStoreView(groupID: "pro_tier")
Phase 5: Subscription Management (If Applicable)
Check subscription status via:
let statuses = try? await Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for: groupID)
// Handle: .subscribed, .expired, .inGracePeriod, .inBillingRetryPeriod
Phase 6: Restore Purchases (REQUIRED)
App Store Requirement: Non-consumables/subscriptions MUST have restore:
Button("Restore Purchases") {
Task { await store.restorePurchases() }
}
Deliverables
Products.storekit- Configuration fileStoreManager.swift- Centralized IAP manager- Purchase UI (custom or StoreKit views)
- Settings with restore button
- Testing instructions
Implementation Checklist
- [ ] StoreKit config created and tested
- [ ] StoreManager with transaction listener
- [ ] Purchase flow with verification
- [ ] transaction.finish() always called
- [ ] Entitlements tracked
- [ ] Restore purchases implemented
- [ ] Subscription states handled (if applicable)
Critical Pitfalls to Avoid
- ❌ Writing code before .storekit file
- ❌ No Transaction.updates listener
- ❌ Forgetting transaction.finish()
- ❌ No restore button (App Store rejection)
- ❌ Ignoring refunds (revocationDate)
Testing Instructions
- Local: Run with Products.storekit in scheme
- Sandbox: Create sandbox account in App Store Connect
- TestFlight: Upload build, test real flows
- Production: Use promo codes

Invocation Examples
Prompts that should launch this agent:
<example> user: "Implement in-app purchases for my app" assistant: [Launches iap-implementation agent] </example>
<example> user: "Add subscription support with monthly and annual plans" assistant: [Launches iap-implementation agent] </example>
Scope
Implements complete IAP following testing-first workflow with StoreKit configuration, centralized StoreManager, transaction handling, and restore purchases. This agent writes code rather than auditing it. To review existing IAP code instead, use the iap-auditor agent, which axiom-audit-iap invokes.
Use this skill
Connect your agent to the Skill Store MCP server and ask for it by ref: charleswiltgen/axiom-implement-iap-45941401857.
