SKHelper

SKHelper is a new (September, 2024), lightweight Swift package that enables developers to easily add in-app purchase and subscription functionaility to their SwiftUI-based apps.

Designed to be an easier-to-use refactoring of my StoreHelper package, it makes use of Apple's StoreKit Views to provide a standard and easily customizable UI.

• Note that SKHelper requires Xcode 16, iOS 17+ and macOS 14.6+
• Support for consumable transactions requires iOS 18+ and macOS 15+.

Check out the Quick Start Tutorial to get a fast overview of how things work.
