Hey everybody what's going on and welcome to the in-app purchase target topic focusing specifically
on auto renewing subscriptions.
Now before you dive into the course I wanted to just show you a brief demo of the app you're going to
build.
I want to show you what it does how it works.
All that stuff.
So let's go ahead and let's just take a look.
I have my phone up here in quick time.
I'm using my physical device which by the way that's a requirement for this course that you have access
to a physical iPhone to test these purchases especially subscriptions.
The simulator is inconsistent slash doesn't really work at all for in-app purchases.
And so we're going to you're going to need a physical device plugged in to do this.
So let's take a look.
If you tap on a cell it pulls open a controller with a banner add the ability to buy a certain item
and let me put in my password here.
It's the same password I use for all my test accounts.
And basically you can buy that item and teaching your purchase was successful.
You can also for 99 cents.
Hide the ads and then they're permanently hidden.
You can go and close that.
And if you tap on the question mark you can restore in-app purchases you've already made.
But my favorite part is subscriptions so you can notice on the bottom here there's a label that says
subscription expired the red label right here.
And if you go ahead and select the green dollar sign button you'll see it says subscribe to meal plan.
This subscription will automatically renew every month for forty nine ninety nine.
So if I click continue I confirm my subscription when I press OK watch what happens.
And look at that you can see the UI changes right.
The UI has a gray background the button or that the label is now green.
It says subscription valid.
If I go into a cell the ads are gone that's a perk of being a subscriber.
And that's that's it guys that's that's what our subscription can do.
Now this of course is a really simple example.
And in a more advanced app you might want to set so that they can order food for free or not free.
But as a part of their subscription one meal every day and every 24 hours they could reorder another
meal any time throughout the day that would be something you could do.
But this is basically it guys.
After five minutes by the way the screen will turn white.
The text will turn red and say subscription expired.
And that's basically when it expires on its own basically assuming that I signed up for one month and
I you know ran out of money or it didn't work to keep going and so the cool thing is that as long as
you can pay from iTunes the subscription will remain valid.
Now canceling the subscription we'll talk about that later on but this is the app guys this is what
you're going to build.
It's pretty cool.
So let's go ahead and let's head over to the next video where we're basically going to dive in to just
what this app is about.
We're going to take a look at the starter project and just kind of poke around to see you know how it
works and how it will help us to make this a much faster process of learning to renewing subscriptions.
So let's head over to the next video now.
