Promoted Iap

Promoted In-App Purchases Generator

Set up promoted In-App Purchases so your premium offerings appear directly on your App Store product page, in search results, and in editorial features.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks to "promote IAP" or "show purchase on product page"
• Mentions "promoted in-app purchase" or "App Store product page IAP"
• Wants subscription/IAP visible in App Store search results
• Asks about paymentQueue(_:shouldAddStorePayment:for:)
• Wants to handle purchases initiated from the App Store

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

• [ ] Check for existing StoreKit implementation
• [ ] Check deployment target (iOS 15+ for StoreKit 2)
• [ ] Look for existing IAP product definitions
• [ ] Check if paywall-generator was already used

2. Conflict Detection

Glob: **/*Promoted*.swift, **/*StorePayment*.swift
Grep: "shouldAddStorePayment" or "PurchaseIntent" or "promotedPurchase"

How Promoted IAP Works

• App Store Connect: Mark IAP products as "Promoted" with promotional image
• Product Page: Up to 20 promoted IAPs appear on your product page
• Search Results: Promoted IAPs can appear in search
• User Action: User taps "Buy" on App Store → your app opens to complete purchase
• Your App: Must handle the incoming purchase intent

Promoted IAP Display Order

• You control the order in App Store Connect
• Choose your most compelling IAP as the first promoted product
• Apple may also feature your IAPs in editorial content

Configuration Questions

Ask user via AskUserQuestion:

• What type of IAP to promote?
• Auto-renewable subscription
• Non-consumable (one-time unlock)
• Consumable (credits/tokens)

• How to handle App Store-initiated purchases?
• Show immediately (direct purchase)
• Show paywall first (let user see options before buying)
• Show onboarding then purchase (new users from App Store)

• Number of promoted products?
• Single product
• Multiple products (2-5)
• Full catalog (6+)

Generation Process

Step 1: Read Templates

Read templates.md for promoted IAP implementation code.

Step 2: Create Core Files

• PromotedPurchaseHandler.swift — Handle purchases initiated from App Store
• PromotedProductConfiguration.swift — Product definitions and promotional images specs
• PromotedPurchaseFlowView.swift — UI for completing promoted purchases in-app

Step 3: Determine File Location

- If Sources/Store/ exists → Sources/Store/Promoted/
- If Store/ exists → Store/Promoted/
- Otherwise → Store/Promoted/

Output Format

Files Created

Store/Promoted/
├── PromotedPurchaseHandler.swift        # App Store purchase handling
├── PromotedProductConfiguration.swift   # Product setup & image specs
└── PromotedPurchaseFlowView.swift       # In-app purchase completion UI

Integration Steps

Handle App Store-Initiated Purchases (StoreKit 2):

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
                .task {
                    // Listen for purchases initiated from App Store
                    for await purchaseIntent in PurchaseIntent.intents {
                        await PromotedPurchaseHandler.shared.handle(purchaseIntent)
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}

Complete the Purchase:

// PromotedPurchaseHandler determines the right flow:
// 1. Direct purchase (existing user, known product)
// 2. Paywall (show options first)
// 3. Onboarding (new user from App Store)

App Store Connect Setup

• Go to App Store Connect > Your App > In-App Purchases
• Select the IAP product
• Under "App Store Promotion":
• Upload promotional image (1024x1024, no alpha, no rounded corners)
• Set display order
• Enable promotion
• Repeat for each product you want to promote

Promotional Image Requirements

• Size: 1024 x 1024 pixels
• Format: PNG or JPEG, no transparency
• Content: Feature the product value, not just the app icon
• Text: Minimal — the product name appears separately
• Style: Match your app's visual identity

Testing Instructions

• StoreKit Configuration: Add promoted products to your .storekit file
• Test purchase flow: Simulate App Store-initiated purchase
• Test user states: New user, existing free user, existing subscriber
• Verify UI: Purchase completion view looks correct for each product type
