OpenIAP
Open cross-platform IAP specification unifying types, error codes and purchase flows across iOS StoreKit and Google Play Billing.
Our Verdict
Useful cross-platform IAP spec for OSS library authors and integrators, but a spec is infrastructure, not a product.
Pros
- Open spec unifying IAP types across platforms
- Cuts per-platform conditional code for teams
- Neutral governance reduces vendor lock-in
- Adopted by multiple OSS IAP libraries
Cons
- Spec still maturing, breaking changes possible
- Not a product, you need an implementing library
- Adoption outside OSS libs is still early
- Apple and Google may change APIs faster than spec
