Notice

The expo-iap module has been migrated from react-native-iap. While we initially considered fully merging everything into react-native-iap, we ultimately decided to maintain the two libraries in parallel, each tailored to its own ecosystem.

• react-native-iap → a Nitro Modules–based implementation for React Native.
• expo-iap → an Expo Module with tighter integration and smoother compatibility in the Expo ecosystem.

Both libraries will continue to be maintained in parallel going forward.

📖 See the Future Roadmap and Discussion for more details.
