Additional Details

Renamed to VpnHood.AppLib.Stores.AppStore.Native: VpnHood package ids now name the store instead of starting with an OS. The StoreKit bridge is unchanged; this id receives no further updates.

The owner has unlisted this package. This could mean that the package is deprecated, has security vulnerabilities or shouldn't be used anymore.
dotnet add package VpnHood.AppLib.Ios.StoreKitNative --version 8.0.4
                    
NuGet\Install-Package VpnHood.AppLib.Ios.StoreKitNative -Version 8.0.4
                    
This command is intended to be used within the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio, as it uses the NuGet module's version of Install-Package.

VpnHood.AppLib.Ios.StoreKitNative

StoreKit 2 for .NET iOS, self-contained in one NuGet:

  • VpnHoodStoreKit.xcframework — a tiny Swift facade exposing StoreKit 2's Swift-async API over a C ABI (@_cdecl functions + JSON strings + one completion callback). Prebuilt and committed, so consumers never need a Swift toolchain.
  • The C# binding — NativeStoreKitBridge (P/Invoke over __Internal), the IStoreKitBridge interface, and the StoreKitProduct / StoreKitPurchase DTOs.

The two sides are a matched pair: change the contract in both or not at all. That is why they live in the same repository and ship as one atomically versioned package.

C function StoreKit 2
vhsk_load_products Product.products(for:) + intro-offer eligibility
vhsk_purchase product.purchase(options: [.appAccountToken(uuid)])
vhsk_current_entitlement Transaction.currentEntitlements (newest)
vhsk_show_manage_subscriptions AppStore.showManageSubscriptions(in: scene)

Why a facade?

Microsoft.iOS does not bind StoreKit 2's Swift-async API. This package is the documented seam: plain C functions taking/returning JSON, completion via a C callback, statically linked into the app binary (DllImport "__Internal").

Usage

<PackageReference Include="VpnHood.AppLib.Ios.StoreKitNative" Version="x.y.z" />
IStoreKitBridge bridge = new NativeStoreKitBridge();
var products = await bridge.LoadProducts(["my.product.id"], cancellationToken);

The xcframework is embedded in the NuGet and linked into the main executable automatically; no NativeReference is needed in the consuming project. Requires net11.0-ios, minimum OS version 15.0.

Building

Day-to-day (C#-only changes) needs no Mac — the xcframework is committed.

Rebuilding the native facade (only when StoreKitBridge.swift changes) needs a Mac with Xcode 15+, or the build-xcframework GitHub workflow:

cd VpnHood.AppLib.Ios.StoreKitNative/swift && ./build-xcframework.sh

See swift/README.md for design notes.

Publishing

Every push to main bumps pub/PubVersion.json, packs, and publishes to nuget.org (.github/workflows/publish-nuget.yml). Consumers pin an exact version and upgrade deliberately — the package intentionally changes rarely.
