# Paywall Generator
Generate a complete StoreKit 2 subscription paywall with modern SwiftUI views, subscription status tracking, and proper purchase handling.
## When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks to "add subscriptions" or "add paywall"
- Mentions "in-app purchases" or "IAP"
- Wants "StoreKit 2" implementation
- Asks about "subscription management"
- Mentions "premium features" or "pro version"
## Pre-Generation Checks
### 1. Project Context Detection
- [ ] Check for existing StoreKit implementations
- [ ] Check deployment target (StoreKit 2 requires iOS 15+)
- [ ] Look for existing product IDs in codebase
- [ ] Identify source file locations
### 2. Conflict Detection
Search for existing StoreKit:
```
Glob: **/*Store*.swift, **/*Purchase*.swift, **/*Subscription*.swift
Grep: "import StoreKit" or "Product.products"
```
If found, ask user:
- Replace existing implementation?
- Extend with additional features?
## Apple Docs Reference
**Latest StoreKit Updates (iOS 18.4+):**
- `SubscriptionOfferView` - New SwiftUI view for merchandising subscriptions
- `subscriptionStatusTask` modifier for tracking subscription state
- `Transaction.currentEntitlements(for:)` - New API for entitlements
- `RenewalInfo` enhancements for expiration reasons
## Configuration Questions
Ask user via AskUserQuestion:
1. **Subscription tiers?** (multi-select)
- Monthly
- Yearly (with discount)
- Lifetime
- Weekly
2. **Features needed?**
- Free trial
- Family sharing
- Promotional offers
3. **UI style?**
- Full paywall screen
- Inline subscription view
- Both
## Generation Process
### Step 1: Create Core Files
Generate these files:
1. `StoreKitManager.swift` - Product loading and purchasing
2. `SubscriptionStatus.swift` - Status tracking
3. `PaywallView.swift` - Full paywall UI
4. `SubscriptionButton.swift` - Individual plan button
### Step 2: Create Configuration
- `Products.swift` - Product ID constants
### Step 3: Determine File Location
Check project structure:
- If `Sources/` exists → `Sources/Store/`
- If `App/` exists → `App/Store/`
- Otherwise → `Store/`
## Product ID Setup
### App Store Connect
1. Go to App Store Connect > Your App > Subscriptions
2. Create subscription group
3. Add subscription products with IDs like:
- `com.yourapp.subscription.monthly`
- `com.yourapp.subscription.yearly`
- `com.yourapp.subscription.lifetime`
### StoreKit Configuration (Testing)
Create `Products.storekit` for local testing:
1. File > New > File > StoreKit Configuration
2. Add products matching your IDs
3. Edit scheme > Options > StoreKit Configuration
## Output Format
After generation, provide:
### Files Created
```
Sources/Store/
├── StoreKitManager.swift # Product loading & purchasing
├── SubscriptionStatus.swift # Status enum & tracking
├── Products.swift # Product ID constants
└── Views/
├── PaywallView.swift # Full paywall screen
├── SubscriptionButton.swift # Plan selection button
└── SubscriptionOfferCard.swift # New iOS 18.4+ view
```
### Integration Steps
**App Entry Point:**
```swift
@main
struct MyApp: App {
@State private var subscriptionStatus: SubscriptionStatus = .unknown
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.environment(\.subscriptionStatus, subscriptionStatus)
.subscriptionStatusTask(for: "your.group.id") { statuses in
subscriptionStatus = SubscriptionStatus.from(statuses)
}
}
}
}
```
**Show Paywall:**
```swift
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var showPaywall = false
@Environment(\.subscriptionStatus) var status
var body: some View {
VStack {
if status != .subscribed {
Button("Upgrade to Pro") {
showPaywall = true
}
}
}
.sheet(isPresented: $showPaywall) {
PaywallView()
}
}
}
```
**New iOS 18.4+ SubscriptionOfferView:**
```swift
// Simple merchandising view
SubscriptionOfferView(productID: "com.app.subscription.monthly")
.prefersPromotionalIcon(true)
.subscriptionOfferViewDetailAction {
showPaywall = true
}
```
### Testing Instructions
1. **Create StoreKit Configuration:**
- File > New > StoreKit Configuration
- Add your products
2. **Edit Scheme:**
- Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme
- Options > StoreKit Configuration > Select your file
3. **Test Purchases:**
- Run in Simulator
- Use Transaction Manager (Debug > StoreKit > Transaction Manager)
4. **Test Scenarios:**
- Purchase flow
- Restore purchases
- Subscription expiration
- Renewal
