Native In‑App Purchases (Apple StoreKit & Google Play Billing)

I understand the current limitations around StoreKit and Google Play Billing support in Base44.

However, I want to flag a serious concern and ask for clear guidance on next steps.

My app is a subscription‑based digital service, and requiring users to leave the app to complete a third‑party payment on a website will significantly hurt conversions and user retention. For a consumer app, this is not a practical long‑term solution.

I have a few important questions:

  1. Timeline & roadmap

    • By when do you expect Apple In‑App Purchase (StoreKit) support to be available in Base44 for iOS?

    • By when do you expect Google Play Billing support for Android?

    • Is there an internal roadmap or ETA that you can share?

  2. Product decision rationale

    • Payments are a core requirement for subscription apps. Could you help me understand why first‑class mobile payment support (Apple IAP & Google Play Billing) has not yet been implemented?

    • Is this a technical limitation, policy concern, or prioritization decision?

  3. Recommended short‑term path

    • Given Apple’s strict enforcement of Guideline 3.1.1, what is the most Apple‑safe wording and UX you recommend if payments must happen outside the app?

    • Have other Base44 customers successfully passed App Store review with this approach recently?
