Are there any plans for an official Capacitor plugin?
I’m using Ionic with Capacitor.
The RevenueCat documentation recommends using a cordova plugin, but Ionic has been in the process of migrating away from Capacitor for the past few years, and this is now the only Cordova plugin in my app.
There’s already a capacitor plugin on github but I was wondering if there are any plans to release an official Capacitor plugin as well.

Hi @Undisconnected, release 8.0.0 only updates the Capacitor version to v6, and those release notes don’t indicate an increase in in min deployment target but a requirement in xcode version. You might need to update your xcode as well? Also, it might be helpful if you can post your Podfile to try to reproduce.
Ok so I manage to reinstall the version that was working for my app before, and everything works fine again. ("@revenuecat/purchases-capacitor": "^7.5.10"). I just had to force it using the --force with npm.
The minimum version is iOS 13.0 in xCode.
Are you suppose to do anything about Pods when you change version of the plugin?
Could you let us know your minimum version in those places?
I just saw that you guys released the version 8.0.0 in prod.Si I installed this one instead of the beta and have the same problem.
I need to do a release tomorrow, I would love to have that working.
Any help? Thanks a lot
Hi @Undisconnected
You should be able to specify the exact version you want to install, like
npm i @revenuecat/purchases-capacitor@8.0.0-beta.3
@toni-rico Thanks for this, sorry, I had to work on something else for a while. I’d be interested to test it, but I have no idea how to include this in my project.
I generally go with npm i @revenuecat/purchases-capacitor
It seems in the package you are using typescript vs Js in the npm package. Not sure if that’s gonna be a problem.
I’m gonna test to use --legacy-peer-deps with the current version for now, but I’m happy to test the beta if you explain a bit more how to test it.
Thanks
Hi @Undisconnected,
We released a version version 8.0.0-beta.2 with support for Capacitor 6. We plan to release this version as stable soon
Please let us know if you have any issues with that!
Hey everyone,
Anyone got it to work with Capacitor 6 recently released?
I just did some people forces capacitor 4, so I’m gonna try to force the install with Capacitor 6. I’ll give feedback when I have some.
I’ve got that working now. Thanks @toni-rico!
Hi @IrishCoder88,
You need to pass the whole object returned by `getProducts` into the `purchaseStoreProduct`. So the code would look like:
const products = await Purchases.getProducts({ productIdentifiers: ['onetimeproduct'], type: PRODUCT_CATEGORY.NON_SUBSCRIPTION }).products; // Remember to account for the product not being found! const purchaseResult = await Purchase.purchaseStoreProduct({ product: products[0] });
Lmk if you still have any issues!
Ok, so I’ve managed to fetch the product now. But when I try to purchase it, I get to this line, which works with all my other products. It’s only the android one-time purchase where it doesn’t work.
This is due to some limitations in how the system currently works in Android. This parameter is ignored in iOS as mentioned in the documentation.
Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other issues!
I’ve been using this the purchases-capacitor plugin for the past month or so. It’s working fine for my iOS and Android subscriptions, and for my one-time-purchases in iOS. In Android however, it can’t fetch my one-time purchases. They are set up correctly in RevenueCat and Google Play Console, they used to work fine with a different in-app-purchase library.
It’s the same code that works for iOS, so I’m not sure why it’s not working. Below is my code, I was using the alerts to show the product data on the screen when testing with an actual device. It returns the info for both my subscriptions, but not for ‘androidpremium’ or ‘lifetimeandroid’. They just aren’t in the array at all, there are no error messages about it.
I’ve checked the debug logs and there is just no mention of any issues.
I have my Capacitor app built and working on IOS and Android. I’ve recently switched to using capacitor-purchases for my subscriptions. it’s the same codebase that I use for the both IOS and Android versions. I have my subscriptions woking in IOS, and I assumed in the RevenueCat dashboard it would be possible to just add in some extra details to get it working with Android aswell, but it seems like I have to set up a whole separate app, is this correct?
Hi @anuradha-a4da7c, we created this plugin using Capacitor 5 directly so we don’t have a version using Capacitor 4.x. What issues are you finding with Capacitor 4.x? Also, is it possible for you to update to Capacitor 5?
Hi @toni-rico - I could not install the npm package due to its peer dependency of Capacitor 5.x. However, I force installed to see how it works with Capacitor 4.x. Currently testing the implementation, so far seems to work well. If we run into issues, will keep you posted.
Thanks for your response.

@toni-rico Does this capacitor plugin work with capacitor 4.x? Do you have a version that supports capacitor 4?
@toni-rico So awesome, thank you very much!
Hi @bebofit and all! The docs for the Capacitor plugin have been published: https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/ionic. Please take a look and let us know if you run into any issues!
@toni-rico thank you so much!! can you ping us when the public documentation is ready. thanks in advance
@toni-rico Awesome news, thank you so much for all your efforts.
Hi everyone! We have released the first beta of the capacitor plugin! https://www.npmjs.com/package/@revenuecat/purchases-capacitor. Please check it out and let us know if you run into any issues or feedback. We will finish the public documentation soon, so it's easier to implement.
I’ve recently released an app on the Apple app store. I used Vue.js and Capacitor to make it. I’m about to add a paid subscription feature to it, and was looking into ways of doing it. I saw the capacitor-purchases plugin and was going to use it. Should I wait until the changeover is complete before I start developing? I’m not in any big rush.
@Andy Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
