👋 I created a starter pack of all RevenueCats on Bluesky. Follow if you want us to help you make more money with your app 😀 go.bsky.app/2ZgQU4e

Wrapping a Swift Package in a Gradle Module: How RevenueCat's KMP SDK Builds purchases-ios Without CocoaPods. In this article, you'll dive deep into how the SDK wraps a Swift package in a Gradle module. www.revenuecat.com/blog/enginee...

Thanks @jay.shortway.io for the shoutout in the @revenuecat.com stream My idea is a habit tracker that lets you celebrate each habit with different fun animations; a check for all does not make sense Calm glow for meditation, and a hectic scribble for 10 hard pullups www.youtube.com/live/VAsl_q0...

I'll be joining too! Come hang out 😄

We've massively simplified the integration of our RevenueCat KMP SDK in version 3.0.0-beta.1. It's now just 1 line in your Gradle files, as it should be. Please try it out and report any bugs on GitHub 🙏 github.com/RevenueCat/p...

If you thought Compose Hot Reload couldn't get any better, check out HotSwan which brings it to Android builds. Absolutely mind blowing stuff 👇

I blogged for the first time in 2 years! It's about setting up remote syslog from Unraid to @betterstack.com. Turns out it's easy, but I didn't find any info online, so I'm contributing what I learned. shortway.io/unraid-remot...

Check out some of the design decisions we took when building our KMP SDK 👇

Friday evenings are for web development! I'm migrating kipavista.com from Shopify to @astro.build + Stripe, because the revenue just isn't there to justify the Shopify fee. And also because it gives me an excuse to play with Astro again!

Join our next @revenuecat.com's Shipaton live session, 'Shipaton 2025: Building Cross-Platform Apps with Kotlin & Compose Multiplatform', and ask anything! Marton Braun @zsmb.co and Pamela Hill from @kotlinlang.org @jetbrains.com will be joining! app.livestorm.co/revenuecat/s...

My KotlinConf '25 talk is live! 👇😄

I just published @revenuecat.com Codelab! RevenueCat Codelab for learning and understanding the RevenueCat SDK through a step-by-step, zero-to-hero tutorial. github.com/RevenueCat/c...

Don't build an Android app. Build your app as a plain JVM (or KMP) app, and only interact with the Android framework at the edges.

Making native SDKs Multiplatform at RevenueCat by @jay.shortway.io!

Could this be the one navigation library to rule them all?

Oh the collective engineering hours spent going back and forth on this topic. This should be the reference solution 👇

👉 Jay Shortway will be speaking at KotlinConf’25, covering the strategies, pitfalls and learnings of our approach to bringing native SDKs to Kotlin Multiplatform. 🔗 kotl.in/conf-schedule 🔗

In case you missed it, check out the recording of this Talking Kotlin episode! 🎙️ @sebi.io and @zsmb.co chat with @jay.shortway.io, author of RevenueCat’s KMP SDK for in-app purchases, about building Kotlin Multiplatform libraries. 👀 Watch it now: youtu.be/zWNAjU-UpSY?...

I just published a new open-source project, Cat Paywall Compose! 🐈 Cat Paywall Compose shows you how to build a paywall for Google Play's billing system using RevenueCat's Android SDK and Jetpack Compose. github.com/RevenueCat/c...

Come join @skydoves.bsky.social, myself and the rest of the team to help apps make more money! 🙌

I was recently invited on the official Talking Kotlin podcast to talk about adapting native libraries for KMP! 😄 You can check it out here 👇 youtu.be/zWNAjU-UpSY

We've just added Paywalls v2 support to Flutter as well!

We just launched our server-driven Compose/SwiftUI Paywalls for Android, Kotlin Multiplatform and React Native! It's so fresh, we haven't even updated our docs yet. github.com/RevenueCat/p...

We were like "what if figma but instantly deployed natively as SwiftUI and (very very soon) Compose?"

Finally set my domain as bsky handle 🤩

Happy new compute credits!

Been doing so much server driven Compose and SwiftUI lately, I barely remember how to write UI code the straightforward way. 😅

Still wild to realize that the code I write ends up in the ChatGPT app 🤯

We shipped a thing! Congrats to the team for putting up with my SwiftUI skills 👇

From "shall we support gradient colors for text?" to "✅ implemented" in about an hour, in both Compose and SwiftUI. Modern UI toolkits are amazing.

PSA: the exceptions you throw are part of your public API. So a change like this one is breaking, and requires a major version bump: cs.android.com/androidx/pla...

One of my favorite things about Compose is how well its various concepts are modeled. E.g., Easing models (surprise) easing functions. Typically used for animations, but completely decoupled from that concept so they can be used for gradients just as well. That's exactly how they're used in Haze 👇

This is great! Just followed a bunch of fellow KMPeeps 👇

This is very cool! I often default to writing parameterized tests. Until now that meant manual for-loops and print statements in Kotlin Multiplatform. Excited to migrate to burst!

If you were waiting for Compose Multiplatform 1.7.0 in purchases-kmp, then wait no longer! github.com/RevenueCat/p...

Writing software means making thousands of decisions, big and small. I wrote about the ones we made building RevenueCat's SDK for Kotlin Multiplatform. Check it out: www.revenuecat.com/blog/enginee...

Hi everyone and welcome to my RevenueCat offsite swag haul!

Personal news: I'm beyond proud to share that I have joined RevenueCat! I'll be working on all the mobile SDKs. So devs: watch your wallet... cause I'll be helping you make more money!

Working with and refactoring legacy code truly is a form of art. Requires its own set of skills that are not typically acquired in other areas of software engineering. Definitely learned to appreciate that over the years!
