Allow purchase if IAP via unlock key/unlocker app, PayPal order etc (Twidere / Twidere X) #1411

Open githupper opened 3 years ago

Current IAP model only support purchase from Google Play Store.

For users like myself who have degoogled phones or for people with phones without Google Play Services built-in (e.g. Huawei phones), we are unable to make any IAP from the apk downloaded from Github / FDroid / Aurora.

Would like to request for some way to purchase the IAP for people like us.

Thanks

I am specifically looking into filter lists. The current version (Twidere)in FDroid still do not allow filter list in Name and Description. If Twidere X also have similar restrictions in place, I would like to have an option to purchase it outside of Play Store. For other apps that are distributed outside of Play Store or allow IAP outside of Play Store, they use features such as

  1. Unlock via purchase ID or order ID (e.g. FairMail)
  2. Unlock via unlocker app \ generated gift code (e.g. Hermit)
  3. Unlock via authentication server (e.g. AutoUnlock, FairMail)

Hopefully you can consider one of these or other methods to allow people who are not on Google Play Store to enjoy Twidere X in future.

This requires a little change to the current ci configuration and project setup since these features are currently close source. Since we've decided to make all IAP features free, it's ok to open source these parts and all users will have full functionality eventually.
