Selling Xojo apps on Windows Store

As you may know we have StoreKit APIs for macOS in MBS Xojo Plugins for years to do in-app purchases. A similar API exists for Windows for the Windows Store from Microsoft.

For next MBS Xojo Plugins we include classes for the Windows Store:

• WindowsStoreAppLicenseMBS
• WindowsStoreContextMBS
• WindowsStoreExceptionMBS
• WindowsStorePriceMBS
• WindowsStoreProductMBS
• WindowsStoreProductResultMBS
• WindowsStorePurchasePropertiesMBS
• WindowsStorePurchaseResultMBS
• WindowsStoreRateAndReviewResultMBS
• WindowsStoreSKUMBS

For example to query trial status, you could initialize the WindowsStoreContextMBS class, query the app license and check the trial flag there. To start an in-app purchase you simply pick a product or SKU and run RequestPurchaseAsync method to show the GUI and later get a method called with results.

To learn more about how the Windows Store API works, please check Microsoft's documentation and our Xojo forum thread.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions and let us know if you need another method to do some task.
