Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 18, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

Detailed Description

Purchases-ios is a Swift SDK that wraps StoreKit to simplify in-app purchases and subscriptions across Apple platforms.

The tool solves the complexity of implementing in-app purchases by providing a client-side wrapper around Apple's StoreKit framework combined with a backend service for receipt validation, subscription tracking, and analytics. Developers use the SDK to fetch products, execute purchases, and check subscription status, while the RevenueCat backend handles server-side receipt validation, stores customer transaction histories, and calculates business metrics like conversion and churn. This separation means developers avoid building their own subscription infrastructure while gaining access to cross-platform subscription status tracking that works across iOS, Android, and web.

The SDK suits any iOS app monetizing through subscriptions or in-app purchases, from new projects to established apps with large user bases. It is fully written in Swift and compatible with Objective-C. The tool integrates with over a dozen analytics and attribution platforms, allowing purchase events to flow automatically to services like Amplitude, Mixpanel, and others. For developers already using RevenueCat's backend, this SDK is the natural choice; for those building custom backends, the wrapper functionality around StoreKit still provides value by simplifying purchase flows and subscription status checks.

The project maintains frequent releases and provides up-to-date online documentation alongside SDK reference materials. Migration guides are available for developers upgrading between major versions. The framework supports a wide range of Apple platforms and OS versions, with requirements starting from iOS 13.0, tvOS 13.0, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6.2, and visionOS 1.0, and requires Xcode 15.0 or later for development.
