Iap Coming To Nook

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

B&N just announced they are going to roll out IAP on Nook “soon” (supposedly by mid-April), via mobile-payment provider forutmo. https://nookdeveloper.barnesandnoble.com/iap.html

It would be good if Corona could support this from the get-go.  Not to mention the sorely needed Amazon IAP integration.  Our paid app, The Bad Girl’s Journal, is doing very well for us on Nook, and the Amazon store version is starting to pick up steam, currently #1 in productivity.  We would love to have the option to create a free version with IAP on all storefronts, not just Apple and Google Play where we are having a lot of trouble getting noticed above the noise.

I think any one building for Nook would like this, but we need to get the rest of Gluon out the door first.

Well, Coronalabs already supports Nook as a platform and IAP as an existing feature, so getting IAP working for Nook (and for Amazon) doesn’t seem like too unreasonable a request.  In the least it would be making Corona more consistent across their supported platforms.  At this point IAP is kind of a requirement given the current dominance of the freemium/IAP model. (And it’s in Coronalabs’ best interests to have their own customers making money so they can afford the yearly subscription to Corona)

Agreed - iAP is a very important feature for both Nook and Amazon - most successful apps use the iAP model, so this should be a priority.
