## What it is
An Objective-C helper library for Apple in-app purchases built on StoreKit, using ARC and blocks for requesting products, purchasing, and receipt validation. The repository is no longer maintained and recommends SwiftyStoreKit as a replacement.

## Use cases
- add in-app purchases to an iOS app
- fetch product prices and localized titles from the App Store
- purchase products with StoreKit blocks-based API
- validate App Store receipts on device
- check and restore previous purchases
- manage saved purchased product identifiers

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using IAPHelper
- needing a simple blocks-based StoreKit wrapper for iOS 5+

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project (use SwiftyStoreKit or StoreKit 2)
- needing maintained or updated in-app purchase support
- requiring Swift or modern Apple payment APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, security
- domain: mobile-development, e-commerce
- platform: -
- tags: in-app-purchase, storekit, objective-c, receipt-validation, deprecated, ios, mobile
