Hey everybody, what's going on and welcome to the in-app purchase target topic focusing specifically on auto-renewing subscriptions. Now, before you dive into the course, I wanted to just show you a brief demo of the app you're going to build. I want to show you what it does, how it works, all that stuff, so let's go ahead and let's just take a look. I have my phone up here in QuickTime. I'm using my physical device, which, by the way, that's a requirement for this course. You have access to a physical iPhone to test these purchases, especially subscriptions. The simulator is inconsistent slash, it doesn't really work at all for in-app purchases, and so you're going to need a physical device plugged in to do this. So let's take a look. If you tap on a cell, it pulls open a View Controller with a banner ad, the ability to buy a certain item, and let me put in my password here. It's the same password I use for all my test accounts. Basically, you can buy that item and chiching, your purchase was successful. You can also for $0.99 hide the ads and then they are permanently hidden. You can go and close that, and if you tap on the question mark, you can restore in-app purchases you've already made, but my favorite part is subscriptions. So you can notice on the bottom here, there's a label that says subscription expired, the red label right here, and if you go ahead and select the green dollar sign button, you'll see it says subscribe to meal-plan. This subscription will automatically renew every month for 49.99. So if I click "Continue", I confirm my subscription. When I press, "Okay" watch what happens. Look at that. You can see the UI changes. The UI has a gray background, the label is now green. It says subscription valid. If I go into a sell, the ads are gone, that's a perk of being a subscriber. That's it, guys. That's what our subscription can do. Now, this, of course, is a really simple example and in a more advanced app, you might want to set so that they can order food for free, or not free, but as a part of their subscription. One meal every day and every 24 hours, they could reorder another meal anytime throughout the day, that would be something you could do. But this is basically it, guys. After five minutes, by the way, the screen will turn white, the text will turn red and say subscription expired, and that's basically when it expires on its own. Basically, assuming that I signed up for one month and I ran out of money or it didn't work to keep going. So the cool thing is that as long as you can pay from iTunes, the subscription will remain valid. Now, canceling the subscription, we'll talk about that later on. But this is the app guys, this is what you're going to build, it's pretty cool. So let's go ahead and let's head over to the next video where we're basically going to dive into just what this app is about. We're going to take a look at the starter project and just poke around to see how it works and how it will help us to make this a much faster process of learning auto-renewing subscriptions. So let's head over to the next video now.
