fetchProducts()

fetchProducts() is the unified way to load in-app products or subscriptions from the store, consolidating the legacy helpers into a single API.

Signature​

Future<FetchProductsResult> fetchProducts({
  required List<String> skus,
  ProductQueryType? type,
})

Parameters​

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
skusList<String>✅Store identifiers to query (Google Play product IDs / App Store product identifiers)
typeProductQueryType?❌ProductQueryType.InApp (default) or ProductQueryType.Subs

Return Value​

The method returns a FetchProductsResult union type:

FetchProductsResultProducts:

  • Contains .value property with List<Product>? (nullable list)
  • Returned for ProductQueryType.InApp queries

FetchProductsResultSubscriptions:

  • Contains .value property with List<ProductSubscription>? (nullable list)
  • Returned for ProductQueryType.Subs queries

Important: Always access the product list via the .value property:

final result = await fetchProducts(...);
final products = result.value ?? []; // Handle nullable list

Usage Examples​

Fetch in-app products​

final result = await FlutterInappPurchase.instance.fetchProducts(
  skus: ['coins_100', 'remove_ads'],
  type: ProductQueryType.InApp,
);

for (final product in result.value) {
  print('${product.title}: ${product.displayPrice}');
}

Fetch subscriptions​

final result = await FlutterInappPurchase.instance.fetchProducts(
  skus: ['premium_monthly', 'premium_yearly'],
  type: ProductQueryType.Subs,
);

for (final sub in result.value) {
  print('${sub.title}: ${sub.displayPrice}');
  print('Period: ${sub.subscriptionPeriodUnitIOS ?? sub.subscriptionInfoAndroid?.billingPeriod}');
}

Fetch both types​

Future<void> loadCatalog() async {
  final inAppsResult = await FlutterInappPurchase.instance.fetchProducts(
    skus: ['coins_100', 'remove_ads'],
    type: ProductQueryType.InApp,
  );
  final subsResult = await FlutterInappPurchase.instance.fetchProducts(
    skus: ['premium_monthly'],
    type: ProductQueryType.Subs,
  );

  final allProducts = [
    ...inAppsResult.value ?? [],
    ...subsResult.value ?? [],
  ];

  for (final item in allProducts) {
    debugPrint('Loaded ${item.id} (${item.displayPrice})');
  }
}

Error Handling​

try {
  final result = await FlutterInappPurchase.instance.fetchProducts(
    skus: productIds,
    type: ProductQueryType.InApp,
  );
  if (result.value.isEmpty) {
    debugPrint('No products returned for: $productIds');
  }
  if (result.invalidProductIds.isNotEmpty) {
    debugPrint('Invalid product IDs: ${result.invalidProductIds}');
  }
} on PurchaseError catch (error) {
  switch (error.code) {
    case 'E_NOT_PREPARED':
      debugPrint('Call initConnection() before fetching products');
      break;
    case 'E_NETWORK_ERROR':
      debugPrint('Network error – prompt the user to retry');
      break;
    default:
      debugPrint('Unexpected store error: ${error.message}');
  }
}

Platform Notes​

iOS​

  • Products must be visible in App Store Connect (Ready for Sale or Approved)
  • The bundle identifier must match the app querying the products
  • StoreKit 2 caching means results may be served from a local cache on subsequent calls

Android​

  • Products must be active in Google Play Console (Internal Testing track or above)
  • Billing client v8 requires the app to be signed with a certificate added to Play Console
  • Only SKUs that belong to the current package can be queried

Migration Notes​

From v6.x to v7.0​

// Before (v6.x)
final result = await iap.fetchProducts(
  ProductRequest(
    skus: ['product_id'],
    type: ProductQueryType.InApp,
  ),
);

// After (v7.0)
final result = await iap.fetchProducts(
  skus: ['product_id'],
  type: ProductQueryType.InApp,
);

From legacy APIs​

  • Replace requestProducts() calls with fetchProducts()
  • Convert the returned FetchProductsResult using inAppProducts(), subscriptionProducts(), or allProducts() depending on the query type
  • Replace any legacy product-loading helpers in your codebase with fetchProducts()
