motion-paddle

Paddle for vendors: https://vendors.paddle.com

As of version 1.1.3, the Paddle framework is automatically included as a CocoaPod.

In version 1.1.4, a workaround was added for an issue related to existing installations of an app using motion-paddle not getting updated values when something was changed in the Rakefile. Now, the short version string is used in the section name of the motion-paddle part of the Info.plist. You will need to set app.short_version before calling app.paddle.

You can see the gem in use in my MemoryTamer app https://github.com/henderea/MemoryTamer.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'motion-paddle'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install motion-paddle

###In Rakefile:

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  #...
  app.paddle do
    set :product_id, 'product_id'
    set :vendor_id, 'vendor_id'
    set :api_key, 'api_key'
    set :current_price, 'current_price'
    set :dev_name, 'dev_name'
    set :currency, 'currency'
    set :image, 'image'
    set :product_name, 'product_name'
    set :trial_duration, 'trial_duration'
    set :trial_text, 'trial_text'
    set :product_image, 'product_image'
    set :time_trial, true
  end
end

def applicationDidFinishLaunching(notification)
  MotionPaddle.setup(window = nil) { |action, note|
    if MotionPaddle.activated?
      NSLog "activated with license code #{MotionPaddle.activated_license_code} and email #{MotionPaddle.activated_email}"
    else
      NSLog "not activated"
    end
    if action == :activated
      do_something_on_activated
    elsif action == :continue
      do_something_on_continue
    end
  }
  MotionPaddle.listen(:deactivated) { |action, deactivated, deactivateMessage|
    if deactivated
      NSLog 'deactivated license'
      MotionPaddle.show_licensing
    else
      NSLog "failed to deactivate license: #{deactivateMessage}"
    end
  }
  MotionPaddle.listen(:error) { |action, nsError|
    do_something_with_error
  }
end

Use the store environment variable to choose which version of the Paddle framework you wish to use: the one for the Paddle store or for the Mac App Store.

rake store=paddle
rake store=mas

If you are building an app that will run on both the Paddle store and the Mac App Store, you will want to update your Rakefile to something like this:

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  #...
  app.paddle do
    if mas_store?
      set :product_id, 'mas_product_id'
    else
      set :product_id, 'product_id'
    end
    set :vendor_id, 'vendor_id'
    set :api_key, 'api_key'
    
    ...
    
  end
end

If you will only be doing the mac app store, you can avoid having to use the environment variable every time by changing your Rakefile to do something like this:

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  #...
  app.paddle(force_mas: true) do
    set :product_id, 'mas_product_id'
    set :vendor_id, 'vendor_id'
    set :api_key, 'api_key'
    
    ...
    
  end
end

There is also a paddle_store? method available in the block passed to app.paddle

###Other MotionPaddle methods not in the above example

• MotionPaddle.enabled? - true if Paddle framework is included
• MotionPaddle.paddle_instance - shared Paddle instance, typically not needed
• MotionPaddle.time_trial? - defaults to value from Rakefile
• MotionPaddle.time_trial= - override the time_trial value from the Rakefile
• MotionPaddle.can_force_exit? - gets the Paddle framework setting for whether the app is shut down normally or force exited
• MotionPaddle.can_force_exit= - set the above value
• MotionPaddle.will_show_licensing_window? - get the Paddle framework setting for whether the app will show the licensing window right away or wait until MotionPaddle.show_licensing is called
• MotionPaddle.will_show_licensing_window= - set the above value
• MotionPaddle.has_tracking_started? - get the Paddle framework property hasTrackingStarted
• MotionPaddle.has_tracking_started= - set the above property (not sure if it can actually be set)
• MotionPaddle.will_simplify_views? - get the Paddle framework property willSimplifyViews
• MotionPaddle.will_simplify_views= - set the above property (not sure if it can actually be set)
• MotionPaddle.will_show_activation_alert? - get the Paddle framework property willShowActivationAlert
• MotionPaddle.will_show_activation_alert= - set the above property
• MotionPaddle.will_continue_at_trial_end? - get the Paddle framework setting for whether the app will force license or quit on trial end or will allow use to continue with (optionally) limited functionality
• MotionPaddle.will_continue_at_trial_end= - set the above property
• MotionPaddle.trial_days_left - get the number of days left in the trial
• MotionPaddle.deactivate_license - deactivate the license
• MotionPaddle.paddle_store? - returns true if using the Paddle store
• MotionPaddle.mas_store? - returns true if using the Mac App Store

NOTE: some methods offer a version that uses the spelling "licence". This is the name used for the methods in the Paddle framework, so I included this spelling as an option. The will_show_licensing_window methods are the only ones with it spelled with an "s" in the Paddle framework, and they do not have the "c" version in MotionPaddle.
