Family Sharing In-App Purchases

[G-Prime]

Has anyone seen any apps that have enabled family sharing in-app purchases?

I haven’t seen any. I am hoping that some of the apps for home automation enable this. It seems crazy to have to pay multiple times to enable premium features for an app that controls lights in your home.

none, in-app sharing of purchases is not supported by apple

Just to reiterate what AbielM16 said, this Apple support article states in-app purchases can't be shared.

What types of content can I share with my family? - Apple Support

You can share content that you purchase from Apple including music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books. You can also share your Apple subscriptions including Apple One.

Apple added in iOS 14. You can see it in the picture below in the Family Sharing info.

I read a couple things about that change on other sites but couldn't find anything from Apple about it, even on developer.apple.com. Looks like it's up to the developer to decide if they want the IAP to be family-shareable. Maybe someone who is a developer could chime in.

Pillow says it’s sharable but my parrner has the subscription and I can’t get it working on mine

Subscriptions also became shareable in iOS14 but i imagine this will require developer updates and probably new “family plan” subscription pricing.

The description of the Komoot app says that in-app purchases could be possibly shareable (whatever that means) but it didn't work and according to a chat with support in-app purchases are not shareable yet.
🤦‍♂️
