Summary

  • capture the StoreKit and Onside module weakly from stored Expo lifecycle definitions
  • scope listener teardown to the module generation that installed the listeners
  • wait for pending connection cleanup before a replacement module reconnects
  • add regression coverage for lifecycle ownership and capture behavior

Closes #334

Root cause

ExpoIapHelper owns process-wide listener tokens, but lifecycle teardown had no module ownership. Because OnCreate and OnDestroy dispatch unstructured main-actor tasks, an old module teardown could run after a replacement module installed its listeners and clear the replacement state or end its shared connection. The strong-capture theory in the report does not by itself imply use-after-free—a strong task capture keeps the instance alive—but the stored lifecycle closures and unowned global teardown made module replacement unsafe.

The fix assigns each listener installation a generation, ignores stale teardown, records connection cleanup as a pending task, and makes initConnection wait for that task. The terminal destroy task retains only the instance needed to finish its own cleanup.

Test plan

  • bun run test in libraries/expo-iap (520 tests)
  • bun run test in libraries/expo-iap/example (134 tests)
  • bun run lint:tsc
  • bun run lint (0 errors; 5 existing warnings in untouched code)
  • bun audit:parity
  • iOS Simulator build of the ExpoIap pod
  • iOS Simulator build with OnsideKit 0.7.5 enabled

Preview

Not applicable: this changes native lifecycle synchronization and has no visual surface. The two simulator builds above exercise the standard StoreKit and Onside compilation paths.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved iOS in-app purchase connection and listener lifecycle handling.
    • Prevented stale listeners from interfering with newer connections.
    • Ensured previous StoreKit cleanup completes before starting a new connection.
    • Improved module cleanup during creation and destruction to reduce lifecycle-related issues.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for iOS lifecycle handling, listener cleanup, and connection sequencing.

Scope StoreKit listener teardown to the module generation that created it. Wait for an in-flight connection cleanup before reconnecting, and avoid retaining standard or Onside modules through their stored lifecycle definitions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The iOS StoreKit lifecycle now uses generation-scoped listener cleanup, tracked asynchronous connection termination, awaited cleanup before reconnection, and weakly captured lifecycle tasks. Jest tests cover these lifecycle safeguards.

Changes

iOS StoreKit lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation-scoped StoreKit cleanup
libraries/expo-iap/ios/ExpoIapHelper.swift
Listener setup returns a generation identifier. Cleanup removes listeners, tracks asynchronous connection termination, and waits for pending cleanup tasks.
Expo module lifecycle integration
libraries/expo-iap/ios/ExpoIapModule.swift
Lifecycle tasks use weak captures. Store cleanup clears the active generation and completes before initConnection starts a new connection.
Onside lifecycle and regression coverage
libraries/expo-iap/ios/onside/OnsideIapModule.swift, libraries/expo-iap/src/__tests__/ios-module-lifecycle.test.js
Onside lifecycle tasks avoid retaining the module. Jest tests verify weak captures, generation-aware cleanup, and awaited teardown.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to d550a

Lifecycle cleanup may still replace the tracked cleanup task, allowing a new connection to start while an earlier connection is ending; this can leave iOS connection state inconsistent, so the PR is not fully merge-ready until the race is fixed or explicitly accepted.
