Closes #366.

What was wrong

The addon's .gdextension declared:

supported_platforms = ["ios", "macos"]

supported_platforms is not part of the .gdextension format — Godot's loader never reads it. The documented keys are entry_symbol, compatibility_minimum, compatibility_maximum, reloadable, and android_aar_plugin. So the platform gate we thought we had never existed: on a Windows or Linux editor the loader fell straight through to the library search, found no matching entry, and printed the two errors in the report on every project scan.

What changed

include_tags = ["ios", "macos"] replaces it in the checked-in addon, both release-zip variants, the release verification greps, and the iOS plugin guide. The loader evaluates include_tags before searching [libraries] and returns ERR_SKIP; GDExtensionManager maps that to LOAD_STATUS_NOT_LOADED and returns without logging, so both messages disappear.

Honest limitation

include_tags only exists in Godot master (4.8-dev) — it is absent from the 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 branches. The reporter's log line (gdextension_library_loader.cpp:369) matches the 4.7 branch exactly, so this change alone does not silence their editor today; upstream godotengine/godot#105615 is still open with no released fix.

For 4.3–4.7 the Godot setup docs now carry the workaround the reporter found — renaming godot_iap.gdextension to .disabled while developing for Android — with the reason it is safe: iOS and macOS builds need a Mac, so nothing in bin/ is usable from a Windows or Linux machine, and Android keeps loading the AAR from addons/godot-iap/android/.

The key is inert on older versions (unknown keys are ignored), so shipping it now means users get silent skipping for free when they upgrade to 4.8.

Verification

  • bun run audit:docs, bun run audit:parity, workflow security audit, docs typecheck — all clean.
  • Release workflow verification greps updated in lockstep, so a future edit that drops the key fails the release job.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Godot extension platform configuration for iOS and macOS releases.
    • Updated release checks to accurately verify Apple platform packages.
    • Added validation to prevent unsupported platform configuration keys.
  • Documentation

    • Added troubleshooting guidance for GDExtension warnings in Windows and Linux editors.
    • Clarified Android behavior, Godot version differences, and a temporary workaround for non-Apple development environments.

The addon shipped supported_platforms, which Godot never reads — it is not
a key in the .gdextension format, so the loader always fell through to the
library search and printed 'No GDExtension library found' on Windows and
Linux editors (#366). include_tags is the real key: the loader matches it
before searching libraries and returns ERR_SKIP, which the manager treats
as not-loaded without logging.

That key exists only in Godot master (4.8-dev), so 4.3-4.7 still print the
errors — godotengine/godot#105615 is open with no released fix. Document
the rename workaround for those versions instead of pretending the config
handles it.

Closes #366

Walkthrough

The Godot extension configuration now uses include_tags for iOS and macOS. CI and release checks validate the new key. Godot setup documentation adds guidance for Windows and Linux development, Android compatibility, and temporarily disabling the Apple-only extension.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 74a96

The PR adds Apple-only platform tags across addon and release packaging, but CI does not validate both release workflow variants, so future drift could produce an incorrect package configuration. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to add those checks.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The Makefile writes the same [configuration] block the release workflow
does, and it still emitted supported_platforms — the next 'make macos'
would have silently reverted the tracked file, and 'make test-setup'
would have copied the stale key into the TestProject that gets device
tested. Pin all three copies with a CI step so the next drift fails
instead of shipping.

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci-godot-iap.yml
The guard's own comment named three producers but checked two. The
release workflow emits both an iOS+macOS and an iOS-only variant, and
its in-workflow greps only compare it against itself, so a matched
drift there would still ship.

Device regression — godot-iap rows

Run on 182a6071.

Row            | Device/target              | Flow                                   | Result
Godot iOS      | iPhone 13 mini 35C8EE6D    | export → build → install → launch →    | PASS
               |                            | StoreKit product fetch                 |
Godot Android  | local (make android)       | plugin build, AAR debug+release        | PASS
Godot Android  | Pixel 2 HT79F1A00473       | APK export → install → device flow     | BLOCKED

iOS — PASS. make export-ios succeeded under the installed Godot 4.5.1, framework embedding patched, xcodebuild ... -destination id=35C8EE6D… reported BUILD SUCCEEDED, and the app installed and launched on device. Runtime evidence that the GDExtension actually loaded, not just shipped:

  • Device console shows the Swift plugin working — [OpenIapSerialization] purchaseInput received … Successfully decoded and wrapped PurchaseInput on the startup available-purchases pass.
  • The in-game Store fetched live StoreKit products with localized pricing: 10 Bulbs ₩1,100, 30 Bulbs ₩4,400, Certified Badge ₩17,000, Premium ₩14,000, Premium Yearly ₩149,000, plus Restore Purchases.
  • The packed Martie.pck carries the new config verbatim (include_tags = ["ios", "macos"]) and both GodotIap.framework and SwiftGodotRuntime.framework are embedded as arm64.

No purchase dialog was approved — this run was not authorized for purchase approval, so purchase/finish/consume is not claimed.

Android — plugin build PASS, device flow BLOCKED. make android rebuilt both AARs (Gradle BUILD SUCCESSFUL). make export-android stops at its version gate: the Makefile pins GODOT_VERSION = 4.7.1 for source exports and the machine has the Godot 4.7.1 export templates installed but a 4.5.1 editor binary at /Applications/Godot.app. Exact missing prerequisite: a Godot 4.7.1 editor binary.

Android exposure to this diff is nil by construction — Android loads the AAR through addons/godot-iap/android/GodotIap.gdap, and .gdextension is Apple-only. On Godot 4.3–4.7 include_tags is an unrecognized key that the loader ignores entirely, so runtime behavior is unchanged on every released Godot; only 4.8 gates on it.

Device regression — godot-iap rows (complete)

Godot 4.7.1 was installed to satisfy the Makefile's source-export pin, so the previously blocked Android row now ran. Both rows pass on 182a6071.

Row            | Device                     | Flow                                        | Result
Godot iOS      | iPhone 13 mini 35C8EE6D    | export → build → install → launch → fetch   | PASS
Godot Android  | Pixel 2 HT79F1A00473       | export → install → launch → fetch           | PASS

Android — PASS. make export-android succeeded under Godot 4.7.1 and the APK installed on the Pixel 2 (the old dev.hyo.martie from another example was uninstalled first for a signature mismatch). Device logs show the full path working:

GodotPluginRegistry: Initializing Godot plugin GodotIap
[GodotIap] Native plugin loaded via Engine singleton (Android)
[GodotIap] Android signal connection complete
[IAPManager] GodotIap connected
[GodotIap] fetch_products called
[IAPManager] Products fetched (async): 5

No gdextension loader messages appear anywhere in the Android log, confirming the Apple-only extension is inert on that target and that the include_tags key changed nothing there.

iOS — PASS, as reported above: StoreKit returned all five products with localized pricing and the Swift plugin decoded purchases at startup.

No purchase dialog was approved on either platform, so purchase/finish/consume is still not claimed. Product fetch, plugin load, and billing connection are covered on both.
