How do I show an in app purchase price in local currency

Question

Just wondering what I need to call to show the price in local currency of my in app purchase. Eg, in Australia I would like to have a button / label that shows $1.29 (tier 1) but if somebody in North America is using the app, it will show $0.99 (tier 1).

This is for iOS.

Thanks in advance.

When you use the store library, you can call the function "loadProducts" to get the available items for sale. Each item entry has a field "localizedPrice" that is a string representing the price according to the user's apple store.

for example, for ios:

local productIds = { 
    --array of your product identifiers, as you defined them in iTunes Connect 
}

local function loadProductsCallback( event )
    local validProducts = event.products
    local invalidProducts = event.invalidProducts
    if validProducts ~= nil then
        for i = 1, #validProducts do
            local currentItem = validProducts[i]
            -- here do what you want with currentItem.localizedPrice 
        end
    end
end

local store = require("store")
store.init("apple", storeListener)
if store.isActive and store.canLoadProducts then
    store.loadProducts(productIds, loadProductsCallback)
End

You can read more about it in the documentation: http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/store/loadProducts.html
