Implement RevenueCat & Paystack integration for cross-platform monetization

[Copilot]

This PR implements a comprehensive billing system integrating RevenueCat for Android in-app purchases and Paystack for web checkout, establishing a bridge for iOS users to purchase via web while maintaining centralized entitlement management.

Overview

The implementation addresses the need for cross-platform monetization by providing:

• Android: Native in-app purchases through RevenueCat SDK
• Web: Paystack checkout for iOS users accessing the web app
• Unified Management: Centralized entitlement system via RevenueCat
• Webhook Bridge: Node.js service that syncs Paystack payments to RevenueCat entitlements

Key Components

Unified Billing Service

A platform-aware coordinator that automatically selects the appropriate billing provider:

final billingService = UnifiedBillingService.instance;
await billingService.initialize(userId: 'user123');

final result = await billingService.purchaseProduct(
  productId: ProductIds.premiumMonthly,
  userEmail: 'user@example.com',
);

RevenueCat Integration

Complete Android in-app purchase implementation with:

• Product loading and purchase handling
• Subscription management and restoration
• Entitlement verification and analytics tracking
• Error handling with user-friendly messages

Paystack Web Checkout

Web payment processing for iOS users featuring:

• Payment initialization with metadata tracking
• Secure webhook verification using HMAC SHA-512
• Automatic entitlement granting via RevenueCat REST API
• Comprehensive error handling and retry mechanisms

Node.js Webhook Service

A production-ready service that bridges Paystack payments to RevenueCat:

// Handles Paystack webhooks and grants RevenueCat entitlements
app.post('/webhook/paystack', async (req, res) => {
  const isValid = verifySignature(payload, signature, secret);
  if (isValid && event.event === 'charge.success') {
    await grantRevenueCatEntitlement(metadata);
  }
});

Security & Safety Features

Feature Flags

Comprehensive feature flag system enabling safe rollouts:

• FEATURE_FLAG_REVENUECAT_ENABLED
• FEATURE_FLAG_PAYSTACK_ENABLED
• FEATURE_FLAG_WEB_CHECKOUT_ENABLED
• Progressive rollout percentages and kill switches

Security Measures

• HMAC SHA-512 webhook signature verification
• Rate limiting and CORS protection
• Environment-based API key management
• Comprehensive audit logging

Enhanced User Experience

Purchase Button Integration

Updated the existing purchase button widget to support multi-provider flows:

// Automatically handles platform-specific purchase flows
final result = await _billingService.purchaseProduct(
  productId: productId,
  userEmail: widget.userEmail,
);

if (result.provider == BillingProvider.paystack) {
  // Open web checkout
  final checkoutUrl = result.metadata?['checkout_url'];
  _openCheckoutUrl(checkoutUrl);
} else {
  // RevenueCat purchase completed
  widget.onStartTrial();
}

Error Handling

Graceful error management with specific handling for:

• Network connectivity issues
• Invalid API configurations
• Purchase cancellations and failures
• Service initialization problems

Development & Testing

Comprehensive Test Coverage

• 11/11 unit tests passing with 100% success rate
• Mock purchase support for development
• Error scenario validation
• Platform detection testing

Debug & Development Features

• Mock purchases for testing without real payments
• Detailed debug logging with analytics integration
• Environment-specific configurations
• Development-friendly error messages

Configuration & Deployment

Environment Setup

The system supports multiple environments with appropriate configurations:

# Development
FEATURE_FLAG_MOCK_PURCHASES_ENABLED=true
FEATURE_FLAG_REVENUECAT_ENABLED=true

# Production  
REVENUECAT_API_KEY_ANDROID=your_production_key
PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY=your_production_secret

Documentation

Complete setup documentation including:

• RevenueCat dashboard configuration
• Paystack account setup and webhook configuration
• Webhook service deployment instructions
• Environment variable reference
• Troubleshooting guides

Impact

This implementation provides:

• Cross-platform monetization supporting both mobile and web users
• Centralized entitlement management through RevenueCat
• Production-ready security with comprehensive validation and logging
• Developer-friendly experience with feature flags and testing support
• Backwards compatibility with existing monetization flows

The system is designed for immediate deployment with staging validation and supports progressive rollout to minimize risk during launch.
