What is IAP?

IAP can refer to several technologies depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities: * **In-App Purchases (IAP):** This is the most common meaning. It refers to the ability to purchase digital goods and services from within a mobile application. These purchases are typically processed through the app store of the device's operating system (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Examples include buying extra lives in a game, unlocking premium features, or subscribing to content. * **Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP):** This refers to a service that controls access to web applications and APIs by verifying the user's identity before granting access. Google Cloud IAP is a well-known example. It acts as a reverse proxy that intercepts requests and authenticates users based on their Google account or other identity providers. * **Initial Appearance Proxy (IAP):** This is a feature in some video codecs related to coding efficiency. Without more context, it's difficult to determine the precise meaning of IAP that you are asking about. It is important to know the context to provide the right explanation.
