I’m new to RevenueCat and this might just be impossible to do, so I figured I’d ask.
I have an app published in iOS and Android.
I have a situation in which I need to see when a given user bought my app in their respective platforms.
This is not about an In-App purchase, but rather, the App itself.
Can RevenueCat do that? It seems like the answer is no, since this seems to only handle InApp purchases and subscriptions, but I wanted to make sure.

Can I, by using RevenueCat in my App, get the exact date and time when a user actually bought (or acquired) the App (not InApp/subscriptions) for the first time in the AppStore/PlayStore?

It seems to me like this is just not possible on android, regardless of the framework or library that I use. On iOS It seems possible.

Thanks

Hi ​@oscar-e8135d,

In the dashboard you can see the date when the user was first seen in the app, I don’t know if that helps.

It looks like you might want to look at an analytics platform if you want more in detail data.

 

Best,
