in the customer center > account details > User ID, it only shows the RC anon user ID, not my custom ID. Can we allow showing our ID/alias?

Hi, when viewing the Customer Center’s Account Details → User ID, this shows CustomerInfo.originalAppUserId (the Original App User ID), not the current App User ID or an alias. If the SDK was configured anonymously first and the custom ID was applied later via logIn(), the original ID stays $RCAnonymousID:… permanently, even though your custom ID is aliased onto the same customer. That’s expected with how identifying customers works today.

Showing the custom ID / alias instead (or in addition) isn’t supported in Customer Center right now — I’ve logged this as a feature request. In the meantime you can surface your own ID in-app via Purchases.shared.appUserID (or the equivalent on your platform).

Happy to dig in further if you share how you’re configuring / identifying users.
