Best way to extend a subscription?

What would be the best way to give the user a free month if they are already had a subscription? We want to implement a referral reward system in our app and the user can redeem multiple free months separately so we would want them to stack if possible.I’ve seen that both iOS and Androids have Promo Codes we could give to users but those seem to be for new users:https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/ios-subscription-offershttps://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/android-promo-codesI did see that RevenueCat has an API to extend this as well, but wasn’t sure how that would work. Is RevenueCat that one that tells Apple or Google to charge for the subscription again? If not does it tell Apple or Google to not charge until a certain time? Do they stack? Here is the url to the API:https://docs.revenuecat.com/reference/grant-a-promotional-entitlementThanks for the help!Asher

Is there an REST API for retrieving all Products under a project.

Best practices to switch user from subscription to lifetime "subscription" which is consumable.

Hey,What is the best practice to switch users from existing subscription to life time product on iOS and Android, like lifetime “subscription” which is actually not a subscription but consumable product.As I understand you cannot cancel subscription on iOS , so the only thing is to show link to the user and notify that he should cancel current subscription manually? Little bit not user friendly approach.And for Android seems like you can revoke + refund via api, but only revoke is needed actually not a refund. Or same as iOS to show link to user for cancellation, which is also not a very good option.Thanks

Best Practice - Handling Subscription Cancellations/Refunds/Reactivations

Hello, I was wondering what the best practice is to handle an app with subscriptions when a user cancels the subscription, gets a refund and then possibly reactivates the subscription. Are webhooks the best practice for this?

Consumable Purchase via Test Flight

I am testing a tvOS app that has a subscription and two consumable product IAP. The consumable product IAP works properly when running the tvOS app via Xcode. However, when running the same app via Test Flight, the consumable IAP does not allow the purchase of a second exact consumable and instead provides this message: “The In-app purchase has already been bought. It will be restored for free”. Again this is a consumable purchase so there should be no restoration and the user should be able to purchase it as often as they want. This again does NOT happen when running via Xcode. The consumable IAP is set as consumable on App Store Connect and is not associated with any entitlement here on RevenueCat. I am obviously concerned that if it’s happening on TF that it will happen in production as well. Why is this occurring? Thanks.

Detect a Successful/Unsuccessful Purchase

New to RevenueCat and cannot seem to find the solution to what to do after making a purchase with this code in Flutter:PurchaserInfo purchaserInfo = await Purchases.purchasePackage( _selectedPackage);How do I properly determine if the purchase to a subscription was successful or not successful so that I can navigate the user properly?

Consumable purchases

Good afternoon. In addition to monthly/semi-annual subscriptions, we have an opportunity to make one-time purchases (consumable), when a user buys for example 1/5/10 items, his internal balance is replenished and he can spend it at any time. With the current settings on the tests there is no possibility to buy an item more than 1 time. Could you please tell me what's the problem? All done according to the instructions. And also when paying with a test card returns an error in the callback, how to fix

Invalid Play Store credentials after changing them

Hi,I recently change the Service Account JSON because the old one did not work after moving app to another account on Play Store Console. I changed it 48 hours ago and I still have Invalid Play Store credentials.I verify that the Service Account JSON hasn’t any space after copied it from RevenueCat page. I double checked that everything is ok after following your guide.You say in the guide that it can takes 36 hours, in the support, you say 48 hours. What the max time should I wait before recreating the service?For the spaces, I entered the JSON with spaces but when I download it from your site, there isn’t any space, you remove them automatically?Do you have on your side more information to help me?Thanks

Some RENEWAL webhook events are missing (at least in Sandbox)

Hei there.We are getting closer and closer to finally launch the app :)But yesterday we found that not all RENEWAL events are send to our server.For one test purchase I got 8 Emails from Google (initial purchase, 6 renewing and cancelling)In the RC Dashboard I only see 3 events for this user, INITIAL_PURCHASE, RENEWAL, CANCELLATION.In a previous test I got 4 events from RC, this time there were 2 RENEWAL events inbetween INITIAL_PURCHASE and CANCELLATION.Why is this happening? And a Bonus question is about the BILLING_ISSUE and the CANCELLATION events. When the subscription ends, like in this case because the user did not pay anymore, shouldn’t there be both events fired? Or do they just show up as one event in the RC dashboard?

Apple’s subscriptions with Family Sharing require restore purchase logic?

Hi,I have an iOS App that requires users to log in and an in-app subscription to access to Premium features. Currently all available in-app subscriptions are individual and non-family shareable. I would like to start selling new in-app subscriptions that can be shared between all family members. My App currently does NOT implement any in-app subscription restore capability. In your documentation it says that there’s nothing to be done in our Apps to support subscriptions that are set as Family-shareable in AppStore Connect. My question is: is it required or not to implement the in-app subscriptions restore functionality in my App to enable another family member of the user that made the initial Family-shareable subscription purchase to access to the Premium features of my App?Thanks for your help.

How long before RevenueCat updates Products?

In the process of debugging some other issue (separate post), I removed all my Apple products from my app’s configuration in RevCat. However, the app is still loading these products. I expected the app to get a blank result or some exception when callingawait Purchases.getOfferings();(React Native / Expo app)Is my expectation wrong here? If not, is there some known delay between when I remove the products and when the apps stop getting these back?Thank you!

RENEWAL webhook not triggered after an upgrade (App Store)

Hello, We have 3 auto-renewable subscription products setup with a 30 day free introductory offer and we just went live with RevenueCat :) So there is a user who subscribed with the trial and upgraded after a few hours. We received the `PRODUCT_CHANGE` webhook with the correct `new_product_id`. However, we did not receive any webhook afterwards. We expected a `RENEWAL` webhook with the new product id as `product_id` as per the documentation here. Our webhook listener simply listens to all events and then poll the RevenueCat api and update the database at our end for the `product_id` which was sent from the webhook. It is important for our server to be up-to-date as the entitlements are handled by our server. Could someone let me know what can be done in a situation like this? I did happen to see this but not very sure if they are related. Thank you!

iOS app crashes after correcting an entitlement on RevCat

Question: Can any errors made on Revcat products possibly cause an app to crash upon initializing?Background story: We created new products for Black Friday and implemented them via Firebase Remote Config. After Black Friday was over, when I switched to our usual old lifetime subscription product via remote config, the purchase screen started crashing. Then I discovered that there was a missing entitlement (or an attachment) for that product and clicked on “attach”- it is interesting that how this product hasn’t been crashing before even though we’ve been using it all along for years.Anyways, after “correcting” the product, the issue was fixed, however, starting from that day, we started getting crashes on app initializing (it either crashes or the “initializing” screen stays forever).Note: There hasn’t been any updates on the app around that time. 60% of the crashes came from iOS 15 & iPadOS 15.
