React Native Android still make test purchases on production release

Hi everyone, I put my app in Production yesterday and on every device I tested the sandbox purchase is still being presented. Is there something I need to change to enter production mode? From what I saw in the documentation it was supposed to be something automatic, but I would like to know if there is something I can do to fix this. Thanks!

I am getting a DEVELOPER_ERROR error

I'm migrating from revenuecat version 4.3.0 to 6.0.0 and getting DEVELOPER_ERROR when trying to subscribe. The retrieval of the offers and the packages associated with my app work correctly, what could be the problem?

Potential Subscription Error due to pending developer release

Hello all, I recently released an update for an app I created and to ensure subscriptions worked I gave myself a promo code while the app was in pending developer release. Rather than using a promo code I made an actual subscription purchase which went through fine. My bank account was debited and everything was unlocked. I have now a few weeks later reinstalled the app and no subscription can be found when restoring subscriptions. It shows as active in my phone settings subscriptions and when I try to make a new subscription in my app the ios popup says I am already subscribed. Has anyone ever heard of an error where when making real purchases with a pending release it can prevent your receipt from validating thus making your Revenue Cat subscription not work?

How to do Apple monthly subscription grace period testing?

Hi there, I am testing a monthly renewing subscription and it’s going great with RevenueCat (thank you). I enabled the grace period on the subscription in the app store for sandbox only. I want to test it, to see what happens and what my app will do. I imagine, there will be one of these “Had a billing issue” events in the customer history and the subscription entitlement will remain active. But my question is, do I have to just wait for the sandbox to throw one of these billing issues into the mix and continually refresh the page waiting for it? It’s tedious to refresh the page because the sandbox data checkbox unticks itself also. Is there anyway to force a billing issue in order to force the grace period being triggered to be able to test this case? What I want to get out of the testing is: To see how long the grace period lasts in the sandbox environment. The one I set in the app store is for 16 days, but is the sandbox one also accelerated? To see with my own eyes, my app remainin

Prod Purchases in Android not getting reported to RC

I am seeing some purchases and trial that are not being reported to Revenuecat. For example, someone purchased the monthly option, and I can see it in Google Play, but not in RC, did not receive a webhook and I can’t see it in my customers by using the purchase ID. This also happened with a trial. Do this users have the entitlement? What is happening? Attached the images.

Duplicate sandbox transactions

The same sandbox transaction is sent to RevenueCat every time I close and open the app in the iOS simulator. Therefore I’m seeing it multiple times in the Overview: Is this normal when testing with the simulator?

Web Payment Alternatives Methods

Hi, We are planning to integrate a payment gateway to our app’s web version however Stripe isn’t supported in our country (Philippines). I can’t find relevant documentation for the SDK for any sort of postback or equivalents. Since we are already using RevenueCat, is there a way we can proceed without switching to another IAP platform entirely? I’d love to hear from you if you have any suggestions (aside from opening a Stripe Atlas account).

Can a User Purchase Two Things at Once?

Here’s my scenario: I would like for our users to be able to purchase a course (one-time, non-consumable purchase), and with their purchase they get a certain number of free months of a premium subscription for free. I’m sure that we can achieve the free months with a promo code. Ideally, the subscription would become auto-renewing after the free period has expired, but if that’s not possible, it would be okay to just have it expire, and then we could prompt users to renew it inside the app. The question is: how can we enable the user to essentially purchase both of these products with only one transaction? TIA! P.S. The app is being built in React Native for both iOS and Android, so solutions should ideally work with both the Apple and Google Play stores.

There's a cache that's slowing me to a grind

I’m working on integrating rc to my WebRTC signaling server and it’s hard. Last evening, I deleted all the users from revenuecat and flushed the server’s db. This morning I subscribed and got an event with the userId from yesterday 🪦 I’m using 💯capacitor-purchases 💯 but I don’t believe it has a cache.Are all caches disabled for sandbox users?

Whats the Best way to listen to an active Subscription

Hey RC community could someone please tell me the very Best way to check for an active subscription ? My Current implementation is customerInfo.entitlements.active.isNotEmpty at One Point my implementation was listening to the expiration date customerInfo.latestExpirationDate. then added 3 Days to it , which would give the user at least 3 days to have premium service, should in case there’s subscription verification delay from RC database, I implemented this because I have noticed that sometimes when I Hot Restart my App, 1 out of 50 times it loses Subscription and then it regain after another hot restart , this mostly happened when its time for the Sandbox to renew the subscription, by adding a Day or more to the current subscription latestExpirationDate. it give a lot of room for the server to correct itself and not make customer lose premium service. I don't know if this behavior only exist in debug mode. could someone please tell me, if I should be be worried about this in producti

Credentials need attention in Android Project

I previously added and enabled the Google Play Android Developer API to a Google project I created. I also created a service account and correctly set the permissions for app and financial access. However, I'm experiencing errors related to the Purchase API, and I'm unable to proceed with my next steps. Has anybody else had issue like this and managed to resolve them?Thanks :)

Can I use Revenuecat webhooks in development?

Some context I am creating an application that already has an existing web app. The web apps payments are done via Stripe. The mobile app I am building will have payments done via Revenuecat. I am setting a property on my user object to let me know which platform the user has used in order to pay for a subscription. Why am I doing this? If they have payed using stripe on web then I need to let them have access to all premium features on the mobile app. They should not have to pay for a subscription on the mobile app as well. Stripe makes this very easy with their Webhooks. When a user subscribes, a Webhook event gets sent to the backend that tells the user object to update the subscriptionPlatform to “web”. This way I know that the user has subscribed on web, should get access to all premium features on mobile too without duplicate subscribing, and should be directed to the web app to handle anything to do with their subscription. Stripe also allows all of this to be tested in developm

How to get current active/trail user count?

Hi all, I have noticed a number of apps in the iOS store that are able to show me how many active subscribers, by simply logging in. They can even display them on widgets! How are they able to get this number with me just logging in? Are they using some call in the REST API? I can’t seem to figure it out! Any information would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to make a small app to track my active count on my LaMetric clock. Many thanks, Dan

Expected behavior for Testflight testing

Hi all, When testing monthly subscriptions for an IOS app in Testflight, I have created 30+ test users via gmail accounts. Each time I have a new user create an account on my app and subscribe, the Sandbox data in Revenuecat switches all the Customer info to that new ID (uid in Firebase), including backdating activity. Is that expected behavior, or should each new account (aka new firebase UID) have it’s own identity in the Revenuecat Sandbox, so I can accurately test? Here is some example history for the current user. Does this look normal? I did have the user logout of their app for less than 24 hours but they did not “opt out” of renewal. Also see the transfer of the subscription. Is that how the testing works?

Is it possible to send webhooks to multiple endpoints?

We have multiple developers on the team that are working on our mobile IAP implementation, which means they all have to receive webhooks on their local dev machines to test things. So far we have been managing this by just changing the webhook URL as different people test, as well as having multiple RC apps to test with. This can be pretty cumbersome because we can’t duplicate apps, we have to create new ones fresh and go through the process of copying the existing configuration from the old app. It would be so much easier if we could just configure multiple endpoints that all webhooks get sent to. Is this possible, or something that we could get added to your backlog? Thanks.

Test redeem offer codes in sandbox environment

Hello, I’ve managed to invoke presentCodeRedemptionSheet() inside the react native app, and did successfully setup the subscription offer codes in the app store. However when we try to redeem the code, native modal says that the offer has already expired even though expiration date is in the future. Is it possible to test the subscription offer codes in the sandbox? thanks

How to update "total spent" for select customers when amount is wrong

We implemented iOS offer codes, but not with revenueCat properly. So now subscriptions are being read, but the total paid / revenue is $0, when in reality it’s not. Is there a way to custom edit individual entries?

Implementing Developer Determined Offer with Android

I’m trying to apply a developer-determined offer in the app.Using react-native-purchases 6.0.0. I’m able to fetch the Offerings using `Purchases.getOfferings()` and I can see the discount as an option in what is returned. packageType: 'MONTHLY', product: { discounts: [ { cycles: 12, periodNumberOfUnits: 1, priceString: '$2.99', period: 'P1M', price: 2.9899999999999998, periodUnit: 'MONTH', identifier: '12_month_25_percent' } ], However, I am unsure on how to then apply this offer.purchasePackage and purchaseSubscriptionOption each don’t seem to offer an option to apply the discount.purchaseDiscountedProduct and purchaseDiscountedPackage say they only apply only to iOS. So how should I apply a developer determined offer in android when making a purchase? https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/google-play-offers#eligibility-criteria

I use play Store id instead of RevenueCat id. Is it corect?

Hello my subscription id is lotto_world_pro and base id is lotto-world-pro-monthly. in revenuecat my id for this product is lotto_world_pro:lotto-world-pro-monthly. When i use the code below in flutter if i use revenuecat id i receive a product not found error but if i use just lotto_world_pro(sub id) it works well and revenuecat sees my transactions. Am i doing it right? Shouldn’t the revenuecat id sholud work? Future<void> _getAndroidProductsSubs() async { try { androidSubs = await Purchases.getProducts( [ 'lotto_world_pro', ], type: PurchaseType.subs, ); } on PlatformException catch (e) { debugPrint(e.toString()); } }
