I can't retrieve offering in Android

I’ve already followed every steps in the documentation and I’m able to retrieve the offering lists in iOS device but not in Android device. The offering is always empty in Android Emulator for some reason.Here is a few information that I already checked my self.1. My App is already published and currently it’s available for Closed Testing in Play Console.2. I already got all checkmarks in the Valid credentials(screenshot below) 3. Here is how I implement it in my code class PurchaseApi {static Future init() async {late String _apiKey; if (Platform.isAndroid) {_apiKey = "Google API from ReveneuCat";} else if (Platform.isIOS) {_apiKey = "IOS API from ReveneuCat";} else if (Platform.isMacOS) {_apiKey = "IOS API from ReveneuCat";} else {_apiKey = "Google API from ReveneuCat";} await Purchases.configure(PurchasesConfiguration(_apiKey));} static Future<List<Offering>> fetchOffers() async {try {final offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings();final current = offerings.current; ret

Sunsetting existing app (Android and iOS)

Hi all, We have an app in both iOS and Android stores and we use RC for consolidating our subscriptions.There are currently few thousand paying subscribers (both Android, iOS and Stripe). The decision has been made to sunset the application and migrate the users to another service.We are looking at;Removing ability to purchase annual subscription. Users can still purchase and use monthly. Stop existing annual subscribers from renewing (is that possible - what is the best way?) In the next 12-14 months - slowly nudge users to another service/app.I guess my question is;What is the best way of doing this? Is it possible to refund users earlier - or at least set their subscriptions to non-renewable (iOS/Android/Stripe). Stripe we seem to have a full control. Are there any other gotchas? To remove the app - do we simply unpublish it from the stores? Will it automatically cancel subscriptions of existing users and refund them? Thanks heaps! Luke

Cross platform subscription management with offers

Hi,Firstly, thank you for providing this framework and documentation, it makes integration of subscriptions a breeze. We are using Revenue Cat - React Native SDK.I have a scenario that I am not sure how to handle, was thinking if you can provide any suggestions.We have a web product that uses Stripe for subscription management. The user can signup for a product and gets an introductory free trial of 1 month. Then after that 1 month they are prompted to renew, the can choose to renew by paying, or also can extend their trial by adding another offer code (promotional offer).Lets say, the user now installs iOS app during the first the trial month (that was issued by the web platform). On the app after the month, we were planning to show them a screen to renew the subscription and show the option to enter the promo code. But having implemented this and going through the promo offer purchase flow I get the error that “The User is ineligible for that action.”. I think this has to do with the

You're currently subscribed to this.

We just released our app.  1 user reported this issue where they subscribed, but then see this error message: I don’t know why this happens.  Here is my flow inside Expo/React Native app: Wrap app in providers <PurchaseProvider setPurchasesChecked={setPurchasesChecked}> <AuthProvider> <Stack/> </AuthProvider></PurchaseProvider>   Inside the PurchaseProvider getCustomerInfo: useEffect( function initPurchaseConfig() { const initialize = async () => { try { Purchases.setLogLevel(Purchases.LOG_LEVEL.VERBOSE); await Purchases.configure({ apiKey: APIKEY }); const info = await Purchases.getCustomerInfo(); const { isActive } = info?.entitlements.active[entitlementName] || {}; setIsActive(!!isActive); } catch (e) { setMessage(['error', (e as Error).message]); } finally { setIsReady(true); setPurchasesChecked(true); } }; initialize(

Subscriptions Cross Platform: iOS, Android and Stripe

We are a subscription app, made in unity project, that generates iOS and Android apps.We also allow the user to create a subscription via web using Stripe.Currently, we store Stripe’s data in our Users DB and when the users logs in, we check against our DB to see if the user has a valid subscription.For Android and iOS we use a custom App User Id, which is the device/install ID.Our intention is to start identyfying users with our internal user_id (associated to the login credentials) and unify subscriptions via rcat to work cross platform, allowing a user that purchase via any platform, to login in any other device/platform and enjoy the subscription access.What would you recommend as the best way to proceed? How can we logIn a new App User ID for both new and old customers for this to work smoothly?Any help, use cases you know, is welcome!

outstanding purchases with coins

greetings I have an android application with the kotlin language, and I want to implement pending purchases to deliver coins in a transaction with a slow card, I have already tried several similar sdk, and all have the same problem, that pending transactions to deliver coins do not work due, most are only focused on subscriptions, I would like to know if you can implement purchases of coins and if you can deliver the coins after the transaction is completed later.If you have an example of how to handle coin delivery for pending transactions I would appreciate it, since they all have the same problem.

Can "Purchases.configure()" consume all consumable products in Android?

Hi. I have integrated RevenueCat to my iOS version of my app and am using it with satisfaction. Therefore, I am considering using it to the Android version of my app. My app for Android version has a premium version for lifetime access for almost 10 years. Currently, I am no longer selling lifetime access as I have changed to selling only subscription plans. However, because any promise to users is important, I should continue to provide lifetime access to users who have purchased the product. My app does not have an app login system. So, I have been providing access by referring to PlayStore purchase history. After testing, it seems that RevenueCat's Purchases.configure() consumes all one-time products. This means that if the user reinstalls the app or changes devices, they will no longer be able to access their lifetime access. This is because RevenueCat's anonymous ID would be changed in these situations. The workaround I am considering is to use RevenueCat to process subscription p

Offer code accepted by the App Store but Revenuecat did't see it and the user has no entitlement

My app is built in Flutter. As suggested by the revenuecat documentation, I’m redirecting the users to the app store to redeem offer code.In some tests I made, the offer code was accepted by the app store but revenuecat didn’t recognize it and the user is seen as not paying.I’ve setup all the settings required bu revenuecat, including the “In-app purchase key configuration”.Not even “addPurchaserInfoUpdateListener” is called after the redemption of the offer code.

Revenue Cat Data Export: Apple Store Billing Issue detected

HiI have been working with the Revenue Cat Export and I am trying to understand how the billing issues detected works on the Apple Store (it appears to be different to the Play Store).The flow that I think is happening is:Customer reaches end of subscription Payment attempt is made for the next subscription period Payment fails The column Billing_Issue_at is updated for the last paid subscription row and no new row is created.Point 4 is important as it means that lines flagged as billing issues would be legitimate transactions, and not failed transactions.The customer goes into dunning for 60 days. If the customer pays a new line is added to the export  If the customer doesn’t pay then nothing happens, there is no unsubscribe flag added to the export. After 60 days it can be assumed that the customer subscription has expiredIs this correct?

I updated my Google Play store to include an offer for 3 day free trial:3 day trial in Google PlayHowever, I do not see it in the `offering` of product or indicated anywhere in the  `introPhase` or `freePhase` as they both are `null`. How long does it take for subscription offer phases to appear? I tried adding a tag too, but this also is not being found.

New EU Data Privacy Framework support

Hello!In terms of data, the US ist not considered safe in the EU (because of the patriot act). Therefore there is no easy legal basis to use RevenueCat (US based). Now there is a new “Data Privacy Framework” between US and EU, but RevenueCat has to self certify for this. AWS, Google, … all of them switch to this legal basis. Does RevenueCat consider this?Best regardsData Privacy Framework:https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

Am I looking at correct documentation page? Any sample code for Flutter? Flow: user makes purchase without any external authentication on iOS, using system provided authentication to App Store and making purchase; I need this <user> to be able to access Firebase as an authenticated user. Thanks

Questions about PRO plan payments

hello. I have a question about the payment amount for the Pro plan.It's my understanding that 1% is paid monthly if you make more than $2500 in revenue.Does the 1% payment include the $2500? Or would it be 1% on the amount over 2500?Ex) 1. if I make $3000 in revenue in a month I pay 1% on the amount over $2500, which is $500. => 5$2. if I earn $3000 in a month, I pay 1% on $3000. => 30$

Show different paywall for each contries

Hello, I’m currently setting up the `Paywalls` feature and so far is coming along really nice. However, I can’t find a way to ship different versions of the Paywall for different countries. For example, I’d like to show a set of features (that the subscription would unlock) different in the United States vs the rest of the World. Is this something possible? I think as of now, the only way is creating a different offering and run an experiment, however I’m already running another experiment. Thank you in advance!

MacOS App Sandbox Subscription and Purchase stopped working suddenly..

I checked the status page, it doesn’t mention any issues, but all the MacOS sandbox subscription and purchase keep failing: "There was a problem with the App Store. This could also indicate the purchase dialog was cancelled." The same code was still working yesterday, now they all stopped working suddenly, is that the issue from Revenuecat or Apple?  Anyone has the same problem?

How does the app store integration work from a high level perspective?

Upon reading the documentation and the various integrations and features that it offers, it is not very clear to me if this is primarily a wrapper for interacting with the stores (Google Play/App Store), or if this is a whole other platform that I would have to manually configure and add products.Related questions:- where do I get the money from in-app products sold via this SDK? (the app stores or this platform?)- how are products managed? (directly from the app stores, or synced with this platform, or manually?)I would like to have a better overview before I get started with investing a lot of time coding this SDK into my app (I am evaluating the perspectives for migrating from another cordova plugin which had some complicated breaking changes that involve a lot of refactoring as well)

How to get around "Google Service Account credentials JSON is invalid"?

I have been following the instructions here https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/creating-play-service-credentials and downloaded the the .json file in step 2. I am attempting to “Enter the Credentials JSON in RevenueCat” in step 4, though I’m concerned I’m doing it wrong.  The UI seems to expect a single line of text, and the .json that Google Cloud generates is quite large.  If this is the proper way to use Revenue Cat, this is janky as all hell. Anyway, I have taken the .json contents into a plain text editor, joined all lines, and removed all spaces (as per recommendations in other community posts), but when I attempt to upload the .json, I see this error message:  (Image reads: “The provided Google Service Account credentials JSON is invalid.”) This seems to be an immediate failure (many community posts seem to involve long wait times for credentials to become active or something).  There is no help for figuring out if I’m adding the json contents incorrectly, or if so, what’s wrong f
