Listen for subscription life cycle

There is a way to know if the subscription has expired without doing an operation like Purchases.getPurchaserInfo ()I understand that Purchases.addPurchaserInfoUpdateListener detects when a purchase is made, or whatever but not when a subscription expires.I use Flutter.If you have any advice on how to do it I would be grateful.Thanks

What happens when you add an entitlement to an existing subscription?

We are working through our integration with Revenue Cat for in-app subscriptions.  We’re planning to use webhooks to keep our database up to date with users’ entitlements.  What happens if we add an entitlement to an existing subscription?  Will the webhooks be called for existing users?  If we update the user status with the rest API, will the new entitlements be reflected in that response? Thanks!!

Example of Package / Offering / Entitlement shape

I’m in the process of writing React-Native components that should display the details of a package. For this reason I am interested in knowing which fields are available on a Package object when received via an offering - so that I can model my data correctly. I have looked through the documentation and searched through community posts, but have not found what I’m looking for. Is it not available or have I just not succeeded in searching properly? I think all developers working with RevenueCat would benefit from having some kind of documentation for the shape of packages, offerings, and entitlements - so that we can code without actually accessing these data points in our projects.

Duplication of the purchase window on iOS

I had noticed this problem in my test app, but since it never showed up after my first try, I didn't give it any thought.Now that I have entered my production app I have noticed that the problem has recurred and therefore I am asking for help to fix it.Explanation of the problem.I state that I have tested the thing with iOS for now.When I try to purchase a renewable subscription, the first time I do it with a new device that has never purchased this subscription, after completing the purchase, the iOS window for purchase is presented to me again. If I proceed with the purchase again after all it goes smoothly. Even all future purchases have no more problems.I would like to understand if I made a mistake in the programming, where, however, I followed the example given by you to the letter, and in fact everything works perfectly after the first time.This can be unpleasant for the user since it can give the impression that he has paid twice and since mine is a subscription that automatica

Is MRR tracked per app or account?

As title says, does RevenueCat combine all MRR under the same account to charge a fee when it reaches a limit?

Custom purchase integration

Hello, we are integrating with a third party app that is going to pay us per use of their members, for example, each time a user opens our the app we get paid x dollars.What is the best way of implementing such a system where RevenueCat can account for the revenue?My solution would only account for access: 1. Add a promotional entitlement via REST API to these members (so they get access to the features)Is there any alternative to get the value of the payments back to RevenueCat?

Failure to restore purchases made using local StoreKit testing

At WWDC 2020, Apple introduced the ability to do local StoreKit testing in Xcode (that is, testing without connecting to App Store servers and without using sandbox accounts). I would like to use that local StoreKit testing to test restoring RevenueCat-enabled purchases after an app re-install.Unfortunately, even though such a restore succeeds when testing on a device using a sandbox account, that restore always fails when performed using local StoreKit testing in Xcode (either on a real device or on the iOS Simulator).My question: does RevenueCat support the restoration of purchases after an app re-install when local StoreKit testing in Xcode is being used to make and subsequently restore the purchases?Here are the steps I performed in the effort to test the restore of purchases using local StoreKit testing.  Note: I have tried these steps both on a real device and in the iOS Simulator, and the result is the same in each case. I set up local StoreKit testing in Xcode with a StoreKit c

Re-purchase after App delete and reinstall with anonymous user

I have an app that has been available in the App Store for sometime.  Many users have made a life time purchase to be ad free.I now wish to convert that payment to a yearly subscription.I have been doing some testing with a prototype app after following the tutorial by Code With Chris.The life time purchase will no longer be an option once I have updated to subscriptionIf a life time purchasers deletes then reinstalls the app after the update they will see the ‘Go Ad Free’ button and the ‘Restore Purchases’ button available to them.Question - I want to understand the behaviour when one of these users taps the ‘Go Ad Free’ button instead of restore.In my testing the App Store response does recognise that the user has already purchased life time Ad Free status and appears to charge them for a subscription.  Although the subscription doesn’t appear in the sandbox recent transactions so maybe there is no charge?  It would not be clear to the user though.Sorry for the long question.  I hope

iOS Free trial + offer code?

hey folks,we’re facing a bit of a conundrum:On iOS, we offer a 7 day free trial as an introductory offer. However, for some users that come from channel partners we’ve created (iOS 14) offer codes that give users either a 2 week or 1 month free trial. For these offer codes, we’ve set "No, this code will replace the introductory offer”.A few times now, a user who was supposed to use the offer code, instead redeemed the introductory offer 7 day free trial. After they do this, we give them the offer code and when they redeem it, Apple adds the introductory offer 7 day free trial to the 1 month free trial and so they get ~37 day free trial.Is there any way for me to have it change from the 7 day trial to the 1 month free trial instead, instead of going to the 1 week + 1 month?Also, users report that after they redeem the offer code (after initially redeeming the introductory 7 day trial offer), in their Apple ID subscription settings, they see “plan automatically renews at $X.XX/month star

Mac Catalyst app "stuck" with the RevenueCat app user ID of a single sandbox test user

I would like to know how to reset a RevenueCat-enabled Mac Catalyst app's in-app purchase state so that I can test the app's in-purchases with different sandbox users and with local StoreKit testing. Below is a more in-depth description of the issue I’ve had and how I've (so far unsuccessfully) tried to resolve it.(Note: in what follows, references to "app user IDs" are always to the anonymous app user IDs that RevenueCat automatically provides.)Prior to the introduction of local StoreKit testing for in-app purchases, it was useful to have multiple sandbox accounts to test in-app purchases (since a developer could use any one sandbox account only once to test a particular IAP— as you probably know, there's no way to "roll back" a purchase in a single sandbox account to try testing it again with that account).When I wanted to test an in-app purchase with a new sandbox user on the same iOS / iPadOS device on which a previous sandbox user was logged in, the following procedure reliably re

App like Udemy: selling courses. How to define products?

I have an app that sell courses as video lectures written in flutter. My app is rejected from Apple Store because I suppose to use in-app purchases instead of an external payment method. Each course has its own price. I’m a little bit rusty about in-app purchases. There is a lot term here with revenuecat: products, entitlements, offerings. Do I need these all? Some courses are non-consumable and has lifetime access.Some courses are subscriptions and has a one time limit. I have a course detail page. When I enter here, I want to check if I bought this course. If yes, I’ll show all videos. If not I want to show a buy button. The prices, id and type(subscription or non-consumable) will come from my rest api. Should I create product id for each course with these information like $courseId1_tier_1, $courseId2_tier_3,  $courseId3_tier_1 or I should create product ids in apple and in google and then share the same products ids with rest and rest api should return product id when course detail

Testing purchases on iOS simulator best practices

I state that both with iOS Device and Android Device everything works fine. As for the Android emultor I can regularly test the in app purchase (emulators with Google play services), with the iOS emulator (with iOS 14.0) I have difficulty making it work with the storeKit. I followed the explanations to configure it but it shows that I have done something wrong. One step that I didn't understand is that of duplicating the Configuration.storekit. Why is it necessary to duplicate it if you can select the first one in the next step? If you have any advice on mistakes that other users have made previously that prevented the emulator from working properly with storekit, I welcome it.

Which App User ID is used as alias?

Hi, We see different behaviors regarding aliases and we would like to know more about how it works.Here are the different behavior that we see:1- If we set a user id, sometimes the alias is set as the App User ID, sometimes the App User ID stays the RCAnonymous id but the alias is there when we look at the user aliases. What is the logic?2- If we set multiple aliases, how RevenueCat decide which one to use as the App User ID? Thank you,
