This only happens to one of my apps, my first app persist entitlements until it’s uninstalled, however my new app that has an one-time-purchase, grants the entitlements after payment but when the app is restarted, the entitlements are all gone despite the payment going  through, I can re-purchase it too. Is it cause im using the same service account json for both apps? The code shouldnt be wrong cause im using the same on both apps and the first one works.What could be wrong? I DID notice that I forgot to put the new app in the service account permissions, which i thought would fix the problem, but I still have the same problem.

For what I could understand from reading the docs, RevenueCat has two different methods by which we can identify the user.One method is by calling Purchases.login(). The other method is by calling Purchases.setup().What are the differences between these two methods of identifying the user?At first I thought I should call Purchases.setup() in my app initialization, and the login() method should be user right after I authenticate my user in my application, but it looks like I misundersdood it, because I am having some weird errors of unexpected transfers between anonymous and authenticated UIDs.The correct way then is to use both of these two methods but only after I know which UID to apply to the user? And the setup() method should be called only once, and after it has been called then I should only call the login method?

Hi,If Ive an auto-renewable subscription and uninstall the app. after reinstalling again the sheet to subscribe pops up. Is that correct? And if you assumed again click on subscribe that the money isnt debited?And when Im testing, the subscription of my app isnt displayed in the Apple ID under Subscription. Is this all correct and is this only due to testing?

I have a customer that converted from a trial for $0, and it’s renewing at $0, and just got a billing error but still the subscription will renew next month? what is going on here? 

I have added multiple subscription prices to App Store Connect so I can switch between them using the RevenueCat current offering to do some A/B testing on prices.But this got me thinking...When a user views their subscriptions in their App Store account, they can make changes like cancel or upgrade/downgrade a subscription.Will this list offer the user all the available subscription prices? Can a user go to this page then select the lowest priced subscription to change to before a free trial expires then get it for the lower price?There doesn’t seem to be a way to tell ASC which subscriptions to show as not/available.

Hello,I have an app that is live on the App Store and the Google Play Store. We have a paywall where users can subscribe to access our app, either subscribing to a monthly plan or a semi-annual plan. We are now wanting to raise our prices, but want to keep the existing prices for those who are currently subscribed. I read online in the RevenueCat docs that you recommend creating new products as opposed to increasing prices of existing products. That makes sense because we want our revenue data on RC to be accurate, and our product names have the price in them. I know how to create new products, but my main concern is that on iOS, users will be able to change their subscription to the old "grandfathered" pricing through the Subscriptions section of the settings app. Will that be the case? Or is there a way to stop users from moving to a cheaper subscription within the same entitlement/subscription group. Thanks in advance for your help! I have attached a screensho

I see the option to override an offering on the customer page. I’m assuming this doesn’t change the offering the customer has with Apple/Google?  The user case I'm tried to cater for is the following: Existing subscriber completes a challenge in app. We reward them with a promotion on their subscription (e.g. 30 days free).From what I've read you can use iOS offer codes, but its messy. Wondering if anyway to setup a promo in RevCat then target specific user IDs by overriding their offering. Likely not but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks all 

I am currently building an app in Flutter using RevenueCat for the in-app-purchases.I now want to know for each user, if he has already made an in-app-purchase, since I have trial subscriptions activated. I need this information, because I want to adjust the UI in case a user registers with a new account that I haven't seen in RevenueCat so far. In this case, he won't be able to use the trial subscription again, since Google/Apple prevent this.I am using a custom ID for every user in my app and I use this ID for RevenueCat aswell, one could just create a new account and get a different user id. Ass far as I understand, in this case, this looks like a "new" user to RevenueCat which has no subscriptions. I think the solution would have to check the GooglePlay-Account for an already purchased subscriptionSo far I have not found a way to find out, if a user has already made an in-app-purchase

The App Store account deletion rule references “guest accounts” as also requiring deletion. Should I assume that “guest” would be analogous to RevenueCat’s “anonymous users” that are automatically generated in RevenueCat? And therefore that these anonymous accounts would be subject to the same deletion rule even though there is no personal user information linked to that id?If so, and I wanted to manually delete the account upon user request, what would be the best practice method of obtaining the anonymous user id so that they could be manually deleted? (I have no server for the app). Thank you!

I have implemented consumable in-app purchases with revenue cat and wanted to use the anonymous ID (“$RCAnonymousID:…) to keep track of the purchases a user has made. This seems to work fine until a user reinstalls the app or I upload a new version of the app. I call the restore function to get previous purchases but if I check the ID with the originalRevenueCatID method I get a different ID if I reinstall the appI tested this with TestFlight (iOs) and reinstalled the same version of the app after I purchased something but the purchase is gone and also the ID is something else. Is this because of TestFlight maybe and it should work if I publish the app? Or is this generally not possible?I basically wanted to not force the user to create an account and still be able to keep track of in-app purchases across multiple versions of the same app and of course re installationsHope this is the right place to ask. Would appreciate any kind of advice!

Hi,I am making an app where users can purchase the same subscription multiple times. Is this possible?

Hi all,Im trying to get iOS Code Redemption working in flutter and having some issues.So as per the doc (not flutter specific, so following the API doc mixed with the swift example), and I go ahead and call: await Purchases.presentCodeRedemptionSheet();And then….. nothing happens? Is there anything else that needs to be done in the code after the sheet is dismissed to detect that a purchase has been made via the code redemption sheet? It’s really hard to test as this as it seems as though it cant be tested in a simulator or in debug mode on a real device - so I’m doing it ‘live’ and not getting any really good logging.The “Codes” are attached to an App Store IAP that I do have configured in revenuecat / has an entitlement….I’ve tried to re-initialise the purchaserinfo object & check for entitlements again and its still not triggering in the way it should if an entitlement is detected. Running purchase

My Xcode app has RevenueCat Purchases.configure(withAPIKey: "myApiKey") which runs fine in a device from Xcode. The same app crashes in TestFlight after 2 minutes even if left alone. I commented out Purchases.configure and it stopped crashing in TestFlight. I need help.

Hey guys. Apparently there has been an update to the Google Play Developer Program Policy where customers “must be able to easily cancel their subscription from within the app.”I was wondering what the best approach for this was. I’m under the impression that cancelling a subscription in-app isn't possible yet? If I’m wrong could someone point me in the right direction?I did come across this thread that says how redirect the user manage their subscription? Does any one know if this method would suffice?

Hello:We have subscriptions setup in our app, but we want to add a consumable product to give the user the same entitlement that he will get when subscription for 1 month, but this time it will be for 1 day only.is there a way to do this in Revenuecat, and is there a place in the documentation that we can follow to setup this kind of process?Our app uses Firebase as backend, and Revenuecat Firbase extension is added to the projectThank you

Our iOS app stopped receiving responses from RevenueCat sometime in the past week. No code was changed on our end and our live app is no longer displaying any subscription options.This call is simply not returning successfully, nor is the failure block called. It doesn't matter what "offering" is - I’ve tried several of our offerings that are registered with RC and that have worked before. Any ideas what could have broken? This has completely broken in-app purchases for us. subscriptions?.fetchPackages(for: offering, onSuccess: { [weak self] (packages) in            let sortedPackages = packages.sorted(by: { $0.product.price.compare($1.product.price) == .orderedDescending })             ...             //this block is not called                                }, onFailure: { (error) in            //this block is not called         })The only thing I see logged in the console is “DEBUG:

Services like Stripe require a secret key and a server to make a purchase. If it was possible to do entirely client-side, wouldn’t Stripe do it be default? 

My ionic cordova project can no longer run on IoS since last Thursday and I have no idea why this is happening.When testing the Xcode, the code no longer processes the PurchasesCoreSwift-Info.plist, with results that the entire Purchase folder remains empty and it fails as it can not import from the Purchases.h file. We have a podfile that installs the PurchasesHybridCommon as usual (it might have something to do with that, as we were upgrading the Cocoapods when the error occured, unfortunatelly setting it back to previous versions hasn’t solved the issue.) Is there anyone else who experiences this problem? Or can offer advice where to look?

ContextI’m building a referrals feature that gives users 30 days free access to our subscription. If they’re currently on a trial, it’ll extend it by 30 days. For example, if you have a 7 day trial, it’ll extend to 37 days. ProblemWhen I extend someone’s trial, I don’t see a Revenue cat event for that subscription update. Stripe sends a customer.subscription.updated event, so everything’s fine there.My hunch is Revenuecat doesn’t support this edge case, which would be very unfortunate :/ Any recommended solutions or workarounds? Seems like a core use case to update users when anything on the subscription changes.

We have a monthly subscription in Apple and Google which has 1 introductory offer (i.e. 1 week free trial). Is it possible to create a second introductory offer (e.g. 2 week free trial) on the same product? Ive noticed its possible the create the offer on app store connect but how does the app know which introductory offer to display to the user? We do not want to offer the 2 week free trial to everyone.

My android app is already published in production track and I still cant manage to retrieve offerings. The ids on RevenueCat are identical to the ids in Play Store, they acre active and i’ve waited more than 36 hours. Here is the log:D/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ Vending Offerings from cacheD/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ Checking if cache is stale AppInBackground falseD/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ Offerings cache is stale, updating from network in foregroundD/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): 😻 Offerings updated from network.D/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ API request started: GET /subscribers/%24RCAnonymousID%3A2ac7bf44a8bd48f192ec7584b895dcab/offeringsD/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ API request completed with status: GET /subscribers/%24RCAnonymousID%3A2ac7bf44a8bd48f192ec7584b895dcab/offerings 200D/[Purchases] - DEBUG(14514): ℹ️ Requesting products from the store with identifiers: prazosprocessuais-planobasico-teste1, t

 How to solve this "Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version", Submit for review always disable , and already submitted and published my app, the subscription plans is not fatch for the users because it's rejected it. now I cannot submit it with the app. When i search they asked to add the subscription on an In App Purchases section which it's not there any more, It was only at the first time, now not.    

I am testing out the sample app “Purchase_tester” and getting an error in the following part of the code highlight in orange.  class _PurchaseButton extends StatelessWidget {final Package package;const _PurchaseButton({Key? key, required this.package}) : super(key: key); @overrideWidget build(BuildContext context) => ElevatedButton(onPressed: () async {try {final purchaserInfo = await Purchases.purchasePackage(package);} on PlatformException catch (e) {final errorCode = PurchasesErrorHelper.getErrorCode(e);if (errorCode == PurchasesErrorCode.purchaseCancelledError) {print('User cancelled');} else if (errorCode ==PurchasesErrorCode.purchaseNotAllowedError) {print('User not allow to purchase');} else if (errorCode == PurchasesErrorCode.paymentPendingError) {print('Payme
