When does a payment (subscription) made on google play appear on the Revenuecat screen?

I was recently troubleshooting a customer-reported issue related to a SUBSCRIBER_ALIAS event and I ran across this post stating that the SUBSCRIBER_ALIAS event had been deprecated and has not been sent “for awhile now.”However, that reply was dated 25 February 2022, and the SUBSCRIBER_ALIAS event I was troubleshooting was received much more recently, on 2 June 2022. So apparently SUBSCRIBER_ALIAS events *are* still being sent?I’m currently trying to update our handling of SUBSCRIBER_ALIAS events to account for a change to “original_app_user_id” in the same event -- something we had not accounted for (and the root cause of this customer reported issue.)But the aforementioned post, and the

I mean the case when the one user (team owner) is paying money for a few other (members), in other words, in other words, all team members shared one common (group) subscription, and only the owner pays for it.  I'm new with the RevenueCat and didn't find this feature in the Doc, so decided to ask for being totally sure. 

Context: i have an app live on google play.  everything works fine  i add a suffix to package name to create another flavor of the app  i publish this new app to closed testing and add a list of testers  i create new app on Revenue cat (same package name as my new flavor)  i add the same Service Account credentials JSON for new app as the one for existing live app where everything works fine  i added 2 products in revenueCat for this new app. the Identifier for each product is matching the Product ID on google play for that new app subscriptions. Each product has the same entitlement as existing app products. all are sharing the same entitlement.  I am checking the Debug info for this new app:  when i am checking the logs, i can see [ Products request finished for : {my products} Retrieved skuDetai

Hello Revenue Cat Community. I have an internal test track of a Google Play app, with a RevenueCat managed subscription (anonymous, no app login). I was under the impression that if a user bought a subscription on Device A , and then downloaded the app on Device B (and logs into his Google Play account on that device) - then the subscription should only work on one of the devices. Currently I am testing with 2 physical devices - and it doesn’t seem to matter which device I bought the subscription on, and which device I use to access the app: the subscription works on both of them.Is my assumption wrong then? Subscriptions will work on any device - so long as the user is logged into the correct Google Play account? (and does this logic hold for Apple?) Thanks.

I am testing a scenario where the user bought a subscription with an iPhone and tries to manage his subscription using an Android device. RevenueCat’s SDK gives me this link to manage the subscriptions: purchaseInfo.managementURL = https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.When my app lauches this URL, the user is sent to Apple’s Music website, which instructs the user to install Apple Music app.I installed Apple Music app as per Apple’s instructions, and tried to manage the Apple subscriptions from an Android device again. This time my app launches https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions and Apple’s Music Android app is opened, but it stays in a never ending loading animation, so I can’t access my subscriptions from this 

I have introduced monthly and yearly subscriptions using RevenueCat SDK in my app. My app including these products has been approved, but the subscription products are still “In Review” status for nearly a week.Is this a regular delay according to your experience? Do you think I should keep waiting?I am concerned because my app offers these non-available products to the customers. Not a good user experience.It seems I cannot revoke these subscription products from review in the AppStore Connect interface. I wonder if it is possible to revoke them and submit them again, if it helps?I wrote to the AppStore support, they replied that they will let the reviewers know. But nothing changed. The waiting silently continues. I keep checking and seeing “In Review” status with no feedback or update.Thank you.

Hello!BackgroundWe’ve noticed that we now typically receive a BILLING_ISSUE webhook followed by a CANCELLATION webhook with a reason of BILLING_ERROR when a customer encounters billing problems in the App Store/Play Store.The webhook documentation does not really tell me what the practical difference is between these two:BILLING_ISSUE:There has been a problem trying to charge the subscriber. This does not mean the subscription has expired.CANCELLATION w/ BILLING_ERROR:Apple, Amazon, or Google could not charge the subscriber using their payment method.The CANCELLATION event with cancellation reason BILLING_ERROR is fired as soon as the billing issue has been detected. The E

I have a web application as main and a mobile application, Apple also forced us to give the option to charge for apple within the app, we are implementing.But I'm in doubt about his signature at apple after his signature expires due to payment failure, Apple says that it goes into a Billing Retry mode and that it stays 60 days trying to charge…Does this mode only enter when the grace period has been enabled or does it activate the same? My question is, there was no payment, a billing_issue event came, then an expiration event, and a cancellation event comes right after expiration, or does it only come cancellation after 60 days?I'm confused as to how the apple subscription is after it expires due to lack of payment, if it is active, then I enable my client to contract outside (web) with our means of payment and Apple is still trying 60 days, there could be two methods charging together, ours and Apple's... Can I only enable customers to contract outsid

I’m trying to delete two unused products (the ones without entitlements in my account). However, when I try to do this, I get a message saying that they can’t be deleted because there are transactions using that product.However, no matter where I check (lists, charts, sandbox purchases, etc.) I can’t see any record of subscriptions using those products. How can I determine what transactions are being referenced so I can successfully delete the products?Separately, I ordinarily wouldn’t care about having unused products, but I’ve been experiencing an issue where I see [Purchases] - WARN: 🍎‼️ Invalid Product Identifiers messages for those two products appear while testing my iOS app on a physical device.I receive 50+ of these messages within ~1 second, memory usage for the app spikes from 30MB to >2GB, and the entire app crashes. What is going on here and how can I resolve this issue? I’m very concerned that my users could be experiencin

After subscription expires due to non-payment on IOS  can I create a different grace period (example of 3 days) and control it on my own or if it is expired at Apple, the customer really must not have access to my Application and Apple prohibits it if they have access for a few more days even though the grace period has not been enabled from native Apple?

How many days before renewal (expiration date)can a BILLING_ISSUE event come from Apple?In Apple's documentation they say that they try to see if there is a problem with a payment with the customer 10 days before and 24 hours beforetry to renew the customer's subscription several times.I was in doubt if I can receive a BILLING_ISSUE 10 days before that period or if it would only be within 24 hours before.

Hi,  We already have a Stripe webhook endpoint that does preprocessing and database updates for the webhooks listed here among others on our Express server. Is there a way to `forward` that webhook that Stripe sent our server to RevenueCat once our updates are done rather than having Stripe send RevenueCat the webhook directly? Inside those webhooks from Stripe am I simply able to call the following endpoint and the subscription status would automatically updated in RevenueCat, thereby triggering a RevenuCat webhook?await axios.post('https://api.revenuecat.com/v1/receipts',{ app_user_id: userId, fetch_token: subscription.id },{ headers: { 'X-Platform': 'stripe', Authorization: `Bearer ${config.revenueCat.stripe}` } })

I have several offerings, one of them is the Current.I fetch the offering in my react native app this way: import Purchases from 'react-native-purchases';export const Premium =(props: {}) => { useEffect(() => { (async () => { const offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings(); console.log(offerings.all) <----------- })() }, []); ...}In dev mode, ‘all’ includes all my offerings including custom offerings, however in production only my Current is included in ‘all’

For testing/sandbox, can we have conditionally allow transfer vs block restore?It’s quite difficult to keep all the test accounts inline and temporarily enabling restore behavior to transfer in the dashboard can lead to other issues affecting prod users.

Hi! We are trying to use ‘Grant Promotion’ to user.And want to know how to give promotion to user who not yet registered in Revenuecat But our app. Condition:User never subscribes ,(so there is no data in Revenuecat)Is there any way to push our user data to revenuecat?

When I make a purchase from the SDK, my backend calls a method to validate the purchase with the subscribers api.The response returned has a body like this:{    "request_date": "2022-06-21T11:55:20Z",    "request_date_ms": 1655812520624,    "subscriber": {        "entitlements": {            "active": {                "expires_date": "2022-06-14T06:23:52Z",                "grace_period_expires_date": null,                "product_identifier": "onemonthusd899",                "purchase_date": "2022-06-14T06:18:52Z"            }        },        "first_seen": "2022-06-21T11:11:25Z",        "last_seen": "2022-06-21T11:11:38Z",        "management_url": null,        "non_subscriptions": {},        "original_app_user_id": "$RCAnonymousID:e7d81c263043488bb14c909718f83508",        "original_application_version": "1.0",        "original_purchase_date": "2013-08-01T07:

Hey everyoneI read the blog post re WWDC2022 and it mentioned that there should be an App Store Connect API to create in-app purchases manually.Link: https://www.revenuecat.com/blog/wwdc-2022-recap/However, I wasn’t able to find anything in the actual documentation of the App Store Connect API.Does anyone have any more details?Thanks!

I have a multi-platform SaaS (Software as a Service) for iOS, Android, and web. Purchase ServicesWeb: StripeiOS: Appstore IAPAndroid: Google Play IAPAll purchases are connected to RevenueCat.As far as I can tell, there is no library for web developers to access information, only a REST API. How are websites checking if a user is a entitled/paying member? My current plan for implementation is as follows:Get Subscriber via Rest AI Check the resulting object’s `subscriber.entitlements[‘my-entitlement-id’]` paying/subscribed if exists & if `expires_date` > `current_date`   Question 1: Is this the best method to achieve this OR is there a web

Just learning our way around the console app, and noticed that on our Setting page, where you can select the “Restore Behavior”, there is a link to documentation.  Unfortunately, that link comes up with a 404. Does anyone happen to have the correct link? 

Hello,I know based on legal/irs rules, we are not allowed to collect subscriptions and manually pay the person the end user is subscribing to.  I know stripe has connect, which the 3rd parties authenticate and provide their payout details (ach or otherwise).  Then they also deal with creating the IRS forms and such. Does Revenuecat support taking subscriptions on behalf of another business entity?

Hi there, We're using `purchases_flutter: 3.9.5` in our Flutter app. When I sent a Test Flight with our IAP implementation, all users get an iOS popup saying the `Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions have changed`, which upon pressing "ok" takes the user to a blank screen.  This state is so weird that revenue cat doesn't even return anything from the Purchase method. So by closing this blank screen the app just hangs on loading, waiting for Revenue Cat to return a response from the purchase method, which it never does. Closing the app completely causes the Terms to Pop back up once again, but this time it loads, and upon pressing accept th

Hello! I have few question about RESTAPI “Delete Subscribe” If I call this , Store’s subscirbe is canceled? (appstore,playstore..)

My app has offered monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions. I would like to offer a special auto-renewable subscription with a longer free trial period for a limited time, e..g three days. The expected behaviors are:People can only buy it within the three-day period After the three-day period, existing subscribers will still be auto-renewed but no new customers are allowedWhat’s the best way to implement it? Thanks!
