Hey folks! đź‘‹

One of my macOS app customers noticed the app connecting to api-production.8-lives-cat.io and got a bit worried because a security scanner (Gridinsoft) flagged it as potentially suspicious: https://gridinsoft.com/online-virus-scanner/url/api_production-8_lives_cat-io

I traced it back to your SDK here: https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios/blob/bf85f138ab066ed20ec866a5cbedc1e25085e692/Sources/Networking/HTTPClient/HTTPRequestPath.swift#L143

Could you confirm this is a legitimate RevenueCat domain? It would be great to have official confirmation so I can reassure my customer.

If it is yours, it might be worth reaching out to Gridinsoft to get the false positive removed.

Thanks!

Hi ​@FelixII, 

I can confirm that this is indeed a legitimate RevenueCat domain, which we use as a fallback in case of connectivity issues while connecting to our main backend. Thanks for reporting this, I will share this internally.

Best,

Rick
