Hi
I have set the RC id linked to my users accounts’ unique identifiers and I thought that was ok. So the RC accounts are linked to my app accounts (a user, theoretically could have one account with subscription and another without it, imagine like a user having a professional Dropbox subscriptions and a personal one accessed via the same device)
But after an Apple rejection when they asked me to make possible that users conserve their subscriptions even if they upgrade phone, then I’m questioning myself if this is the right approach. It seems that, as subscriptions can only be cancelled via the stores menu, then all the accounts accessed via the same device would act the same.
Is this the “standard” way to make it work? Subscriptions linked to Stores accounts and not to my-app accounts?
I don’t have a preference, 99.9% of the cases my users will have just one account. I just want to make my app compliant and to make it work in the standard way.

Should subscriptions need to be linked to stores ids or to emails?

RevenueCat links subscription status to App User IDs, not store accounts. This is the only way to allow a customer that purchased through iOS access their same subscription on Android or Web (by logging in and setting the same App User ID).
If you don’t provide an App User ID, that’s okay, RevenueCat generates a random one for you.
Regardless of which route you go, you’ll probably want to put a restore purchases button in your app. This is what a lot of customers look for after upgrading their phone or reinstalling your app. https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/restoring-purchases
