Will setting up webhooks with an "App Store Connect App-Specific Shared Secret" work if we're using consumables?

Hi there!

I’m building an app that uses consumables and I was hoping I’d still be able to use RevenueCat.

I want to setup Webhooks so that I can use RevenueCat’s system to pass the UUID of the customer in through the payload.

I know to set up Webhooks, I can add a “App Store Connect App-Specific Shared Secret”, however on AppStoreConnect Apple states that:

The app-specific shared secret is a unique code to receive receipts for only this app’s auto-renewable subscriptions

 

Does this mean that if I’m only using non-renewing consumable products, I can’t use the generated token?

Hey @Jake Shelley!

It’s strange terminology, but it’s used with non-subscriptions as well. So you can generate it and enter it in our dashboard, even if you aren’t using subscriptions.

I’ll work on getting our docs updated, thanks for bringing this up!
