I don't understand what in_app_purchase refers to. I thought that it refers to a functionality like Screen A will be disabled until a payment is made. From online information, it seems like in_app_purchase refers to products to sell through the app.It is not about a functionality to buy.I am bit confused like what type of products you would see in your app. A mobile app is not a regular e-commerce store.On Google Play, I've seen quite a number of apps (not a game) have in_app_purchases. From many app descriptions, it is not clear what is included in the in-app purchase.Typically, for a software program, you could see based on a plan by plan basis how each plan is different like what functionality is included in each plan.With the in-app purchase, it is very blurry what is included in the in-app purchases.Could you please provide examples and explain.

I am upgrading from purchases_flutter 3.x to 5.x. The class PurchasesInfo was changed to CustomerInfo. We upload PurchasersInfo Json to our server which parses the data. Have the contents or format of the data changed along with the change of the class? When inspecting the class CustomerInfo I find it has several JSON and String arrays so it’s difficult to tell what might have changed inside those arrays. Thank you,KeithB

My app uses custom user ids. When a user purchases a subscription, then logs out and back in with a different account, that doesn’t have the entitlement, a problem occurs. When pressing the purchase button, they get an alert that says “You are currently subscribed to this” and after pressing OK, the entitlement is also added to this account. Now I have two accounts with an entitlement, but only one subscription.I’m very new to this, but isn’t there any way to prevent this?Or at least a way to check if this app store account already has a subscription, so I can give the user the option to restore it, instead of purchasing?

When I subscribe with a user, which is the same email as the cell phone account, then I logout and then I login with another user, this new user appears to me as having a subscription when it doesn't, it's like the subscription of the first user also happens to this new one.

Hello, everyone,I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an unfortunate issue with my Apple Developer Program membership that was suddenly terminated. I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action.I appealed the decision, offering all possible explanations and commitments to adhere to guidelines, only to be met with a reply stating that the decision is "final" and no subsequent appeals will be processed.Has anyone here faced a similar situation? Are there any steps that can be taken to understand the reason for termination when Apple doesn't disclose it? Is there a way to open a dialogue with Apple, even when they've stated that their decision is final? Would publicizing this issue through social media or blogs be advisable?This is a particularly trying time for us, as we are recovering from a recent earthquake and our app is our sole

Hi, I want to purchase a specific subscription offer from google play.This should work as described here: https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/subscription-offers#more-control-over-offer-selection and here: https://github.com/RevenueCat/cordova-plugin-purchases/releases/tag/4.0.0 I did my setup for Ionic(Vue) + Capacitor as described here (https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/ionic)I have the following dependencies installed:@awesome-cordova-plugins/core@^6.3.0 @awesome-cordova-plugins/purchases@^6.3.0 cordova-plugin-purchases@^4.2.3 cordova-annotated-plu

Apologies for a basic question. This is my first RevenueCat project…I’m running an Expo managed project for React Native. react-native-purchases is installed and imported. I can call setDebugLogsEnabled successfully. But I cannot see a “setup” method on the Purchases object? If I type the code to run setup() I get the following error:What am I missing?Thx!

I’m using the purchases_flutter: ^5.6.2 and I am trying to set an monthly subscription in Android, I have all the steps mentioned in the Google Play checklist but apparently its not working properly, using the same setup for iOS works fine, Do I need add some implements in the AndroidManifest or build.grade or anything else? 

Hey All,We’re noticed a bug appear on devices running iOS 15.4 having issues when trying to present the store code redemption sheet using the RevenueCat iOS SDK (3.14.1).Purchases.shared.presentCodeRedemptionSheet()The presentation sheet appears, however the expected redeem code page is missing. Instead we’re presented with a “Cannot Connect” with the retry button not performing any action.This is repeatable on all devices running 15.4 and only appears after the update from 15.3.1.Does migrating to the the most recent 4.1.0 release fix this issue for devices on iOS 15.4?Thanks 

i have a flutter app that about daily horoscope and tarot cards and i’m trying to implement it but i’m kinda lost in the documents and tutorials i have purchase function page like this in code import 'package:flutter/services.dart';import 'package:purchases_flutter/models/offering_wrapper.dart';import 'package:purchases_flutter/purchases_flutter.dart';class PurchaseFlutterAPI {// initialize function to be called to initialize our purchase_Flutter plugin static Future init() async { await Purchases.setLogLevel(LogLevel.debug); }// gets a list of offerings from RevenueCat and stores it in a list for use in our app static Future<List<Offering>> fetchOffers() async { try { final offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings(); final activeOffering = offerings.current; return (activeOffering == null) ?

Could not validate subscriptions API permissions error. I think I need to publish my application in closed beta in the play store to solve this problem. Can I publish it in internal beta or does it have to be closed beta?

I see this error for our production app for iOS,we are using 4.25.6 version of RevenueCat.Error message is: “The device or user is not allowed to make purchase”Does this occur because of parental controls?Our app is +17

I’m trying to follow this documentation https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/apple-app-storeBut it’s not clear to me what I can do in the simulator. To my surprise when I run my code in the simulator, it is able to retrieve all the products from appstore connect. So is the simulator considered the sandbox? I have not install StoreKit Configuration File why does it work? What exactly does StoreKit Configuration File do for the simulator? Do I need a sandbox tester account for the simulator?

none of the products registered in the revenueCat dashboard could be fetched from the play store 

I have a paid Android app which I want to migrate to RevenueCat and also make free (converting each app purchase to an equivalent in-app purchase - but I’m not talking about the details of this here). Since the app is currently paid, I do a license check using Google Play’s License Verification Library. This library gives a userId which is unique for that user-app combination and will not change in the future even with uninstall-reinstall etc. This userId does not expose any information about the user (looks like some meaningless hash). At first glance, this looks like a good userId to set through the RevenueCat SDK. Even after the app is made free, the License Verification Library can be used to fetch the userId, and so also fetch any entitlements through the RevenueCat SDK. Now, this will work for the Android app, but a new userId strategy will be needed once I expand to other platforms. I’m not worri

Hello fellow developers,If you're like me, you've embraced RevenueCat as a silver bullet for your in-app purchase needs. The proposition is compelling: let RevenueCat handle the complex, ever-changing landscape of app monetization so you can focus on what you do best — building an amazing app. In theory, this should make our lives easier. However, a pattern has emerged that challenges this notion: the API keeps changing, and it's forcing us to constantly revisit and update our integrations.Now, I'm all for improvements and new features. Progress is essential. But let's not lose sight of why we signed up for RevenueCat in the first place. The whole appeal of a wrapper like this is to abstract away complexity, not to introduce a new layer of maintenance.What's the Point of a Wrapper If It Unwraps Itself?The idea behind using a wrapper around Google Play Billing Library (or Apple's equivalent) is that we should be shielded from direct ch

hello,I am using this on the sandbox testing that after 5 minutes subscription will be extended.It seems that after subscription extension, user will need to restore purchase manually as the entitlements checking for isactive will return to not active. Is it the expected behavior like when uninstall and reinstall the app behavior? Thx

Hello, I use Flutter.I get that there is a CustomerInfo to get the purchase dates of the user.My question is that, How can i retrieved list of all automatic subscription renewal dates of the user ? Thank you.

Hello World! I’m a developer on a React Native mobile app that uses Revenue Cat (v. 5.14.0) to paywall our upgraded features behind a subscription. We have received a report of a user being unable to purchase our subscription from Apple. This user has submitted a video recording of the issue and the purchase process begins as expected and then ends un-expectedly. The app does not crash but premium was not purchased.Our onPurchase implementation looks like this:  (sorry for formatting)```const onPurchase = useCallback(async (subscription: PurchasesPackage | null) => {try {setLoading(true);if (subscription) {const { customerInfo } = await Purchases.purchasePackage(subscription);if (typeof customerInfo.entitlements.active[REV_CAT_ENTITELEMENTS.PREMIUM_PRO] !== "undefined") {Sentry.Native.captureMessage("Premium Pro Purchased");setLoading(false);checkPremium

Currently, we plan to use observer mode to import iOS receipts from the server side into RevenueCat. However, we do not have currency and price information. I noticed in the receipt API documentation that it's possible to infer this information using store_country and ip_address. Where does this information come from? If I synchronize all iOS products with RevenueCat, will it obtain this information from the product details?

Is there a method to refund the saved money on each subscription as a percentage? (without having to use metadata, which would entail recalculating everything, for instance, when changing the subscription price from the Play Console).As in the following image from the doc 

We have an app in production using RevenueCat for iOS and Android using the Cordova SDK"cordova-plugin-purchases": "^3.12.0" One of our users is reporting that they’re not able to subscribe. Looking in Sentry, they’re the only one receiving this error. The error is below:  Uncaught (in promise): Object: {"code":3,"message":"The device or user is not allowed to make the purchase.","readableErrorCode":"PurchaseNotAllowedError","readable_error_code":"PurchaseNotAllowedError","underlyingErrorMessage":"Billing is not available in this device. DebugMessage: Google Play In-app Billing API version is less than 3. ErrorCode: BILLING_UNAVAILABLE."}  The problem is, they’re saying that they’re able to subscribe to other apps with that same device, and have tried another subscription since they’ve received this error from our app. Device: SM-G998U (S21 Ultra 5G)Android

Our team is currently integrating the option to cross-grade between monthly ↔ yearly subsctiptions.Most of our Android users are on old Google legacy subcription plans. A few months ago, we updated to RevenueCat Purchases v6 and also created a new “unified” subscription with 2 base plans, one for monthly and one for yearly.So the subcriptions we have look like this:Legacy Subscriptions:app_regular_subscription (for monthly) app_regular_subscription_yearlyNew Subscription (used since we upgraded to RevenueCat v6 a month ago)app_subscription_unified (with 2 base plans: app-subscription-monthly and app-subscription-yearly) While testing different scenarios in Sandbox mode, I found out that there are some unexpected behaviors when crossgrading from app_regular_subscription (legacy - monthly) to

Hello,I am wondering whether it’s possible to grant all users of my app a Premium entitlement for 1 month, lets say for the entire September. I want all existing and new users to receive this entitlement as long as it is still September. Currently my app has launched and there are already a few active subscriptions, the free 1 month premium would not really affect these users since most of them are already on trial but if they were to cancel for whatever reason, they should still have Premium for remainder of September.An alternative to this would be that new users would get 1 month entitlement from the day they download the app, however I don’t know how this would work for existing users.I also want to easily be able to apply the entitlement to all app users at once if possible and new users should also continue to get it.What is the best way to go about this?
