PurchaserInfo empty on different device/platform

We’ve got an issue where the PurchaserInfo is empty when using same appUserID but different device/platform. We’re using the Legacy (Alias) mode because we want the user to share the entitlements across multiple devices.This scenario is: Android (paying Subscriber) -> iOS (new device)Is what we’re trying to do possible? Is there a reason why the PurchaserInfo would be empty on the iOS device.We checked to see if RC is throwing any errors when restore purchases is pressed, which it isn’t. Obviously, we don’t expect Restore Purchases to actually restore a purchase, but we do expect it to send the entitlements for the appUserID. Is our understanding correct?

Where can I find original transaction id issued by apple when a user makes a non renewable subscription purchase?

I am using the flutter SDK to integrate IAP to my app and i am using the non renewable subscription model. I want to get a unique transaction ID issued by apple to send to my server to store it if the user wants to refund his purchase in the future.

Create projects, apps etc. via API

Hello there,I’m creating multiple whitelabel apps for several platforms, clients etc and would love to use RevenueCat for everything subscription-related. I was checking out the RevenueCat Rest API but it doesn’t seem like I can (fully) create projects, apps and basically everything programatically through the API. Did I look into the wrong place or is there just no support for this? And maybe somebody knows if this is on the roadmap? All the best and thanks!

My subscriptions in Stripe do not appear on the RC dashboard with webhook setup

HiI have set up the stripe webhook using the docs and have tried to add test subscriptions on Stripe manually and using Stripe Checkout. The Stripe webhook page shows me that the events did go through as shown here: but on Revenue Cat my dashboard is still empty completely. I am not sure where the issue is and would appreciate any help!

Discord Webhook

Hey! Is there any way to have discord webhook compatible with Revenuecat? There is an integration with Slack, but regular Webhook in rc and discord does not work together. Any ideas what to do to connect discord?

Can the anonymous RevenueCat ID be used to identify users across multiple app versions and devices?

I have implemented consumable in-app purchases with revenue cat and wanted to use the anonymous ID (“$RCAnonymousID:…) to keep track of the purchases a user has made. This seems to work fine until a user reinstalls the app or I upload a new version of the app. I call the restore function to get previous purchases but if I check the ID with the originalRevenueCatID method I get a different ID if I reinstall the appI tested this with TestFlight (iOs) and reinstalled the same version of the app after I purchased something but the purchase is gone and also the ID is something else. Is this because of TestFlight maybe and it should work if I publish the app? Or is this generally not possible?I basically wanted to not force the user to create an account and still be able to keep track of in-app purchases across multiple versions of the same app and of course re installationsHope this is the right place to ask. Would appreciate any kind of advice!

Ability to cancel a subscription from within the app.

There is another question out there marked as solved (see below) however I believe there is a need to re-open this as per recent changes to Google policy. Google is now requiring apps to allow for cancelling a subscription from within an app. An email was sent to app developers about a policy change: We’re updating our Subscriptions policy to state that users must be able to easily cancel their subscriptions from within the app. You’ll have at least 30 days from the date of this notification to update your app to comply with the following policy changes.As this is not currently possible via RevenuCat it means that apps are in danger of being in violation of Google policies and banned from the Play Store. We urgently need a way to cancel a subscription so that it does not renew but without refunding for purchases already made.

Is it possible Cancel Google Play Subscription through the RestAPI?

Through the Google Play API you can revoke, refund, and cancel a subscription. Through the RevenueCat API you can revoke and refund, not cancel. Is there going to be added support for canceling a subscription?

iOS code redemption issues in flutter

Hi all,Im trying to get iOS Code Redemption working in flutter and having some issues.So as per the doc (not flutter specific, so following the API doc mixed with the swift example), and I go ahead and call: await Purchases.presentCodeRedemptionSheet();And then….. nothing happens? Is there anything else that needs to be done in the code after the sheet is dismissed to detect that a purchase has been made via the code redemption sheet? It’s really hard to test as this as it seems as though it cant be tested in a simulator or in debug mode on a real device - so I’m doing it ‘live’ and not getting any really good logging.The “Codes” are attached to an App Store IAP that I do have configured in revenuecat / has an entitlement….I’ve tried to re-initialise the purchaserinfo object & check for entitlements again and its still not triggering in the way it should if an entitlement is detected. Running purchases_flutter 3.1.0 on flutter 2.0.5Anyone have any ideas?

ErrorCode: 3.,userCancelled: false}, null)Although we have our in-app item active in Play Store Console, Ids are synced between Play Store and Revenue Cat, our Play Store profile is set to receive payments, and, we already had payments succeed before. On iOS we have no issues on this matter. Every purchase completes normally.Example of a refused payment : Based on our search, and after a respon

App IDs transferring subscriptions to anonymous users

We have an app that requires the users to login before making a purchase.We’re observing (in our sandbox testing) that occasionally a users subscription gets transferred from one of our users id’s to an anonymous id. What's quite frustrating is this is happening very infrequently and we haven’t been able to recreate it predictably.Here is an example event (id: 0a5fc80d-ca5a-451a-8a31-cb16b95a3a92){ "event_timestamp_ms": 1643816650712, "store": "APP_STORE", "transferred_from": [ "ce3873cc-10a7-46d0-9463-43364f6b2cb8", "$RCAnonymousID:6a5e992f89a44858b2a8effa6996f257" ], "transferred_to": [ "$RCAnonymousID:a0490b63949a4b6e99a3bf372b3da781" ]} Our touch points with the React Native SDK are rather light:We have an useEffect() that calls Purchases.setup(key) with our keys in our main App.tsx as per the examples. When a user logs into our app we call Purchases.logIn(user.id) using the response to set our initial local subscription state. To keep things up to date we call Purch

Purchase Transfer causing Revenuecat to report an anonymous user and loses firebase application id for the user

Hello everyone We are facing one bug with Revenuecat and firebase integration when reporting subscribed users. our system uses firebase and firebase assigned ids to the users, and we use the same ids to report a subscription, and revenuecat assigns it as an alias in the revenuecat dashboard. The bug show when a user transfers his entitlement to another account, like this example:here it’s transferring it to anonymous userin the attributes it’s showing fine the firebase app id then we move to the new account created after transferring the entitlements:it’s not showing firebase app instance id, and reporting the user as anonymous revenuecat user this is for the first time.the second time, for another user something similar happened and here what happened: the user transferred the entitlements to another user, so main account it was completely fine:the attributes for the main user had firebase app instance id there.in the transfer event it was as followsso it created an anonymous id for t

How to add 2 annual products to Annual package in an offering?

Maybe I didn’t fully understand the purpose of packages in offerings. I would like to have one offering, with 1 package, which contains 2 different products. Both should have annual renewal, but are linked to different entitlements, since one gives full access, and one only reduced (read-only). How to do this? When I try to add a second product, the first one is replaced.Do I have to create 2 offerings? I cannot have another package with “Annual” identifier...

Create a `staging` project for staging versions of our apps and test subscriptions, offerings etc

@ryan You mentioned in this thread : Some developers choose to create multiple RevenueCat apps for different environments of the same bundle ID as well.I just wanted to check - if we want to have a staging setup to go with our apps staging environment that means we can test new products/entitlements/ offerings etc without affecting our Production apps - given the above detail we could effectively just :- Create a new Project (and suffix it’s name with STAGING for example) - Define our apps again using the same bundleids/package names - Setup products/entitlements/ offerings etc and test them independently of our Prod apps because we would have a new unique API keyIs that a valid way to essentially duplicate what we have for a staging setup?Are there any settings we should not re-use from our Prod Project or can it essentially be duplicated?Hope that makes sense, if you need more detail please let me know

Cancel subscriptions from within react native app?

Hey guys. Apparently there has been an update to the Google Play Developer Program Policy where customers “must be able to easily cancel their subscription from within the app.”I was wondering what the best approach for this was. I’m under the impression that cancelling a subscription in-app isn't possible yet? If I’m wrong could someone point me in the right direction?I did come across this thread that says how redirect the user manage their subscription? Does any one know if this method would suffice?

What is causing "There is another request in flight trying to perform the same action"?

Within a local Xcode testing environment we sometimes run in to the following error (which is received from RevenueCat):Error Domain=RCBackendErrorDomain Code=7638 "There is another request in flight trying to perform the same action."This is the error that we receive back when we try and make a purchase (within the following code block): func purchase(package: Package, completion: @escaping (InAppPurchaseResult) -> Void) { purchasePackage(package) { _, purchaserInfo, error, userCanceled in if userCanceled { completion(.userCancelled) } else if let error = error { completion(.failure(error)) print(error) print(error.localizedDescription) } else if purchaserInfo?.entitlements.all["unlocked"]?.isActive == true { completion(.success) } else { // According to RevenueCat doc it should never happen } } }Even though we receive

How to remove entitlement when lifetime purchase is refunded?

Your documentation has the following paragraph:If you wanted to add a 'Lifetime Unlock' purchase option to your app, it is recommended to create a new non-consumable IAP, add the product to your offering, and add the product to your entitlement. This works well in many contexts, such as alongside other subscription packages, or just as a standalone package in your offering. We noticed that this scenario breaks when a user requests a refund for this IAP, as RevenueCat treats the Entitlement as unlocked forever.It would be great when there was an option in the dashboard to at least manually remove an Entitlement (maybe I have missed it?)

Apple Search Ads Attribution

Hi, I’m a little confused about the Apple Search Ads attribution page in the docs:https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/apple-search-ads It says that:On iOS 14.5+, you must be running the latest RevenueCat SDK and request authorization via the App Tracking Transparency framework before Apple Search Ads data can be collected by RevenueCat. However, my understanding is that for basic tracking (anonymised) using the new AdServices framework, this isn’t necessary. What’s the latest on this?
