RevenueCat and Ad BlockersNews

First of all, thank you to everyone who reached out to let us know RevenueCat was added to a popular ad block list! Because of your messages, we were able to quickly make sense of some customer support questions and start taking action. So, what’s the situation?The RevenueCat domain was added to a community-shared list of domains that are imported by popular ad blocking tools like AdAway and Pi-hole. This means anyone using these tools is unable to access RevenueCat functionality. More specifically, developers and teams using RevenueCat won’t be able to access the RevenueCat dashboard. And with regards to app end users, app purchases can’t sync with RevenueCat and thus won’t allow for entitlements to unlock or for purchases to be properly reflected in dashboard metrics.In other words, RevenueCat won’t work at all for these users. Why was RevenueCat added to this list?The short answer is “we don’t know.” It seems to be a misunderstanding of what RevenueCat does, although we’ve explained

RevenueCat CEO checking in

Hi! I’m Jacob, recovering iOS engineer and CEO of RevenueCat.  It’s still a bit mind boggling how many folks are using our little SDK these days, and I’m excited that we have an open community to chat about it. I’d love to hear your product and company feedback. I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with developers using our product day-to-day and would love to hear what direction you think we should take the SDK, the dashboard, and ultimately the company. We are here to help you make more money with your apps, so tell us what you need! P.S. I’m thinking about making an app. Can you still make apps in Objective-C?

Feature Request - Verification in Backend

Hello,We are currently utilizing a coin wallet system within our app. When a user makes a purchase from either Android or iOS, coins are added to their wallet. However, we have recently noticed some unauthorized or unexpected purchases. To address this, we aim to verify purchases directly from the backend.We have explored the following APIs for this purpose: Purchases List API: https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/{project_id}/customers/{user_id}/purchases While this API provides a list of purchases, it lacks the option to sort the results to obtain the most recent purchase. Single Purchase API: https://api.revenuecat.com/v2/projects/{project_id}/purchases/{purchase_id} The purchase_id required for this API can only be retrieved through the previous API, making it impractical to directly verify purchases from Android and iOS. After thorough investigation, we found that there is no API available to directly verify a purchase using the transaction ID. Additionally, there is no dire

Promo/Discount Codes feature in the Revenuecat roadmap?

Implementing a promo/discounted codes feature, where we can track purchases with various codes that we generate on our own, can be hard to implement if we need to track all these things on our own.We already have amazing Paywalls. Imagine having an option to add the promo code field in it as well. And being able to include different offerings based on the code.I think it would be a hell of a feature if RevenueCat could include it in the roadmap.What do you think about it?

Ipad

Hi, do you think you can help me with anything, please?Look, I'm working on a project in Flutter. In this project, I have what will be subscriptions, and I'm managing them with Revenucat. We already have the implementation done, and it works perfectly on iPhone, but the problem we're having is that when we emulate the app on an Air Pod, it's giving us problems in that area.Let me give you a little more important context:This same problem we're experiencing right now with Air Pod emulators previously occurred on iPhone emulators, but it was solved by creating a "StoreKit 1 Configuration File." This file allowed us to set up our subscriptions in Xcode, and this way, the problem was eradicated. However, now the problem persists on the iPad. I don't know if additional adjustments need to be made for the iPad. I've already tried to create an iPad emulator with iOS 17.5, thinking it might be the iOS version, but it still doesn't work.Thank you very much for your time.Console error:DEBUG: ℹ️

Hello. I have read all the existing posts on this issue, but am still stuck.My Flutter app has been successfully processing purchases via RevCat for over a year, but following publishing the latest version of the app, iOS users are getting Error #23 when trying to purchase: “There is an issue with your configuration. Check the underlying error for more details. There's a problem with your configuration. None of the products registered in the RevenueCat dashboard could be fetched from App Store Connect”I have changed nothing in the app in the latest version relevant to this issue except increased the iOS deployment target version to 18.0.I have checked all the suggestions mentioned in this form posts (signed agreements, financial setup, correct API keys, etc.), all looks fine and has not changed.purchases_flutter version is 8.7.1The code that produces this error is: offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings();Please help me diagnose and solve this -- my users can no longer make purchases

Subscription Status Delay in Sandbox – Normal?

Hey folks,I’m testing subscriptions in the iOS sandbox using RevenueCat, but noticing delays in status updates—like renewals or expirations not showing up right away in the dashboard.Is this normal in sandbox? Also, is there a way to manually trigger a sync or refresh from the app side?Would love to hear how others are handling this during development. Trying to keep everything smooth before going live.Also, if anyone’s visualizing this kind of data, what are the best data visualization tools you’re using with RevenueCat?Thanks!

Option to Change Notification Sounds in the Official iOS App

Hello.The RevenueCat iOS app is very well-made.The notifications from this app bring a different level of dopamine compared to others.The only unfortunate thing is that the notification sound cannot be changed to a custom one.If we could differentiate the notification sound from other apps, we would be able to know about purchases without looking at the screen.It would work well enough to just be able to select from sounds built into the iOS system, without having to create custom sounds.Thank you for your consideration.

Struggling with RevenueCat + Flutter (Riverpod, Firebase, GoRouter) Integration

Hi everyone! I’m trying to integrate RevenueCat into my Flutter app, which already uses Riverpod for state management, Firebase for auth/onboarding status, and GoRouter for navigation. I’m running into issues with routing redirects, linking Firebase users to RevenueCat, and handling subscription states. Would appreciate guidance or examples!My Setup: Authentication: Firebase Auth (users marked as "completed onboarding" in Firestore). Routing: GoRouter with redirect logic to handle onboarding/auth flows. RevenueCat: Configured, but struggling to link Firebase users and prevent paywall errors. Key Issues: Routing Conflicts: Using redirect in GoRouter, but async checks (onboarding status, subscription) cause race conditions. Example: Sometimes the app shows the paywall even if the user has an active subscription, or redirects incorrectly. Linking Firebase ↔ RevenueCat: How do I ensure the Firebase user ID is synced with RevenueCat’s user ID after login? State Manageme

Documentation typo

I did not know where to report this, rather silly, thing. This documentation:https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/tools/customer-center/customer-center-flutter States that we need at least version 8.7.0 Well, the latest release of that package in pub.dev in 8.6.1 at the time of writing and the changelog:https://pub.dev/packages/purchases_ui_flutter/changelogsays you introduced the customer center at 8.6.0 Great product guys, thanks!!

Unable to Fetch Subscription Products During App Store Review

I’m currently facing an issue with my app during the App Store review process, and I need some guidance.Problem Overview:The App Store Review team has rejected my submission because they encountered an error when attempting to purchase subscriptions. Specifically, the error occurs when the app tries to fetch subscription products from the App Store.Details:The subscriptions are still in a "Pending Approval" state in App Store Connect. When the app calls getProducts() or fetches entitlements, it returns no products, likely because the subscriptions haven’t been approved yet. This leads to an error when the App Review team tries to initiate a purchase.What I’ve Done So Far: Receipt Validation: My server is configured to validate both production and sandbox receipts as per Apple’s guidelines. Testing in the sandbox environment works fine, and the app handles receipts correctly in that context. StoreKit Testing: I’ve included a StoreKit configuration file in my Xcode project to simulate

All recent Transactions

Hi RevenueCat community, my favorite view is the “Recent transaction” view on the dashboard. But it only shows the last 10 transactions. I would like to view much more. But I have no idea how to get that “last subscription” sorting e.g. in the customer list. Any idea?Thank you!

Is RevenueCat Supported In My Country?

Does RevenueCat Support Purchases in (X) Country?RevenueCat supports subscriptions and in-app purchases for any country that is supported by the app stores (Apple, Google, Amazon) and Stripe. What if my country is only partially supported?If you want to support in-app purchases in Bermuda, for example, RevenueCat will work for all users in Bermuda, and they can make purchases in the Apple App Store and Amazon Appstore, but not in the Google Play Store.If a Bermudian user purchases a subscription on an Apple device, they can still access their subscription on an Android device if you properly support cross-platform usage of RevenueCat. Stripe purchasesStripe works differently from the app stores. If you as a developer have a bank account in a supported country, then you can collect payments globally. So, in the table below, if a country does not have a √ for Stripe, that does not mean you cannot collect Stripe payments from users in that country. It simply means your bank account/busine

The Best Methods for Organizing Several Subscription Levels on Various Platforms

Hello Everyone,Right now, I'm developing a mobile app with pricing variations for iOS and Android that offers three different subscription tiers: basic, premium, and pro. We manage our subscriptions and in-app purchases with RevenueCat, and I'm looking for guidance on a few important points.Price parity across platforms: How crucial is it to keep iOS and Android prices the same? Have you discovered that certain pricing schemes perform better on some platforms than others?Upgrades and Downgrades of Tiers: For those of you with several subscription tiers, how do you handle requests from consumers to change their tier mid-cycle? Is it possible to make this changeover go smoothly without confusing users or having an impact on their retention?Providing Regional Pricing: In light of the recent adjustments to exchange rates and localised pricing tactics, how are you handling regional pricing disparities? Does RevenueCat take this into account automatically, or do I have to set it up individua

Payment Success via Google Pay UPI but No Customer Info or Synced Customer Info Returned

I’m facing an issue in my React Expo Android app where, after successfully completing a payment via Google Pay UPI, the app is being redirected to an incorrect page, which prevents the purchase-related code from executing. As a result, I’m unable to fetch or log the customerInfo and syncedCustomerInfo objects as expected.ScenarioThe user selects Google Pay UPI and completes the payment successfully. Instead of being redirected to the correct app screen where the purchase process can be handled, the app is being redirected to a different page(first page). Consequently, the code responsible for processing the purchase (customerInfo and syncedCustomerInfo) is not executed.  const handlePurchase = async (packageToPurchase) => {    try {        alert(packageToPurchase.identifier);            const { customerInfo } = await Purchases.purchasePackage(packageToPurchase);              alert("Customer Info: " + JSON.stringify(customerInfo, null, 2));        const syncedCustomerInfo = await Pur

Experiment: statistical significance and p-value

We should not draw conclusions from statistically insignificant results and people don’t have an intuitive understanding of statistical significance, so we need to rely on objective numbers such as the p-value, to guide our decisions. I’m personally always surprised by how many users need to join an experiment, for the results to become statistically significant.The p-value can be computed from the numbers displayed on the experiment page, but since everyone should do it, it would be better to include it by default for everyone.Firebase does this in its experiment module:
