iOS 'Receipt is invalid' Megathread

If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve encountered an active issue related to Apple’s receipt verification.RevenueCat relies upon Apple’s `verifyReceipt` endpoint which is currently facing an outage: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/This seems to be affecting sandbox and TestFlight purchases only at this time, although Apple’s status page doesn’t mention it explicitly.Encountering this issue? Post below ⬇️ RevenueCat isn’t able to resolve this at this time from our end, but it may help bring awareness and ease to other developers facing the same issue.Update 2/8/23 19:20 UTC:Customers (and me 😃) reporting things are working as expected again - post below if you’re still having trouble, seems like a slow rollout of a fix from Apple.Update 2/8/23 17:40 UTC:Apple’s reporting the issue is fixed, but we’re still encountering errors. Will provide another update as soon as possible.

React-Native / Expo Go: How to solve `TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNPurchases.setupPurchases')`

Expo Go doesn’t build native modules, so you may run into this error while trying to run your app with react-native-purchases in Expo Go. In order to use RevenueCat with Expo, you will have to create Development Builds, which can be done either by using EAS, or by making builds that are compatible with Xcode and Android Studio. There are detailed instructions for doing either one in this page:https://docs.expo.dev/development/build/ Easiest way to be able to debug is to just run either of the following:npx expo run:android -dnpx expo run:ios -d We also have a blog post that goes step-by-step into how to make an app with Expo and RevenueCat using EAS: https://www.revenuecat.com/blog/in-app-puchase-expo-managed-workflow/ Let us know if you run into any issues!

Help wanted: StoreKit 2 beta testing

Hi! 👋🏻 We’re in the final stages of our testing of some StoreKit 2 features before fully calling it ready for production, and we’d love your help! Context: Starting with v4.0.0, our SDK already uses StoreKit 2 by default on compatible devices for some features where the StoreKit 1 functionality was problematic, buggy or unreliable, and StoreKit 2 is essentially guaranteed to be an improvement (like checkTrialOrIntroDiscountEligibility). For devices that aren’t compatible with StoreKit 2, it defaults to a StoreKit 1 implementation. However, we haven’t enabled StoreKit 2 by default for making actual purchases. We’ve tested it extensively in Sandbox and StoreKit Test (see our blog post on how we test our SDKs) but we need to see how well StoreKit2 behaves in production before calling it ready. How to help: Our SDK includes an optional flag in the configure method, called useStoreKit2IfAvailable. In order to help, all you need to do is to set that flag to true! With this flag set,

SKAdNetwork - Listen to Trial conversion events app side

Hi, We are trying to use SKAdNetwork to track trial starts and trial conversions via Branch. While working with Branch customer support, they suggested we track these natively via BranchEvents so that the events would be captured by SKAN. This is easy for trial starts since we get a callback on device when the trial starts. However, for trial conversions, we need to do this client side as well to have them registered via SKAN. Is there an easy way to do this? One way I thought about doing this would be to set up `addPurchaserInfoUpdateListener` in the app and an async storage valuue to set this listener until if fires and then check if the user info changes to subscribed or cancelled. This seems a little convoluted though so I wanted to see if there was an easier way. As an aside, the Branch docs should probably be updated with a note around SKAdNetwork as we spent a lot of time trying to debug why we were getting no attribution data and it was because the events were coming server sid

User alias is created with delay using Purchases.getSharedInstance().logIn

We have encountered an issue where the user alias is created with a delay by using the following API:In java: Purchases.getSharedInstance().logIn( … ) Below is the timeline of our user: Because the delay described above, the Webhook notified our backend service with an AnonymuosID, and we do know about the alias happened afterward. Thus our own service cannot link the user’s REAL user id with the purchases and subscriptions they made. This happens quite often on our side (more than 2% of our users are impacted!!!!), and it has caused a huge data loss already. Please fix this as soon as possible, or let us know, what can goes wrong with the integration.

App Store with custom offer codes manually not working

app store normal subscription works. But I want to set discount offer codes and as stated in the docs I redirect the user with a URL to the app store to redeem the code for the subscription. I see the subscription in the user’s app store but there is nothing on revenue cat and when I try to “restore purchases” there is nothing. Also this offer code is for a subsctiption. The offer is discount for 12 months of subscription. everything looks good on apple side, will revenuecat understand when subscription renews or when subscription is cancelled?

Paywall not presenting RevCat 4.26.1 SPM

Hey all,I recently created a Paywall for my main offering, and installed v4.26.1 via SPM. RevenueCat and RevenueCatUI dependencies installed correctly. I am using UIKit, not SwiftUI.When I follow the instructions to present an RC paywall from my view controller, the app tries to present something, but the paywall isn’t there. The view controller just gets dimmed and unresponsive. I’m connected to the internet on the test device, and I made the paywall VC an instance variable just in case it was getting garbage collected. Nothing works … any help here would be invaluable.

Local Storekit testing - Can purchase, but everything else fails

Hi,I’ve just added RevenueCat and am trying to do some local testing with storekit. I’ve:Linked all the App secret and server to server notifications Created a storekit file synced with app store connect Added all storekit and other certificates in revenuecat Run the app connected to storekitWhen the app runs, I can call getOfferings and getCustomerInfo, and purchase the offering. When I purchase the offering, the transaction shows up in XCode, and my app gets a notification that customerInfo was updated, and I have the active entitlement.My issue is that I can’t seem to test anything past that. If I refund the purchase in Xcode, or delete the transactions, they are removed from Xcode but getCustomerInfo is never updated. RevenueCat keeps telling me the user is subscribed, even though they are NOT subscribed anymore. In fact, I can call purchase again and purchase the app, even though I was already entitled. There is some issue where RevenueCat does not realize that the subscription wa

Should I check user subscribe status via customerInfo in client or cloud funtion

Hi Revenuecat team, I am new flutter developer and use firestore as my server, my question is for my flutter app I want to check user’s subscription status, so I can get it viaCustomerInfo customerInfo = await Purchases.getCustomerInfo();Should I then pass this valuecustomerInfo.entitlements.all[entitlementID]?.isActivedirectly to my cloud function to calculate different methods based on user’s subscription status, or I need to move revenuecat code part in cloud function, in case someone can hack my code and always pass TRUE value to my cloud function? Thanks!

I am so incredibly confused and lost...

I have a React Native app for iOS and Android and I want to show users a yearly subscription option with a 1 week free trial:I don’t want to show different users different options I don’t want to do something different on Android vs iOS I don’t want discounts or promos So far I have:RevCat SDK installed and getting offerings My IAP created on the App Store And on the Play StoreBut I am just so so so lost. The offerings returned, as a json string, is literally 18768 characters long (without any whitespace), and nowhere in this monstrosity can I find:The actual name of my thing* properly included that I can use. ‘product.title’ is wrong. I’m working on Android first and this appends the name of the app. ‘serverDescription’ seems to not be meant for user facing use? And that’s it. hundreds and hundreds of fields...no name? This is despite the fact that I’ve inputted the name of my product in at least four different places (in Google Play, in my product display name, in my offering des

Calling getCustomerInfo() for the first time takes 3-4 mins for TestFlight users after upgrading to 4.25.9

The function Purchases.getCustomerInfo() takes anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes to pull data for the first time the app is installed from TestFlight after upgrading to RevenueCat 4.25.9 ( react-native-purchases@6.6.5 ).It works as expected when installing from Xcode directly on device and using a Sandbox user. Not sure if there is an issue in production, but I’m afraid to make a release because of this. Anyone else encountering this problem?

How to initialize the RevenueCat SDK in an iOS Widget

I want to use the RevenueCat SDK in my iOS widgets. I tried to use it once before but our users were reporting that their widgets would randomly show “no subscription” (our UI when we determine the user doesn’t have a current subscription), so I commented out the RevenueCat specific code but now I want to try to add it back in. The SDK notes say (https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/configuring-sdk):“You should only configure Purchases once, usually early in your application lifecycle. After configuration, the same instance is shared throughout your app by accessing the .shared instance in the SDK.” However there doesn’t seem to be a good way to achieve this inside an iOS widget since getTimeline() can be called multiple times, I didn’t see another place where you can easily instantiate a singleton RevenueCat instance. I’m not sure if this multiple Purchases object issue was the cause of our previous issues where sometimes it was reported the user didn’t have a subscription even when they d

Management URL when subscirbed with Stripe

I've been working on adding Stripe Checkout to my existing app (both Android and iOS) for web checkout. Now I need to add a 'Manage Subscription' button within the app for users to easily navigate to where they can manage their subscription.I tested subscribing a user with Stripe but the managementUrl returns null. Is this the expected behavior?If so, it would be nice to make that clear in the documentation.I have a function which I call to create a Customer Portal Session for the purpose of redirecting users to manage their subscription. I'd be curious to know what is the type of link returned if there is one for the Stripe case because I thought we should be generating a Portal Session through our own backend.

Unable to re-purchase a subscription in sandbox.

I am testing purchasing my subscriptions in sandbox. My device has purchased a subscription before, and it has expired.When I go in to purchase again, `Purchases.shared.purchasePackage` returns immediately with the `purchaserInfo` and the default entitlement shows my previous purchase, with an isActive status of false. I was never presented with the purchase modal. When I `restoreTransactions`, the `purcahserInfo` shows the same, an expired entitlement. Why can’t I re-purchase an expired subscription?

Migrating to 6.0 - freeTrialPeriod and subscriptionPeriod not found

Hello, I’m struggling with the RevenueCat update from 5.x to 6.4.0 on Android. I have currently a method to load the weekly subscription, however product doesn’t have subscriptionPeriod any longer. fun loadWeeklyProduct(onPackageLoaded: (Package?) -> Unit) { Purchases.sharedInstance.getOfferingsWith( { error -> // An error occurred }) { offerings -> val annualProduct = offerings.current?.availablePackages?.firstOrNull { item -> item.product.subscriptionPeriod == "P1W" } onPackageLoaded(annualProduct) }}And with this other method I would check if they still are eligible for Trial. Sadly product also no longer has any freeTrialPeriod. private fun fillTrialOrNormal(it: Package) { val hasFreeTrial = !it.product.freeTrialPeriod.isNullOrEmpty() Utilities().checkTrialUsedUp(it.product.sku, hasFreeTrial) { trialUsedUp -> var title = "" var header = "" if (trialUsedUp) { title = "

How frequently should I manually call getCustomerInfo in Swift?

Hello all,I have a question about how often I should call getCustomerInfo(). I am setting up RevenueCat in my SwiftUI application like so, based on the Magic Weather SwiftUI sample app @MainActorpublic class RevenueCatSingleton: NSObject, ObservableObject { public static let shared = RevenueCatSingleton() @Published public var customerInfo: CustomerInfo? { didSet { isUserPremium = customerInfo?.entitlements["plus"]?.isActive == true || customerInfo?.entitlements["mega"]?.isActive == true || customerInfo?.entitlements["epic"]?.isActive == true if customerInfo?.entitlements["epic"]?.isActive == true { currentUserSubscriptionLevel = .epic } else if customerInfo?.entitlements["mega"]?.isActive == true { currentUserSubscriptionLevel = .mega } else if customerInfo?.entitlements["plus"]?.isActive == true { currentUserSubscriptionLevel = .plus } } } @Published public var isUserPremium = false @Published public var currentUserSubscription

Is anyone here handling offer codes manually?

It’s pretty clear in the docs that iOS offer codes don’t function very well. I think I can handle the scenario manually in a pretty simple way. I’m thinking I’ll have a “redeem” screen in my app where a user can input a code, and that code & the app user id will get fired off in a request to a cloud function that will validate that all is correct, and then utilize the “Grant Promotional Entitlement” feature through the RevenueCat v1 API. Pros to this approach:• Allows me to have more custom scenarios (I would like to sell bulk licenses to businesses outside of app stores and their employees could redeem this way through the app, flexible free trials like 6 months free, awarding free product to influencers, etc.)• Seems like it would work a lot more reliably than the native sheet. Cons:• Reporting is a little funky since I would have a lot of folks with the ‘rc_promo’ active sku’s, so I may have to keep track of the redeemed codes in a different way as well.

Whats instead await Purchases.purchaseProduct() in Flutter?

Hey,I see that Purchases.purchaseProduct(); is Deprecated and it suggests to use purchaseStoreProduct instead. but purchaseStoreProduct doesn’t accept string like purchaseProduct so what should be instead if I want to purchase a IAP consumable/non-consumable product and not subscription.

method callbacks don't work without observerMode turned on. iOS SDK 4.25.3

I’ve got RevenueCat and SuperWall integrated into an older app and I can’t seem to get any of the method callbacks to work without setting observerMode to true on RevenueCat. I’m not handling my own purchases and I want RC to do it for me, so I don’t think that is the right setting… but ti does seem to work and unlock the app in sandbox mode when I do it that way. My SuperWall has a paywallDelegate configured for it where we hand the purchases over to RevenueCat. In that delegate I call the following method on Purchases.shared:func purchase(product: StoreProduct, completion: @escaping PurchaseCompletedBlock)For some reason when observerMode is false the PurchaseCompletionBlock just never get’s called. Not even with an error or nil value… When I turn observerMode to true everything works as expected but I’m confused why that should be. Am I reading the documentation wrong? Is there something going on with my SuperWall configuration where it’s somehow making the purchase?I’ve used the sa
