Hello! We’re about to release an app using RevenueCat (via the React Native SDK) on iOS. Our app has options for monthly and annual renewing subscriptions, plus a lifetime purchase option. The lifetime option is implemented as a non-consumable purchase in the App Store.
The issue we’re having is that once a user has purchased a lifetime subscription in the sandbox, there seems to be no way to ignore that purchase in the future without also ignoring other purchases with the same entitlement. I can manually grant an entitlement for a user, but when I call getPurchaserInfo() in my app, entitlements.active.xyz will contain the sandbox purchase, not the one I granted - the sandbox purchase seems to be taking priority. So either I have to treat sandbox lifetime purchases as valid, or add client code to ignore lifetime purchases made in the sandbox. But if I ignore sandbox purchases, this would seem to have the affect of also ignoring non-sandbox purchases for the same entitlement.
This is a concern for us because we’re currently running a public beta, and we don’t want our users’ accounts to end up in a weird state if they make test purchases. The subscription purchases are not a problem because these get automatically expired by Apple so they don’t stick around after testing is over.
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
