I have recently launched an iOS app which has been in beta for a while. The live app has subscriptions, but during the beta I added a “lifetime unlock” in-app purchase so that beta testers didn’t have to keep re-subscribing due to the accelerated subscription speed.
Now that the live app is out, I wanted to offer beta testers a promotional offer code to access a discounted subscription in the live app. However, in my testing, when I installed the live app over the beta app it immediately unlocked everything (as the lifetime unlock was still valid, despite being purchased in sandbox mode)
So I added code to the live app to ignore sandbox entitlements by checking the isSandbox flag on the EntitlementInfo (RCEntitlementInfo). This now works as expected, and I was able to purchase a new subscription in the live app despite having had one in the beta, however, today it is failing
When I try to purchase the monthly subscription in my live app, it tells me “You’re currently subscribed to this” (correct), I then hit “OK” and get a STORE_ERROR from RevenueCat (“There was a problem with the App Store.”)
Deleting and reinstalling the live app does not fix this.
My hunch is that both production and sandbox purchases are present, and I only want to use the production one but the app is receiving the sandbox entitlement from the SDK. Is there a way to filter out only the production version of an entitlement from RevenueCat’s RCEntitlementInfos object? Should I even be doing this?
