Error: Purchase was cancelled (intermittently seen in production)

Question

I’m seeing this error pop up in production only, through Sentry logs. It is intermittent -- it looks like most users are able to subscribe successfully. And, I know that in some cases this may be a legitimate situation where someone clicks purchase and then cancels out of it.

However, I see this happening a lot more than I would expect if it were just that situation. In addition, I have specific reports of users trying to make the purchase and seeing an error message in my app. When I triangulate that back to the Sentry issue occurring on that device at that time, it’s the “Purchase was cancelled” error.

So my question is, if the user is saying they are attempting to purchase and not canceling it, but they are still getting this error back from RC, how can I further debug?

For additional context here is the complete error I get back from RC. Again, this happens intermittently when users attempt to make a purchase, even if they state that they did not cancel it:

{
  code: 1,
  message: Purchase was cancelled.,
  name: Error,
  nativeStackAndroid: [Array],
  stack:

  ,
  userCancelled: true
}

Thanks so much in advance for any assistance!

Hi@asindhu,The message `Purchase was cancelled` happens when the user taps on purchase and when the store sheet opens, they close it. It doesn’t mean they cancelled the purchase while it was happening. Here’s the full explanation about the error message.Do you know the exact message your user got and what was the flow?Best,

Hi, thanks so much for your response! Got it, that makes sense. So the message that the user gets is more my own internal logic for handling purchase errors. Basically at the moment I don't distinguish between various purchase errors and just show an alert any time I get an RC error saying back to the user that an error occurred and please try again.

I think from what you’re saying basically I need to explicitly carve-out “Purchase cancelled” and not pop up my own error in that case as it will confuse users. What may be happening is that the user taps out and doesn’t realize they exited out of the flow, but then they see my error message, and then they think there’s a problem when in fact they just accidentally exited out.

I’ll start by adding that carve-out and see how it goes. Thanks again for the help.
