How to get notified when unfinished transactions are processed

We use RevenueCat so that our own backend is the source of truth for user status information. We offer consumable IAPs.After we make purchases via the RevenueCat SDK, we communicate with our backend to get the updated user status.When I make a purchase on iOS and kill the app when the StoreKit transaction has completed but before RevenueCat has processed the transaction, I run into the scenario that the RevenueCat SDK will process the transaction on the next launch.I see in the logs that the transaction is successfully processed by RevenueCat. But `PurchaseController.purchases(_:receivedUpdated:)` is not called afterwards.I assume the delegate would be called in case of subscription IAPs, but how can I get notified for consumable IAPs?

How can I use showInAppMessages in Android

In Android, a method called "showInAppMessages" was added from PBL4.https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/subscriptions#in-app-messagingThis feature allows users to receive notifications once a day during a grace or account suspension period and request payment method corrections within the app.This feature allows developers to restore a certain percentage of users who unintentionally cancel their subscription back to purchasing status.Is there no method in the RevenueCat SDK that calls an equivalent of this method?Or is it possible to use this method while coexisting with the SDK by implementing and calling it natively?

await Purchases.getOfferings(); hangs/never resolves

I am trying to add Revenue Cat to my application and I am getting an unexpected behaviour. await Purchases.getOfferings(); never finishes. It hangs. try { console.log('This logs') const offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings(); console.log('This does not log');if (offerings.current !== null) { ….}} catch (error) { new Error(`Error getting offerings from Revenue Cat ${error}`);} I am unsure why this happens.

Xcode 15's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy/Privacy Manifest: What if developer uses anonymous app ids only?

As Xcode 15/iOS 17 deployment is nearing, I have began looking at the new PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy / Privacy manifest stuff that will be mandated next year.Having seen the latest commits in GitHub, I realise that NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeLinked of PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy for NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypePurchaseHistory is set to true. (https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios/blob/7087218ed675e828fd1f97b5c25d4e1ef1609392/Sources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy#L21-L22)However, if we look at https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/apple-app-privacy#2-purchase-history-linked-to-identity, the previous advice on this topic, when we need to fill the privacy labels for the App Store, Purchase History Linked to Identity does not apply to those using anonymous user ids only. In that case, provided that if a developer only made use of the anonymous user ids, wouldn’t the Privacy Manifest be somewhat inaccurate? (though, I have no idea on how one could avoid this, either.)

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

Useless bottom text using new Paywall feature

I'm implementing a new version of my paywalls using the new (beta) feature of RevenueCat Paywalls. I'm using the paywall with the footer modifier and I do not understand why is this bottom line even exist. It displays the same text as the package subtitle and there is no way to remove it. In the web preview, this text is not shown. Is this a bug or is this a strange behaviour that I'm not getting it? Thanks for your time, this new feature is awesome!

Refund check of non-consumable purchase

I’m migrating iap other SDK to Revenuekit.i know that there is no way to check refund status of consumable purchase. but in non-cosumable case, which user can purchase only one time, func getRefundCheck() { Purchases.shared.restorePurchases { customerInfo, error in if error == nil { if self.isPremiumActive { if customerInfo?.entitlements["Premium"]?.isActive == false { self.isPremiumActive = false } } } }Is this the right function for me to find refund users?

How to implement trail version with activate deactivate license?

I am working on a macOS desktop application using SwiftUI and am looking for a way to implement a trial version that expires after a specific period (e.g., 7 days). Additionally, I want to include the functionality to activate and deactivate a software license.Requirements:When the user first installs the app, they should be able to use it for a 7-day trial period. After the trial period, the user should be prompted to enter a software license key to continue using the app. The user should have the option to deactivate the license on their machine, so it can be used on a different machine. I understand that this will likely involve both client-side and server-side logic. However, I am particularly interested in how to achieve this in SwiftUI for the client-side aspect.I look for a basic example that implements this preferrable integration. The payment can be on a website doesent have to be in app purchase but would be positive of this is possible optional lateron.Im looking for advice

The Paradox of Progress: Why RevenueCat’s Ever-Changing API Is a Double-Edged Sword

Hello fellow developers,If you're like me, you've embraced RevenueCat as a silver bullet for your in-app purchase needs. The proposition is compelling: let RevenueCat handle the complex, ever-changing landscape of app monetization so you can focus on what you do best — building an amazing app. In theory, this should make our lives easier. However, a pattern has emerged that challenges this notion: the API keeps changing, and it's forcing us to constantly revisit and update our integrations.Now, I'm all for improvements and new features. Progress is essential. But let's not lose sight of why we signed up for RevenueCat in the first place. The whole appeal of a wrapper like this is to abstract away complexity, not to introduce a new layer of maintenance.What's the Point of a Wrapper If It Unwraps Itself?The idea behind using a wrapper around Google Play Billing Library (or Apple's equivalent) is that we should be shielded from direct changes to these libraries. If Google or Apple changes

Could not validate subscriptions API permissions error

Could not validate subscriptions API permissions error. I think I need to publish my application in closed beta in the play store to solve this problem. Can I publish it in internal beta or does it have to be closed beta?
