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.

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 = "

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. (Mostly) indie dev here

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

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.)

Flutter package - payment slow

Our app has been rejected by Apple because the payment process is very slow. Payment sheet takes about 5 seconds to load and then an additional 4 to 5 seconds to complete payment. We are using sandbox for testing and the package version purchases_flutter: ^4.11.2We simply use the following line to purchase a product. await Purchases.purchaseProduct(‘productid’)The configuration is all correct and payment goes through. It’s just sooo slow.I would expect the payment sheet to show up pretty quickly. IAP products have been defined in the App Store as consumable products and in revenuecat as well.Are we missing something? Is this a known issue with this package?Thank you

Missing product title on iOS

This may be more of a support question, but for some reason I am no longer fetching the title for one of the two subscriptions available in my Flutter app, and only on iOS - Android works fine.I have two subscriptions available for a game - one that allows unlimited play time (energy), and a second that allows unlimited chips (which are used for hints and other things that are not necessary for play).  The subscription for Chips retrieves all information correctly, but the info for Energy is missing the title. Immediately after getOfferings:final offerings = await Purchases.getOfferings();return offerings.all;The offerings.all has the following (from the VSCode watch window) running on an iOS Sim:As I understand it, the product titles are taken from the App Store settings for the subscription item, specifically, the “Reference Name” (which is the only place where the “Unlimited Chips - monthly” string is set, and is set similarly for Energy.  In fact, it isn’t possible to have a subscr

Flutter Purchases.purchasePackage() Doesn't Return

Hi,I’m using purchases_flutter(5.4.0). I’ve set up the entitlements, offerings, products as well as packages as guided in https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/ios-products. I can get the offerrings and display the packages correctly. But when I make a call to `Purchases.purchasePackage()` to purchase a package, the call just hangs and doesn’t return at all. Android works without any problems. I tried it with sandbox and real icloud accounts, the result is still the same..The problem is only on IOS. It has been working flawlessly for about 40 days, with over 300 subscription purchases made, but for the past 3-4 days, I've been encountering this problem. When I check the RevenueCat dashboard, I can see the purchases, but there is no response from the 'purchasePackage' method in the app. I also tried upgrading the Purchases_flutter library to version 5.6.5 with the same result. You can see that the purchase is successfully made in the logs. I have also looked into other topics experiencing th

How to RESTORE user subscription without using User id?

I want to give my subscribed users a way to restore their subscription from the underlying store without using the “user id”. the reason why I want this is that some users use another login method than the original one they used when they subscribed. This gives the user account a different id, therefore they cant find their subscription.  we got a lot of customer support tickets because of this problem, So I was wondering if there is a way to restore the subscription directly from Google Play or App Store without any user id?

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 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
