I’m trying to follow this documentation https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/apple-app-store
But it’s not clear to me what I can do in the simulator. To my surprise when I run my code in the simulator, it is able to retrieve all the products from appstore connect.
So is the simulator considered the sandbox?
I have not install StoreKit Configuration File why does it work?
What exactly does StoreKit Configuration File do for the simulator?
Do I need a sandbox tester account for the simulator?
Hey
Yes, the simulator is considered the sandbox! If you haven’t installed the StoreKit Configuration File, the simulator can still communicate with App Store Connect but the config file is an additional option for if you don’t have everything set up on ASC just yet, it’s more like a stand in for that communication with Apple.
You don’t need a tester account with the simulator if you are using a config file, but you will need one if you are not. Overall, we just recommend to use a device over a simulator if you are not setting up a StoreKit Config file as it can be a more stable environment to test in.
