Web Paywall Button not working when displaying paywall in React Native app?

Hi all,

In light of the recent court ruling against Apple taking the 30% cut in the US, I decided to try out the Web Paywall button that RC recently introduced. However, when creating the paywall after creating the web offering, I’m seeing this red alert when I make the button option to navigate to a web paywall.

 

Also noticing that in my code (using React Native + Expo), when showing the Paywall with `RevenueCatUI.Paywall` and my new offering that has the web billing option (along with iOS), the paywall screen errors out and falls back to the default paywall. If I switch out the paywall button option from “Web Paywall” to something like “URL”, I no longer see this issue.
 


Is this related to how I’m configuring web billing in my React Native app? I’m currently using react-native-purchases to configure my iOS and Android SDK for purchases, but do I need to do something similar to ensure the web paywall button works as expected?

I’m also using my own custom app user IDs to identify users. Would love assistance here - I’d love to ship and experiment with this new revenue channel as soon as possible!

Hey! Glad you’re checking it out. Have you updated your SDK version yet? The Web Paywall Button required the latest React Native version released this week (8.9.6).

Also, since the button is not allowed on Android, we recommend using Targeting so you show one paywall on iOS (the one with the Web Paywall Button) and a different one on Android that does not include it. Details here.
