Hi, I'm trying to install the module is ReactNative app but it seems that the search is done in the wrong path (it adds a Common folder after the set path) ``` clang: error: no such file or directory: '[app_path]/node_modules/react-native-purchases/ios/Common/RCEntitlement+HybridAdditions.m' ``` While the file is located in ``` '[app_path]/node_modules/react-native-purchases/ios/RCEntitlement+HybridAdditions.m' ``` Any idea? Thank you.

My use case is that I have an old paid Android app which I want to turn into a subscription-based model. I'm trying to find a user friendly and reliable way to give my existing 3000+ users a lifetime ownership of the app. So far, the best I've come up with is giving them promo codes for an In-App purchase (unfortunately it seems you can't create a free IAP in Google Play). This solution has several drawbacks, for example the limitation of 500 promo codes per quarter, not to mention the poor user experience. So since I'm going with RevenueCat in my new version of the app, I was thinking that maybe there's a way to provide a free entitlement to my existing users? I guess one problem is that I don't have any user registration and login, instead I'm relying on the RevenueCat generated user ID's, and I presume that aliasing these across installs/devices requires at least one In-App purchase in order to work? Any suggestions?

Is it possible to use RevenueCat to retrieve the original order/transaction number of a purchase (or all purchases) from Google Play/Apple App Store? It would be useful to include in debug data sent by users in certain cases, rather than asking them to manually find it in their emails or app store purchase history. I'm using the Flutter SDK.

I am using the android cordova v2.3 SDK. I trying to setup the screen that lists out all the subscriptions along with a "Subscribe" button. Following the instructions outlined in the guide, I am calling Purchases.getEntitlements( entitlements => { }, error => { } ); What I am not clear is how to loop through the entitlements to build my list. How do I get each entitlement's properties? Also, I saw the examples applications for Swift, reactive but not one for cordova, and hence I have nothing else to refer to. Really appreciate, if anyone can help me out.

Hi Somehow I can not get RevenueCat to get the SkuDetails for my Managed Products from Google Play Store (Not Subscriptions). The in the title masked sku "xxx.xx.xxx" (as an example) matches exactly a product on the Play Store Console. Still somehow I can not get the SkuDetails. Even removed and added another one. Still not working. Is there anything I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Hey, we are using react-native-purchases for an iOS app. We call the setup method when the app starts, and as soon as the user hits the buy-button, we identify the user and perform the purchase. We need the identify with OUR user-id to make sense of the incoming webhooks. This works 95% of the time, but sometimes the identify-call does not seem to have worked, since OUR user-id is not in the aliases of the related webhooks. We have lots of precautions in place. - We check that OUR user-id is there and well-formed before we call identify. - we check if the user has wifi or cellular connection before calling identify.. - ..and also before making the purchase Here is an excerpt from our code:(javascript) ``` // ...this is inside an async function const connectionInfo = await NetInfo.getConnectionInfo(); if (connectionInfo.type == 'wifi' || connectionInfo.type == 'cellular') { // perform purchase, we have a connection // sometimes this does not work... await Purchases.identify(userId); const entitlements = await Purchases.getEntitlements(); if (websiteEvent.name === 'purchase12Plan') { this.performPurchase('12months', userId, entitlements); } } // .... performPurchase = async (durationString, userId, entitlements) => { try { const purchaseMade = await Purchases.makePurchase( entitlements.premium[durationString].identifier ); if ( purchaseMade.purchaserInfo.activeEntitlements !== 'undefined' && purchaseMade.purchaserInfo.activeEntitlements.includes('premium') ) { // Unlock that great "pro" content this.props.navigation.navigate('Loading'); } } catch (e) { if (!e.userCancelled) { console.log(e); } } ``` Do you have any hint why identify sometimes fails to set the new user id? We are running out of ideas what the cause could be.

Hi, Is there a way of resolving aliased User IDs back to the originally allocated User ID? I'm trying to associate some metadata (in Firebase) with each subscriber, and even with authentication I will still need to offer anonymous access to my current user base. TIA.

I've created a new app in app store connect for mac and added some subscriptions. In revenue cat, I added my specific shared secret to my existing app. Then, I edited my product identifiers (because they have to be different on mac) and ran my uikitformac app. Whenever I try to purchase something, it just keeps asking me for my password. It doesn't say my password is incorrect; it just closes the password window and reopens it. Also, I'm looking for advice on how to sync the user id between devices. I think I'm just going to put [Purchases shared].userId into ubiquitous storage. If there already exists something in that storage, I'll set it on the purchases framework. Will that be enough? Or do I need to keep track of a user id in every app? Thanks.

Hi, We have an ios application that relies on revenuecat for subscriptions. I was wondering if it was possible to query whether a user (with id2) is a paying subscriber from another users session (where purchases.configure was called with id1)

Hi, Where do I get the details about the trial period of a product? In the debug logs I see the details: sub_base_year_7dt_0dis_4499 - SkuDetails: {"skuDetailsToken":"AEuhp4KzyAa_7DAhCzFKHEQ8IF-QpG78EOeeLPk0svSArQOHVWcIETZINK77vgg0vu_x","productId":"sub_base_year_7dt_0dis_4499","type":"subs","price":"₪149.90","price_amount_micros":149900000,"price_currency_code":"ILS","subscriptionPeriod":"P1Y","freeTrialPeriod":"P1W","title":"1 Year Premium Membership (STG - Dynamo Parents)","description":"Give your kid 1 year of fun education"} When calling getEntitlements, I am getting the following response (in Android): ... "annual_with_trial": { "currency_code": "ILS", "intro_price_string": "", "intro_price_cycles": "", "intro_price_period_number_of_units": "", "price_string": "₪149.90", "intro_price_period": "", "intro_price": "", "price": 149.9, "title": "1 Year Premium Membership (STG - Dynamo Parents)", "intro_price_period_unit": "", "description": "Give your kid 1 year of fun education", "identifier": "sub_base_year_7dt_0dis_4499" }, What am I missing? btw, in iOS (I know its a different product as its from the app store, and still, response in React native) I am getting more info: “annual_with_trial”: { “description”: “Give your kid 1 year of fun education”, “price_string”: “₪159.90”, “intro_price_period_unit”: “WEEK”, “currency_code”: “ILS”, “title”: “1 Year Premium Membership”, “price”: 159.89999389648438, “intro_price”: 0, “identifier”: “sub_base_year_7dt_0dis_4499”, “intro_price_period_number_of_units”: 1, “intro_price_period”: “P1Y”, “intro_price_string”: “₪0.00", “intro_price_cycles”: 1 }, Thx

Hello, It's not my first time when I'm asking a question related to aliases, but our problem gets bigger and bigger. So we have an iOS app. The app is in store for a long time now, but we recently integrated RevenueCat for iOS subscriptions (we used to use Stripe in the past). The problem is we have a lot of users that have no alias created in RevenueCat and a bunch of them say they definitely subscribed but they don't appear as subscribed in RevenueCat. Is it related to the fact that they don't have aliases? The way we assign aliases is: we call createAlias on sign up and identify on login. But what happens when we have an old user, that is maybe logged into the app already? Where would be a good place to call identify (or createAlias)? Thank you, Bogdan

We are wondering about the differences of these events. From the docs: CANCELLATION: reason BILLING_ERROR Apple or Google could not charge the subscriber using their payment method. BILLING_ISSUE There has been a problem trying to charge the subscriber. This does not mean the subscription has expired. So how to deal with this? I guess cancellation stays a cancellation. But the Billing issue does not cancel the subscription. So is the BILLING_ISSUE just for information only? Are we supposed to pause the subscription? Also we received the following cancellation events in sequence (for the same user) CANCELLATION: UNSUBSCRIBE + CANCELLATION: BILLING_ERROR How can there be multiple cancellations? Should it be treated the same as BILLING_ISSUE + CANCELLATION: BILLING_ERROR ? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, We ran into a strange scenario where a customer did an in-app purchase through Google Play, but with a delayed charge. Google Play's Orders area shows status updates of "Payment Pending" and "Chargeable" at time stamps that are 4 minutes before the status of "Charged". We were relying on a successful callback from the purchase API call to upgrade the account in our database. From the customer's point of view, they got charged but they did not get upgraded through our app, and so we did a manual workaround in this case. Is this a vary common scenario of a delay of several minutes between customer payment and a successful charge? It happened with a UK-based customers. We're on the basic Revenue Cat plan... as we scale up volume, would you recommend using webhooks to deal with this type of situation? Thanks

Hi I am new to RevenueCat and finally making good progress on IAP. My question is; how do I recognise a purchase has been made / validated etc by RevenueCat? So after the purchase is made I want to transition the view or change the UI (eg buttons) to reflect this change. I have copied, pasted and adapted to my app the Cats tutorial for Swift and I now have working in app purchase method, the product is shown correctly, pricing etc and a receipt ID for the purchase is shown in the console and on RevenueCat dashboard, but I cannot change the view. This confuses me because the sample App Cats shows that this should be automatic, as it simply calls, self.showCatContent() which is a func which changes the view to the next view. But this doesn't work in sandbox. Any tips or ideas for what I am missing and how to make this work as shown? I have tried getting the receipt information to save to my dB but I can't find this available to do it this way. Thanks
