Hard Paywall or WorkAround

Hey Everyone, The Problem: Paywall looks great, is super easy to implement, BUT seems easy to bypassThe issue is when you runContentView() .presentPaywallIfNeeded(requiredEntitlementIdentifier: "standard")you get a great UI on the iOS paywall, but the user can swipe down and go to ContentView() for free, or press the ‘close button’ x in the upper right hand corner and get to the ContentView for free. This issue was raised here a few months ago, but there does not seem to be a solution yet. An Idea of Workaround, but it’s not there yetOne way I like to add logic goes like thisif subscriptionManager.isSubscribed || subscriptionManager.isOnIntroductoryOffer { ContentView() } else { PaywallView() //But seems to have no way to send this to ContentView }above you can see that I just to the logical check myself. But the issue then is that even if I call the PaywallView() itself, you do get th

Implementing Custom Logic Between Call to Action and Purchase Action on RevenueCat Paywalls

Hello,I'm curious if it's feasible to incorporate custom logic between the "call to action" button and the purchase action on RevenueCat paywalls. Here's a more detailed explanation of what I have in mind for my implementation: Upon a user selecting a subscription product on the paywall and tapping the "call to action" button, instead of proceeding with the purchase immediately, I aim to present the option for users to "sign in with Apple." Following successful sign-in with Apple, the purchase process would then proceed. Otherwise, if the user chooses not to sign in, the purchase action would not proceed. Is it technically achievable to implement such functionality within RevenueCat?Many thanks in advance!

Implementing Custom Variables in RevenueCat Paywalls

Hello,I'm interested in incorporating custom variables for each package within RevenueCat paywalls. Is this possible? To clarify, let's consider a scenario with two packages displayed on the RC paywall, namely pkgA and pkgB. For each package, I aim to integrate two custom strings: strA1 and strA2 for pkgA, and strB1 and strB2 for pkgB. In this context, these custom variables (strA1, strA2, strB1, strB2) are distinct from the variables mentioned on your "Displaying Paywalls" page. Essentially, I'm seeking complete flexibility in defining the values of strA1, strA2, strB1, and strB2.Could you provide guidance on how to implement this?Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[Unity] If I want to use the SDK in the Amazon store, do I need to use the version tagged "amazon-latest"?

I have verified that I can purchase products in the Amazon AppStore Live App Testing using the Unity SDK in version 6.9.3.https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-unity#amazon-support> This version of the SDK doesn't have support for Amazon Store. If you would like to use our SDK with Amazon Store, use the version tagged amazon-latest and follow the AMAZON-INSTRUCTIONS.md docs to get set up.However, the GitHub readme says I need to use the version tagged "amazon-latest".Is the information in the GitHub readme out of date?

No hard paywall?

We use react native and want a hard paywall. The issue is a user does the onboarding flow > sees paywall > can swipe down or press “x” and it goes. Even if a user goes off the app then back on, the paywall won’t pop up again. Is revenuecat paywalls only worth doing for freemium business models? If so this should be highlighted upfront.

Issue with Closed Testing Program and Credit Card Information Request

Hello RevenueCat Community,I'm encountering an issue where, despite setting up a closed testing program and adding my email to the list, I'm still being prompted for credit card information when installing the app on my phone. This behavior persists even though I've successfully joined the testing program through the provided link.Details:Platform: Android using flutter SDK Version: purchases_flutter: ^6.26.0 Testing Program Setup: I've created a closed testing program in the RevenueCat dashboard and added my email to the list. The program is configured to not require payment information.Issue: When I install the app on my phone using the same email, the system still requests credit card information. This behavior is unexpected since I'm part of the closed testing program.Steps Taken:I've ensured that the email used in the app matches the one added to the testing program. I've tried clearing the app's cache and reinstalling it to no avail. I've verified that the RevenueCat SDK is corre

Third-Party Integrations

Asapty integration

It would be great to have a direct Asapty integration. It’s possible via webhooks right now, but it would be so much nicer to just have a button. From my research, they seem like a fantastic ASA provider.

Anyway to attach custom metadata to a user's payment

We need to add some metadata (key-values) to user’s payments. As an example, we’d like to send workspaceId and other key-value parameters along with a payment that user is creating.I understand that there is a Subscriber attributes which offers capturing custom metadata on the user object, however what we need is to attach metadata to individual payments and not users.Anyway to acheive this functionality with RevenueCat APIs?

Best way to introduce a cross platform offer code affiliate program?

We are playing with the idea of introducing an affiliate program that revolves around using offer codes to track purchases. Very much in the same way that you see podcasts doing it by telling their listeners to enter code “PODCAST” to get 10% off, which in turn allows the company to track sales and measure campaign performance. I know that iOS and Android both have offer codes, but I think this type of thing would require a more custom solution. Has anyone done this before? I know we could easily build our own system that generates codes, and let users enter a code in the app, which we verify, then display alternate pricing and tag the user with the offer code. But then we have to figure out the best way to track sales, retention, life time value, refunds, etc. to determine how to pay affiliates. Would we be able to utilize any of the integrations for this purpose? Has anyone done this in combination with a promotional service like https://www.talon.one/?Any insight here would be appre

Proper Error Handling

I’m working on the best way to handle errors in my app, referencing the revenuecat error documentation.It seems to me that there are broadly four classes of error:`PurchaseCancelledError` - which is simple enough to handle in the UI `NetworkError` - in which a purchase definitely didn’t go through, and I can give my users a chance to retry the purchase Errors related to my code and configuration - in this case, I should display an error message, send an alert to our error logging system, and not allow the user to proceed. And `StoreProblemError`The last category of error I find puzzling - `StoreProblemError`. The documentation says that “If everything was working while testing, you shouldn't have to do anything to handle this error in production. RevenueCat will automatically retry any purchase failures so no data is lost.” So if I’m reading this correctly, the user will not have an active subscription made immediately, but they will have a subscription made eventually because the rev

There's a problem with your configuration. None of the products registered in the RevenueCat dashboard could be fetched from App Store Connect (or the StoreKit Configuration file if one is being used).

Just launched my app with subscriptions on Monday.On Tuesday I had an iOS user successfully subscribe to a Monthly plan.Now, Wednesday morning, I’m seeing this error in my Sentry dashboard. Not quite sure what to make of this. Clearly things were working well enough ~12 hours prior that someone was able to subscribe - and I haven’t touched/changed anything since.Only the one error / one user so far - but I’m concerned it could continue.

Reading Revenue Cat Purchases Flutter Web

How does RC recommend anyone already using mobile to get the existing purchases and subscriptions for users on a Flutter Web app given no RC Flutter Web SDK. I want to ensure subscribers on Mobile can log in on Web and their subscriptions are retrieved. I see there is the Revenue Cat API, and also Firebase Integrations. I want to understand what the best practice is. Thanks
