Paid Appetize account cannot seem to be used #362

Summary

Hey, we aim to embed Snack snippets in our product's documentation and I'm currently looking for a way to bypass queues when previewing the apps on Appetize Android/iOS emulators.

I couldn't find any information about connecting a paid Appetize subscription (which should enable that) with Snack, so I started by asking around on Discord. Turned out there's an undocumented option to pass appetizePayerCode to Snack embeds. I can see it's referenced in several places in the code.

The next challenge was to generate said payer code on Appetize's admin dashboard, as I couldn't find it anywhere. I contacted their support and there's an undocumented page that isn't linked to by anything, hidden here. I was able to generate the code as we already have a Basic subscription.

Now I'm testing passing the code in my snack embeds, and I can see the option is passed to the Snack's iframe URL. However, the account doesn't seem to be used at all. There's still a preview queue and I don't have any usage noted on our Appetize account. Is this option still supported?

What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android, iOS

SDK Version

No response

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

  1. Subscribe for a paid Appetize account and generate a payer code here: https://appetize.io/payer-code
  2. Create an Expo Snack snippet with any sort of valid code and save it
  3. Use the Snack embed code to place it on a website. Pass the payer code to data-snack-appetize-payer-code attribute
  4. Load the embed on the website and turn on the app preview on either iOS or Android
  5. There's still a waiting queue

Hey @Salet, I'm a software engineer at Appetize. I looked into this and it was an issue on our side. It should be resolved now. Apologies for the inconveniences.

We are also going to improve our documentation re: Payer Codes.

Thanks @mattjennings, I tested again and the option seems to be working correctly now. Much appreciated.

Perhaps the appetizePayerCode could be added to Snack docs as well. However, it wasn't the point of this issue and so I'm closing it for now.
