Questions about android implementation and trial #20

Closed sharpMouse closed 5 years ago

sharpMouse commented 5 years ago

  1. Android doesn't have non-renewing subscriptions. How did you implement them? What items should I create in Google Play Console?

  2. If I want to give users some trial, can I do it using this plugin? How? (it's build-in feature of renewing subscriptions, but making trial without subscriptions is very tricky)

  1. For Android, non-renewing subscription are implemented using managed products. On both Android and iOS, non-renewing subscriptions have no "built-in" duration, so this part is managed in the code... You have to store the expiry date on your server or on the device (less secure, but possible).

  2. There is no support for trial periods, it should be possible to add though (check the code, it's not too complicated)

Thank you for the explained answer.

The main problem with trial is that there are no good place to keep initial date - both on Android and iOS local storage is deleted when application is deleted.

If device portability is required, you have to store your users' subscription status on a server (or the cloud).
