iOS lifetime purchase (non-consumable) never expired in sandbox

[vietstone-ng]

Hi,
My RevenueCat works perfectly for subscriptions. I'm trying to add lifetime purchase (non-consumable).

I made a purchase yesterday on iOS. Then I clear the purchase history (both on the device and appstoreconnect's web). The entitlement is still active, even today.

In the attached image, I made the purchase on April 1st. Today is April 2nd. The active entitlement name is "allAccess"

UPDATE: It's still active after 2 days (April 3rd)

Hi @vietstone-ng,
This is because that data is saved in RevenueCat. In production it is impossible for a user to clear their own purchase history so this flow will never happen (even in the case of a refund, Apple keeps the purchase in the history and marks it as refunded.) You will have to delete the customer in RevenueCat to clear the data.

That's what I'm doing and it works well.
iOS: Clear the purchase history + Delete the customer in RevenueCat
Android: Refund directly in RevenueCat or Refund on Play Store console.

PS: Amazing job RevenueCat for bridging the stores at a very affordable price for developers and founders. Kudos to you and please keep it up!

@mshmoustafa I think in case of a refund, you can check the receipt to see whether it's still a valid purchase. Apple will update the cancellationDate property. Reference: tikhop/TPInAppReceipt#100 (comment)

Manually updating RevenueCat seems not the optimized way.

Hi @vietstone-ng, Apologies for the delay, that's true, we do update the record in RevenueCat when we detect the cancellation date. I originally understood that the issue was when you clear purchase history, which is not the same as refunds. Are you having issues with refunds?
