App Feature Flags Using Entitlements
Blog post from RevenueCat
RevenueCat Entitlements offer a flexible system for granting access to app features based on user purchases or manual configuration, functioning as both in-app purchase mechanisms and a remotely configurable access system. Entitlements, identified by unique identifiers like 'premium' or 'beta,' become active with subscriptions or one-time purchases, and can be individually configured to provide or revoke access to specific users. For instance, beta entitlements can be created and managed via the RevenueCat dashboard or API, allowing developers to selectively grant access to certain features without requiring purchases. This system not only supports traditional purchase-based access but also enables developers to manually provide access to loyal users or testers, enhancing customer engagement and feature management flexibility.
