How to Get Cross-Platform Subscriptions Right

Managing in-app subscriptions across iOS, Android, and web platforms involves navigating the complexities of Apple’s StoreKit, Google Play Billing Library, and Stripe, each with distinct architectures and data handling methods. Developers face challenges such as identity validation, managing entitlements, and integrating data with third-party tools due to the lack of standardization across platforms. Each platform has unique discrepancies, like Apple's missing transaction prices or Google's receipt data limitations, complicating unified data management. RevenueCat aims to alleviate these issues by serving as a central system for identity validation and entitlement management, ensuring consistent data handling and integration with other tools. Furthermore, it provides a future-proofing mechanism by quickly adapting to platform updates, allowing developers to focus on app development rather than platform-specific intricacies.
