Question (not an issue)

I was reading Apples documentation about handling subscription billing and noticed this:

Your app must also react to new, renewed, and lapsed subscriptions, and properly handle expired auto-renewable subscriptions that may be in a billing retry state.

I wanted to ask if SwiftyStoreKit is able to handle this (or already does). I am currently using the verifitySubscription() with the 3 types (purchased, expired, not purchased). If a user goes into a billing retry state, do they get put into the expired category?

I'll have to double-check this, but I think they do get placed in the expired category. You'd then need to check the expiry date in the receipt. At that point, your app could provide a grace period.

Hi @Sam-Spencer ,

If it is in an expired state, then can you let me know what should we compare then? Like as per apple doc, We can check the grace_period_expires_date_ms field with the current date, right?

If you have done it, please share your code snippet

It would be very helpful to me

Thanks
