Trying to launch an app with a hard paywall - but app can't find live subscriptions?

Using revenue cat. App works fine with test credentials but when I switch over to live, it can't find the subscriptions from App Store Connect. I know it's because the subscriptions have to be reviewed, but I have a hard paywall on my app. What do I do? I only offer weekly and yearly payments, each with a 1 week free trial. It's my first time launching an app, would appreciate any advice.

[For hire] Toronto AI agency, voice agents same day. Taking on a couple more clients this month. Retainer fee.

Hey,I run Kingwest. Small AI shop out of Toronto. Putting this up because we have bandwidth for like 2-3 more builds this month and figured id just post instead of doing the cold outreach thing again.

Mainly we do voice agents. Inbound, outbound, both. The kind that pick up your phone, qualify the lead, book into your calendar, all of it. We ship them same day. Like you sign in the morning and your number is taking calls by 6pm. Ive done this enough times now that its not really a flex anymore, its just the standard.

Through the rest of the week we layer on the stuff around it. Automations (n8n, make, custom), the marketing site if you need one, custom AI features in apps you already have. Evals + monitoring so it doesnt randomly break in prod. You can do just the voice agent or the whole stack, up to you.

Stack depends on what fits but usually vapi, retell, elevenlabs, twilio, openai realtime, anthropic. For CRMs we plug into hubspot, salesforce, ghl, close, pipedrive. n8n for orchestration most of the time. We dont have a religious thing about any specific tool, we pick whats best for the use case.

Honestly the best fit is service clients that are bleeding after hours calls. Plumbers, dentists, clinics, anyone where the phone ringing = money and the phone going to voicemail = lost money.

On our end its senior people only. No juniors no offshore no account manager forwarding emails between you and the actual builder. The person who scopes it is the person who builds it. Fixed fee, scoped on a 30 min call, you get a number and a ship date before you pay anything. You own everything at the end, numbers prompts code data all of it, transferred over. Stripe for payments.

Site is kingwest.ai if you wanna look around. Or just dm me here, or hi@kingwest.ai to book a call. Happy to answer questions in the comments too if anyones curious about the voice agent side, its the part most people get wrong when they try to build it themselves.

saw the wholesale automation thread a couple weeks ago where someone mentioned vapi for inbound and it reminded me i've been meaning to post about this. Vocus AI (vocusai.com). it's basically an AI receptionist but built for real estate specifically, not a generic voice agent you have to wire up yourself.

it makes a phone number for you, uploads your listings as PDFs or just pastes URLs, and it picks up calls and answers questions about the units. it lets people book their own meetings by forwarding them your booking link. for maintenance it also forwards your links for that

the part that got my attention is pricing. $19.99/month flat, unlimited minutes. no per-minute billing. vapi is more famous but you're paying per minute and you have to actually build the agent. this is just configure and go.

couple things worth knowing before you sign up

calendar side looks google-first. if you're on outlook or some leasing CRM with its own scheduling im not sure how it plays they have a demo number you can call, +1 334 487 3753. trained on a fake portfolio. id call it before paying anything. voice AI is hit or miss and you can tell in 30 seconds whether it sounds like a person or a bot reading a script multilingual which is actually useful if you get spanish calls and dont want to staff for it

not gonna replace cold calling or any of the actual seller conversation stuff. its just for the inbound calls youre currently losing to voicemail at 8pm or on weekends. which for me is a non trivial number.

if anyone's actually run it on a real portfolio for a few months lmk how it held up past the demo, thats the part im curious about
