Get IAP Canceled Subscription List (iOS)
Guide for implementing a workflow in Bubble.io to retrieve a list of canceled In-App Purchase (IAP) subscriptions when a user triggers an event.
Overview
This guide walks you through setting up a Bubble.io workflow to fetch canceled In-App Purchase (IAP) subscription data from an iOS app using the "webtonative" plugin. The process triggers when a user interacts with a button (e.g., "Get IAP Canceled Sub"), initiates a search for canceled subscriptions, and retrieves the results for display or further use. This is ideal for managing subscription statuses in your app.
Prerequisites
Bubble.io Account: An active Bubble.io account with a project.
webtonative Plugin: Installed in your Bubble editor (available under Plugins).
Apple Developer Account: Required for iOS testing via TestFlight (optional for initial setup).
Basic Workflow Knowledge: Familiarity with Bubble’s workflow editor.
Step 1: Set Up the Trigger
Purpose: Define the event that starts the process (e.g., a button click).
Instructions:
Open your Bubble editor and navigate to the page where you want this feature.
You can add a button element (e.g., name it "Button Get IAP Canceled Sub") via the "Design" tab.
Select the button, then click "Start/Edit Workflow" to open the workflow editor.
In the "When" section, choose "When the Button Get IAP Canceled Sub is clicked."
This links the workflow to the button click action.
Step 2: Initialize the Canceled Subscriptions Check
Purpose: Begin the process of querying canceled subscriptions using the webtonative plugin.
Instructions:
Click "Click here to add an event..." below the trigger in the workflow editor.
Select "Plugins" > "webtonative - Init IAP Canceled Subscriptions (iOS)" from the dropdown.
This action prepares the iOS app to start retrieving canceled subscription data.
Leave the default settings (no parameters needed unless specified by the plugin).
Step 3: Schedule a Delayed Check
Purpose: Allow a brief delay (1 second) to ensure the initialization completes before fetching results.
Instructions:
After the "Init IAP Canceled Subscriptions" action, click "Click here to add an action..."
Choose "Schedule API Workflow" > "Schedule get IAP Canceled Subs after 1 second."
Set the custom event to "get IAP Canceled Subs."
This delays the next step to give the system time to process.
Step 4: Define the Custom Event to Get Canceled Subscriptions
Purpose: Execute the action to retrieve the canceled subscription data.
Instructions:
In the workflow editor, locate or create the "get IAP Canceled Subs" custom event.
Click "Click here to add an event..." and select "Plugins" > "webtonative - Get IAP Canceled Subs (iOS)."
This fetches the list of canceled subscriptions.
Configure the action:
Secret: Enter your App Store shared secret (e.g., vs234bd34f404fd31bd2ac22)
Is Test: Set to "Yes" for testing purposes.
Receipt Data: Check this option to include subscription receipt details.
Step 5: Retrieve Transaction Data
Purpose: Extract and inspect the transaction data associated with canceled subscriptions (for testing or debugging).
Instructions:
After the "Get IAP Canceled Subs" action, click "Click here to add an action..."
Select "Plugins" > "webtonative - Grab IAP Transaction Data (only for checking)."
This pulls detailed transaction data, such as whether a subscription was already purchased or canceled.
The result will be available as "Result of step 1 (webtonative - Get...)" with fields like "success" and "message."
Step 6: Display Results for Testing
Purpose: Show the retrieved data as an alert to verify the workflow works (optional).
Instructions:
After the "Grab IAP Transaction Data" action, click "Click here to add an action..."
Choose "Show an alert" or "Display data."
Set the content to "Result of step 1 (webtonative - Get...)" > "message" to display the result (e.g., "Is Already Purchased" or "success").
Set "Only when" to "Click" to trigger on the button press.
Note: This step is for testing only. In a live app, you might save the data to a database or display it in a list.
Note: Whenever a user triggers the action to get canceled subscriptions, it will always provide a list of all canceled subscriptions.
Full Workflow Summary
Trigger: When "Button Get IAP Canceled Sub" is clicked.
Steps:
Initialize the canceled subscriptions check with "webtonative - Init IAP Canceled Subscriptions."
Schedule "get IAP Canceled Subs" to run after 1 second.
Fetch canceled subscriptions with "webtonative - Get IAP Canceled Subs."
Grab transaction data with "webtonative - Grab IAP Transaction Data."
(Optional) Show the result as an alert for testing.
Testing and Deployment
Testing:
Use the "Is Test" option and deploy to TestFlight for iOS testing.
Verify that the alert displays the expected data (e.g., canceled subscription details).
Production:
Replace the alert with actions to save data to your Bubble database (e.g., create a "Canceled Subs" data type).
Remove testing flags and ensure the plugin is configured for live use.
Troubleshooting
No Data Returned: Check the "Secret" key and ensure the webtonative plugin is properly set up.
Errors: Review the plugin documentation or the Bubble community for support.
