Hi,

We are working to integrate "Enhanced Subscription Recovery" feature into Channels, but it looks that ChannelStore DoRecovery API doesn't return the correct information from Channel Store.

getAllPurchases API returns us products that are in Grace (inDunning: "true", status: "Valid") or On Hold (inDunning: "true", status: "Invalid"), but DoRecovery always returns "recoveryStatus: 1". Also Recovery Dialog doesn't show up.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't we get "recoveryStatus: 2" for these cases?

I am using SceneGraph (SDK 2) example for calling DoRecovery https://developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs/developer-program/roku-pay/subscription-recovery/subscription-...

Thanks in advance!

I have an update regarding this.

The renewal message dialog is displayed if we publish the Channel as beta test Channel, but not when the Channel is installed as a zip for development.

We already enabled Billing Testing https://developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs/developer-program/roku-pay/testing/billing-testing.md

Did anyone figured out how "Enhanced Subscription Recovery" feature can be tested with a zip Channel installed through Development Application Installer?

@ionatan, I'm late to the party, but I'm just trying to implement this now.  I'm guessing you never found a way to test DoRecovery by just sideloading and not having to publish?  I see the same thing you were seeing and I've wasted a day before I found this.

@renojim The only solution that I've found was to create a Beta / Test app and to run tests with it. Unfortunately with this approah is not possible to use debug console.

Thanks!  I'm glad I found your post before I wasted too much time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.  What a pain!  It's exacerbated by having to log into the Developer Dashboard every 15 minutes.  🙄

Years ago I created my own debug print using roDatagramSocket in BS and netcat (which Windows insists on flagging as a virus) to listen on a PC.  It really came in handy while trying to get through this.
