Zen only works with firefox accounts and takes all mainstream from that. So worth a look if that's the only gotcha, they do have security in place.

Have you tried zen-browser.app yet? a lot different, but some commonalities with Arc, but Firefox rather than chromium under the hood. I've been using it full time for months and found it pretty good.
Zen Browser
Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features.

The key file is the one from GCP, has all the right data. So not just a bad key.

I haven't uploaded the app to Google Play yet.

Thanks for encouragement. I'll keep ya posted in how it goes.

Yea hopefully it's not too bad. Will see how we go this week. I feel once I get this down I got the building blocks for the next app. This is just the learning curve.

Yea I was hoping they would so the idea is a login screen then I can shoot the users I'd over to revenue cat. That would mean they can change device / manage everything using revenuecat.

Will see how it works. Haven't read too much of the docs yet

The pay wall would link with Google pay and Apple pay so that they got their cut.

Not sure how people do the subscribe through Google play and then still link data with account so I hope login and then pay wall works

Oh this is awesome thanks. I am doing subscriptions, what do you mean by restore purchases?

I was going to integrate revenuecat to do all the billing, but the app is account based so I assumes I could put a login screen (apple and google) and then add the pay wall after the account.

Yea it's taken me this long to build a non Web app. So never done the setup before.

Ios stuff will follow but want to get it on my phone for testing first

Yea nice, I think I'm going to have a look at Expo and see how that goes. Just to see if I can roll out a template that I can copy for each new app I create.

Oh interesting, I haven't even looked at Native PHP for mobile, what Libraries / Frameworks are needed? Sounds super interesting

Same here, I will always default to a webapp, easier to run updates, roll out and migrate from place to place.

However, this one kinda requires it to be iOS/Android, so learning a lot along the way. But it is super frustrating. Add that and working out how payments work has been a mission.
