I talked to Apple and they told me this is fine as long as it's clear to the user that the free trial has started already and that the app is not free. I'll try that.

Did anyone find a solution? Im in the same situation :(

Did this suggestion work? I'm going through something similar right now.

Any updates on this? I'm facing the same issue of @Query loading all the data at once. Is there a way to update the UI when a SwiftData model changes without using @Query?
