I've hit several walls and this one I cannot get past.I don't understand how subscriptions work for an app I've published and am unable to get them live.
I've followed the docs online about setting up a subscription, they've been submitted and approved, I've removed the base price for my app so people aren't gated from downloading it, yet, when a person downloads the app, they have full unrestricted access without having to subscribe.
I don't get it.
It seems to me that I may be responsible for building a gate in my own app that requires choosing a subscription. Is that right? If so, what is the purpose and use of the subscription the App Store Connect offers?
If it is incorrect and Apple should actually be directing people to choose a subscription - what am I doing wrong?
I think the hole in the wall cannot get any bigger from hitting my head with it at this point. I need help that isn't just "have you read this article?" or "follow the instructions on this help page". I've done it. I've read it. Yet here I am, pleading for some actual guidance on how to get this done.
