I like the idea, but the randomness could add friction if you want to see a discount and all random()s happen to be false. (You'll need to go back and reopen the preview / the app.)
What do you think about having a fixed (set of) product type(s) always having a discount, e.g. monthly and yearly?

I totally see your point about the friction due to the randomness. I also believe that what we show in previews should be more deterministic.
On the other hand, I do imagine some clients wanting to show the exact information of their products on the previews. However, the introduced randomness does not solve this problem either.
WDYT @aboedo?

Just for some context: this is something I believe we will do at some point. We could on top of that allow users to configure the preview before/when showing it, e.g. with a setting that controls discounts. However these are not solutions for in this PR haha.
This is not a blocker for me btw!

Makes sense, I can imagine the frustration and the confusion if the paywall looks different between opens.
Agreed with Joop that eventually we'll want to get realistic data in there, but in the meantime probably the easiest way to go would be to have a way to tell the SDK what to show.
That way we could do something like what the dashboard does, where it allows you to select whether to preview with intro offer eligible or not.
Probably not something that needs to go into the MVP of this feature and can be added on later before shipping to prod.
And it will set us up nicely for doing something similar for Customer Center, where we'll inevitably need to find a way to select whether to show the CC as a user with an active subscription would see it vs empty subs

I wonder if we could act a bit smarter here and instead of assigning basically a random period to each product, we could try to get the package type provided by the offerings (which has the duration). In case the package type is custom, we could then do something "smart" like analyzing the product id for some keywords like week, month, year.... To assign the duration. And then if we don't find any, as a fallback, assign a random period.

I'll open separate PRs for the new API for enabling the UI Preview mode and for the specific implementation details of this new mode |

We need to add a specific mode for the SDK to allow Paywall Previews in the RevenueCat app
Description
The UI Preview Mode of the SDK should limit all the functionality of the SDK to only enable implementing the Paywall Previews functionality in the RevenueCat, so that developers can properly test their paywalls on their own devices.
This is currently a WIP, as it still only contains the changes implemented by @aboedo.
