Importing vCards on iOS
Hi, we have a web site that allows people to click on a link to a vCard .vcf file to install contact details on their phone. The method for handling this has changed in iOS 13 and it is really confusing people. Previously, the vCard opened in the Contacts app and there was a Save button to add it to contacts. Simple, and people understood it. Now the vCard opens in a preview, but there is no obvious way to save it to their contacts. They have to know to tap the Actions icon, then find the Contacts entry and tap that. Very few people can work that out, instead they just tap the Done button, thinking it has been added. Adding a vCard to your contacts has become too hard for most people to work out.This could easiily be fixed by adding a 'Add to Contacts' button on the preview - and isn't this why most people will open a vCard in the first place?Does anyone know of a trick whereby we can skip the preview screen and open the vCard directly in the Contacts app?Gary

Subscription downgrade renewal in sandbox
Hi, I am testing auto-renew subscriptin in the sandbox. If I purchase a subscription to Level 2, it renews every few minutes and I get notification in app. All good. But if, before it expires I do a downgrade to Level 1 using my app interface to purchase Level 1, the following happens. The Level 2 subscription continues until it expires. What I then expect to happen is that I would then get a notiification that the new subscription has been purchased. But that doesn't happen, the latest receipt is saying the original subscription has expired. It does include the new subscription in the "pending" field, but in that field the "auto_renew_status" is set to 0, which I guess is why it didn't actually happen.My question is: is this a sandbox thing? In production, will the new subscription purchase happen authomatically and I will get a receipt for the purchased downgrade subscription? If not, what is the way to handle this - a message to the user to say to go and manually renew subscription?Gary
