Fix Ezccs testFlight subscription

When you are using the ezccs app that is installed via TestFlight the app uses a fake subscription that run on a different timeline than your actual subscription. You cannot view the expiation date of a TestFlight subscription. Apple has a special subscription system used only for apps installed via TestFlight. This system is usually slow and sometimes, it just doesn’t function. The reason this matters is if your fake/TestFlight subscription expires you need to subscribe again. If the TestFlight subscription system is down or just too slow, the app may crash or hang while trying to subscribe or restore a subscription. This has been happening with greater frequency than usual. The fix is fairly simple and fast.


The fix:


Open the real App Store and search for ezccs. Install the app (press the cloud with the down arrow). This will install the real ezccs and keep your data intact. Do NOT delete ezccs first, that will delete your data (logbook and contacts). When you start ezccs chances are it will direct you to the ezccs subscription page. It might auto-restore or you may need to press restore. This usually take 2 seconds or so. Once the app is functioning again, meaning no subscription issues, you can then open TestFlight and install that latest test version. You can swap back and forth as needed/desired.


I wish the TestFlight system was more reliable but it has been pretty sketch since I started writing ezccs and I don’t expect it to improve. Apple must want it to be a be shaky.



Thanks for running the TestFlight version, because of the delay Apple imposes on releases, it’s a lot easy on the general users population having a few people try out my coding before everyone uses it.
