SubscriptionInfo.IsFreeTrial is always false for android

Unity Services

I am currently on Unity 2021.2.15f1 and have installed Unity In-App Purchasing 4.1.4, and subscriptions seem to always be returning false for isFreeTrial.

var subscription = controller.products.WithID(GAME_SUBSCRIPTION);
if (subscription.hasReceipt)
{
    var m = new SubscriptionManager(subscription, null);
    var info = m.getSubscriptionInfo();
    Debug.Log("[Noodle] Is Trial: " + info.isFreeTrial());
    Debug.Log("[Noodle] Is Expired: " + info.isExpired());
    Debug.Log("[Noodle] EXP Date: " + info.getExpireDate());
    Debug.Log("[Noodle] purchase date: " + info.getPurchaseDate());
}

with the results being

Here is my subscription setup on googles end

Any direction would be great. I am leaning toward using cloud save to store the purchase date and just calculating remaining in game trial time based off of that date if this function never works. @JeffDUnity3D

@NoodlecakeStudios Is this a receipt from a valid subscription purchase? Does their user dashboard and purchase email confirmation mention they are in the free trial? So you know, we obtain our data from the Google Billing Library API, and from the receipt. So we (Unity) have no control over the field. The “isFreeTrial” parameter meaning that Google provides is not entirely clear. Does it mean that the subscription product itself offers a free trial? Does it mean the user is currently in a free trial? Does it mean that a free trial is available for the customer? Does it mean that the user has had a free trial in the past? So as you can see, it is not clear at this point. We are hoping that as Google rolls out Google Play Billing Library v4 and v5, they will improve on this.

It might not be a bug if it’s already planned for their next release, but keep us posted. I would encourage you to print out the receipt too (using Debug.Log or just print), and confirm the value.
