IP2Location — Freemium IP geolocation service. LITE database is available for free download. Import the database in the server and perform a local query to determine the city, coordinates, and ISP information.

Azure published their IP geolocation geofeed to IP geolocation providers such as IP2Location. It should be highly accurate.

You can visit IP2Location and check if you are behind an ISP and its actual IP address. You should be fine if your IP address is clean for residential purpose.

If you visit https://www.ip2location.com, does it detect your ISP IP address as from data center?

If you know anyone who is currently onboard, ask them to visit https://www.ip2location.com and send you a screenshot of what it reported. That is the IP geolocation information you want to know.

The common approach is using IP geolocation to identify estimated country of origin.

Do you have clean IP address? You can visit https://www.ip2location.com and see the parameters of your IP address. Is it detected as VPN or with abuses history?

Yes, you can find example of IP geolocation in https://www.ip2location.com and use it to block Utah visitors or anyone behind VPN.

You can check the IP address on testing websites like IP2location, DB-IP, IPinfo, etc. It should be noted that occasionally these websites display different locations for the same IP address. Typically, this is due to the fact that the IP address itself is disputed, which causes various analyses by IP libraries. You will need to contact the proxy provider in this case to obtain a different, higher-quality proxy.

You got it! Yea, I can't promise everything will work perfectly with all those other platforms, but I will promise that I believe we have the best handling out there. We have 10+ engineers fielding issues from 1000s of developers every month and incrementally improving.

We try to collect as little data as possible, but we use RevenueCat for handling the IAP. We currently use it with anonymous (randomly generated) IDs and don't save additional attribution metadata, so we try to be as privacy-friendly as is possible with this setup.

For IAPs, RevenueCat is one of the simplest setup that exists for React Native. And they have an expo plugin. But having this expo management workflow is the first thing you want to do. https://www.revenuecat.com/

Alternatively you could use RevenueCat which would handle receipt validation for you. I haven’t used it personally but everyone seems to sing its praises.

There are services out there like revenuecat (disclaimer: I have no connection with them, other than being a satisfied customer) that help make these things easier. I recommend looking into them if you’re struggling to wrap your head around it on your own, apple’s documentation can be pretty hard to decipher at times.

I'm Josh Holtz, the author of this article. You might now me from my lead maintainer role of fastlane, creator of Indie Dev Monday, and founder of the new Deep Dish Swift conference ☺️ But I also work at RevenueCat to help developers make more money by making in-app purchases and subscriptions easier!

I have integrated RevenueCat in my previous Startup Fitenium to manage subscriptions, and it was one of the best decisions. Instead of having to integrate both Apple and Google play SDK for subscriptions, with RevenueCat I simply integrated their SDK, which is well documented and much easier to work with. Everything else is magically managed by RevenueCat behind the scenes, to properly handle the payments, users, and analytics.
