Has anyone else experienced a random data type called subscription purchases pop up in your data types?

This is for the In App purchases beta that was just released. Similar to the Device built in data type.

I just refreshed my editor, and I see it too - even in apps for which mobile native was never enabled. I suspect it’s not supposed to be there. 🤨 I’d say it’s worth reporting to the Bubble team.

This issue seems to have been resolved, as I no longer see the data type. Kudos to the Bubble team for the speedy fix! 👍

FYI, it was indeed related to the IAP feature for mobile apps…
