For most apps, this works seamlessly. But if you have a paywall that needs to appear _immediately_ — like an onboarding paywall shown right at first launch — you can tell the SDK to preload that campaign's paywalls first. That's what **Priority Placements** do. This feature is also referred to as **prioritized placements** or **prioritized campaign preloading**. When you mark a campaign as prioritized, the SDK fetches and caches that campaign's paywalls before anything else. Other campaign paywalls are still preloaded afterward in the background. diff --git a/content/docs/dashboard/dashboard-campaigns/campaigns-placements.mdx b/content/docs/dashboard/dashboard-campaigns/campaigns-placements.mdx index 2d505a6a..05814813 100644 --- a/content/docs/dashboard/dashboard-campaigns/campaigns-placements.mdx +++ b/content/docs/dashboard/dashboard-campaigns/campaigns-placements.mdx @@ -2,91 +2,6 @@ title: "Placements" --- - - -# Superwall: Subscription Infrastructure for $1.5B+ in Annual Subscription Revenue - -Superwall is a subscription infrastructure platform — entitlements, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, and direct SQL access to subscription data — for iOS, Android, and Web.

That can seem concerning, but in almost all cases, it's nothing to worry about. Whenever a `WKWebView` is created, WebKit reserves a chunk of memory (typically 512MB) for virtual machine allocation. That memory is reserved by iOS, and most apps using WebKit on iOS will see similar readings during profiling within Instruments. In short, this is just how `WKWebView` is designed to work under the hood. diff --git a/content/docs/support/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pending-trials-not-converting.mdx b/content/docs/support/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pending-trials-not-converting.mdx index 159ab54f..b4034070 100644 --- a/content/docs/support/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pending-trials-not-converting.mdx +++ b/content/docs/support/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pending-trials-not-converting.mdx @@ -2,91 +2,6 @@ title: "Why are my trials still showing as pending after they should have converted?" --- - - -# Superwall: Subscription Infrastructure for $1.5B+ in Annual Subscription Revenue - -Superwall is a subscription infrastructure platform — entitlements, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, and direct SQL access to subscription data — for iOS, Android, and Web.
