Lifetime purchase not upheld - is this intentional?

Description

It appears that AudioRelay’s prior IAPs are not being upheld or transferred to the alpha version from version 0.26.1, due to the use of different in-app purchase IDs. This feels like it should be announced more clearly if intentional, as it’s a change regarding an advertised lifetime purchase. There was an attempt to start a conversation over email regarding this issue, but a conclusion was not reached.

Slight update, maybe it’s a bug. I maintain access to my lifetime subscription if I update the app from the Play Store version to Alpha 4, and stay signed out of the AudioRelay account. Once I sign in to attempt to sync my premium status, it locks out to free and ignores all attempts to restore purchases.
