I ran it and the app is still on the free version.

Run the code of SobhnathxLuffy. Its worked for me

bro its not working for 4.6 any tips you can provide?

I'm on 4.6 version and this worked for me. Try the code JustaTurtle21 just updated above, https://gist.github.com/miketartar/0fc8d7bca2369ce73ea9ee7b6e0c3775?permalink_comment_id=5426749#gistcomment-5426749. Just download python, set up the environment, create a file name.txt, and open CMD, type "python name.txt" and it should be worked. Screenshot 2025-04-15 182327

What is the emaning of setting up environment? I don't know
