Hi, I'm using the App Store Server API for in-app purchase receipt validation. However I received 401 error status code. My app is ready for submit in App Store Connect, but not yet published the first version. The receipt is generated using StoreKit test configuration and follow the Sandbox testing instruction. It is generated on a real device using Sandbox Apple account registered in the App Sandbox tester section. If I go back to use the deprecated verifyReceipt API sandbox endpoint, I get {'status': 21002} error instead. Is it expected for an App that has not yet published in App Store? If not, is there any way to test the in-app purchase server-side validation before the App is release?

Do we require a Vietnamese bank account to receive payments from in-app purchases for our new educational app being developed in Japan, or will the funds be automatically transferred to our Japanese bank account?

We've switched over to using the new App Store Server API on our server instead of the deprecated Apple verify receipt method. But we've noticed some differences between our purchase records approved by the App Store Server API and what's shown on the Apple iTunes dashboard for purchases made on May 7th, 2024. Just to clarify, the purchase dates are in UTC time and are taken from the Apple Store API transaction requests. Below are the purchase dates and the subscription names for the 7th. 2024-05-07 22:46:16 - monthly subscription 2024-05-07 22:31:53 - monthly subscription 2024-05-07 22:26:53 - six months subscription 2024-05-07 22:19:16 - monthly subscription 2024-05-07 22:01:04 - monthly subscription 2024-05-07 21:28:56 - six months subscription 2024-05-07 20:09:04 - six months subscription 2024-05-07 20:01:31 - six months subscription 2024-05-07 19:43:24 - monthly subscription 2024-05-07 19:12:30 - annual subscription 2024-05-07 18:30:36 - six months subscription 2024-05-07 00:43:33 - monthly subscription While our records indicate these transactions, the Apple iTunes dashboard only displays 3 monthly subscriptions for May 7th. May 6th and 5th is worse; almost 1 or 2 monthly subscriptions are showing. We think there's a problem that Apple engineers or developers need to look into. Before, when we used the verify receipt method in our API, purchases would show up on the iTunes dashboard the next day. But now that we've switched to the new transaction method, there's a delay in seeing these purchases on the dashboard. Have you migrated to the new App Store Server API and encountered a similar issue? What could be causing this delay?

Hello, I call transaction information for several apps. And I don't have environment information. That's why I'm calling the sandbox environment as an official guide. Call the endpoint using the production URL. If the call succeeds, the transaction identifier belongs to the production environment. If you receive an error code 4040010 TransactionIdNotFoundError, call the endpoint using the sandbox environment. If the call succeeds, the transaction identifier belongs to the sandbox environment. If the call fails with the same error code, the transaction identifier isn’t present in either environment. However, unlike the official guide, certain apps sometimes use production URLs to call endpoints to receive 401 status codes and successfully call endpoints using the sandbox environment. Why does this difference occur unlike the official guide? I receive a 401 status code in response from a production environment endpoint, I want to know if this status code is a real error or if I have to call it into a sandbox environment. Can I check with the key 'x-apple-request-uuid' in the response header? Please let me know the solution.

Hi, I am implementing in-app subscriptions in my application and would like to set up a module in my admin portal by which I can create subscription products via my custom module. For this purpose I need API's that allow me to create subscription products. Please let me know if such a solution is possible, if it is, then please share the API's and payload by which I could implement it. Thank you in advance.

I call transaction information for several apps. And I don't have environment information. So I'm calling the sandbox environment as an official guide. However, unlike the official guide, certain apps sometimes succeed by calling an endpoint using a production URL to receive an error code 401 and calling an endpoint using a sandbox environment. Why does this difference occur unlike the official guide? Because of this difference, sometimes it's a production environment and JWT hasn't expired, but I get a 401 error and call the sandbox environment. 2. Please let me know the solution.

Apple automatically refunds the prorated amount on the original subscription after it is upgraded. Since upgrades happen immediately and start a new billing cycle beginning from the day of upgrade, the previous original subscription is refunded for the prorated amount. Is there any way to retrieve the amount that was refunded by Apple? The transaction that was upgraded is marked with isUpgraded flag to true but the price field on it still shows the full amount and there is no App Store Server Notification that tells us how much was the refund. How do I get the refunded amount?

I am trying to call Get Transaction Info inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} from PHP server but it always send me back 404 transactions not found, I receive the transactionId from the app/client when the frontend developer extract the transactionId from the Recipe. I have generated a good JWT it work with the other endoints such as making some product reads. I didn't configured server url as I will not use the notification.

Hi, I am processing both REFUNDED and REVOKED transactions on the client-side and on the server using Apple's App Store Server Notifications (V2). For transactions with an inAppOwnershipType of FAMILY_SHARED, I receive REVOKE notifications that (sometimes) do not include a revocationDate. What does this imply, and what actions should I take? Additionally, when I query their transaction IDs using the App Store API, they also lack a revocationDate and do not appear in the results when I filter for revoked transactions. Is it appropriate to block these users? Why are server-to-server REVOKE notifications sent in the first place if the transaction does not appear as revoked in the API? Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm try to get out of verifyReceipt endpoint by following this link https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10143/ at the end of video so after using ReceiptUtility extract receipt data to get transationId then using getTransactionHistory to do what? it doesn't clear in the video. Where I can get document on how to verify receipt with AppStoreServerAPI.

Hello everyone. I'm try to get out of verifyReceipt for my app. I'm try to following this link https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10143/ Then I'm testing by using old receipt from my app. Using receiptUtility.extractTransactionIdFromAppReceipt(appReceipt); I got this transaction Id 160000542059454. Then follow the step in the video to get all transaction history I realize that it missing transaction which have productype as consumable. If I'm using getTransactionInfo an pass that Id I can fetch the info of that transaction. So my question is how to get all transaction Id history.

Hi, For a user who subscribed a product via In-App Purchase, how does the application backend know that the user is still subscribed? The initial purchase happens on the mobile app. Via receiving and validating the receipt of initial purchase, the backend of mobile app would be informed. However, what is the appropriate option for the subsequent subscription payments? How do I know whether the user is still paying? Thanks.

There is the bundleVersion exist in this document, and for the notificationType CONSUMPTION_REQUEST, the payload what we always received contains the bundleVersion, but today we receive one CONSUMPTION_REQUEST request payload without the bundleVersion. So we wanna know what means of bundleVersion? Is that always exist? when does it not exist?(for both notification type) Thanks in advance

Hello. How can I get transaction information when a payment request is submitted to the app store server

I received a version 1 server notification. auto_renew_status is true and another pending_renewal_info.auto_renew_status is 0. So did the user turn the subscription on or off?

Our service has an IOS and Android app and a backend server. I have a question about handling refunds for simultaneous payments on Android and IOS. Is there any way to cancel and refund the IOS subscription payment in the backend when Google is paid first and IOS is paid almost simultaneously? For Android, unlike IOS IAP, the backend server can confirm the purchase with a purchase confirmation (ack), so even if IOS is paid first at almost the same time, it is possible to cancel it by checking the payment data in the backend and not sending an ack to Google's server if the IOS payment is already made.

For V1 used for internal purchase verification, when will the exclusive shared key regenerated after transfer be replaced? Will it affect in-app purchases and subscriptions by online users? The V2 used for internal purchase verification uses the key ID instead of the dedicated shared key. In this case, what should we pay attention to before and after the transfer? Do I need to regenerate the key ID for the new account? Is the private shared key still useful? Do I need to generate a dedicated shared key again in the transferred App? What will be the impact on existing subscriptions after the transfer? What do I need to do with the current existing subscriptions? We have used universalLink, do we need to add a new TeamId to the apple-app-site-assn. txt file? { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": “TeamIdA.com.***.***”, "paths": [""] }, { "appID": “TeamIdB.com.***.***”, "paths": [""] } ] } } We have stored the login information in Keychain Sharing, is there no way to get the original stored information after transfer? Is there a reasonable solution?

We received a notification DID_FAIL_TO_RENEW(subtype:(Empty)) from App Store when the subscription failed to renew because of a billing issue. After this case, we predict that we will receive the notifications based on the following two cases. If the user resolves a billing issue: Receives notification DID_RENEW(subtype:(BILLING_RECOVERY)) If the user does not resolve the billing issue and cancels the subscription: Receives notification EXPIRED(subtype:BILLING_RETRY) Based on the above， I would like to ask two questions Are the above two cases and the notification types we expected correct? If wrong, please tell me what is wrong. If there are other than the above two cases, please tell me the case and notification type.

Hello, I'm inquiring in regard to information on handling user's subscriptions, specifically if it's possible to cancel a subscription with a line of code. For example: if condition { // cancel user's subscription } I'm not familiar with the App Store Server API yet, but I glanced at the documentation and I didn't see any information in regard to the question I have. That being said, I'm also wondering where to start with configuring a subscription model for my app. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is there a Apple store API that can list all the in-app subscriptions (active, expired, cancelled, charged-back etc) for an app? I can see a developer API listed here - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_transaction_history using which I can only retrieve data for a single user. I am not looking for purchases by a single user but as an finance admin I want a list of all subscription purchases (active, expired, cancelled, charged-back) for a time period range that I pass as input parameters so I can generate accrued/deferred revenue report for my company. Is there a way? Please assist.
