good morning everyone, I have a problem of understanding, my app unlocks content after registration, we offer a trial period of xx days to allow new users to use the full version at the end of these days if they want to continue using the full app they have to register without any payment. The app release documentation mentions a xx-day trial period in the Payments section: Apps without a subscription may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by configuring a non-consumable IAP item at price level 0 that follows the naming convention: “XX-day trial.” Prior to the start of the trial period, the app must clearly identify the duration, content or services that will no longer be accessible at the end of the trial period, and any downstream costs that the user will have to pay for full functionality. should we also use the IAP method even though there is never any mention of purchase but only registration ? thank you in advance for your help

Hello, I want to use universal links in my application, for which I need to get the TeamID and BundleId, for apple-app-site-association file. Can you please tell me, do I have to buy an Apple Developer Account at the time of development to do this, or can I get it all for free at the time of development?

We are facing issues since we shifted our react native iOS project from sdk 16 to sdk 17. While we are still able to build our app but there are some issues with our app’s functionality. Did any one else face similar challenges? We are on react-native version 0.71.8

I have a question regarding in-app purchasing and subscriptions for an app that interfaces with a custom hardware product. Say there is a custom electronic product that communicates over BLE to an app. The custom hardware is sending different types of sensor data collected on the device to the ios app and that data is stored on a backend. If the mobile app plans to have a paid subscription, but still allow users to use the app without a paid subscription but simply limit access to view some of that collected data (for example, locked/greyed out screens or limits features available in the app), does that fall under the IAP requirements of Apple? In the described case, would Apple mandate the app use the App Store's in-app purchasing system and take the 15-30% cut for the paid subscriptions? Or does that not apply since the data is collected by a custom hardware product? I am a little unclear on this. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Below, I have a button designed to facilitate the purchase of a subscription, which depends on the availability of the subscription in App Store Connect. This button is visible when testing locally using a StoreKit Configuration File synced from App Store Connect, and I have linked my subscription to my app in the information section. Currently, my app is in a "waiting for review" status, and the subscription is marked as "developer action needed - rejected." However, this issue of the button not appearing persisted even when the subscription was previously in the "waiting for review" status, indicating that the problem may not be related to the subscription status. I'm encountering an issue where the 'request products' function returns no results in the TestFlight environment, even when using a sandbox Apple ID. This problem has led to repeated rejections of my app, as testers are unable to verify its functionality. What could be causing these issues? VStack { if storeVM.subscriptions.isEmpty { if storeVM.isLoading { ProgressView("Loading subscriptions...") .progressViewStyle(.circular) .scaleEffect(2.0) .padding() } else if let errorMessage = storeVM.errorMessage { Text("Error: \(errorMessage)") .foregroundColor(.red) .padding() } else { Text("No subscriptions available") .padding() } } else { ForEach(storeVM.subscriptions, id: \.id) { product in Button(action: { Task { await buy(product: product) } }) { HStack { Spacer() Text("Unlock 3-day free trial. \nThen $23.99 per year. Cancel anytime.") .font(.custom("Lora-VariableFont_wght", size: 20)) .foregroundColor(.white) .lineSpacing(5) Spacer() } } .padding() .background(Color.black.opacity(0.6)) .cornerRadius(10) .padding(.horizontal, 10) } } .onAppear { Task { await storeVM.requestProducts() } } func requestProducts() async { isLoading = true errorMessage = nil do { subscriptions = try await Product.products(for: productIds) isLoading = false } catch { print("Failed product request from App Store server: \(error)") isLoading = false errorMessage = "Failed to load products" } }

Hi, as I checked now multiple threats in the internet I cant find a solution to solve the Problems with the Apple Guidelines. Our Business Model is based on pay per user. As Apple rejected our App due to not compatible guidelines I cant figure out how to implement pay per user with InApp Purchase. Because I cannot find a solution to increate the subscriptions because you can only have 1 Subscription per Account. I cant increase the subscription amount nor adjust prices of the subscription when they invite a user for example. I really need help to figure out how to solve this type of issue. I appreciate any hints how I could solve this.

I try to fetch subscriptions with included relationships according to the documentation GET https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/subscriptionGroups/12345678/subscriptions?include=[ "appStoreReviewScreenshot", "group", "introductoryOffers", "offerCodes", "prices", "promotedPurchase", "promotionalOffers", "subscriptionAvailability" ] The form of include field is taken from the official OpenAPI spec In the response I get a bunch of errors What am I doing wrong? { "errors": [ { "id": "0c02ac40-47c6-4107-b725-930e938a587f", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "'[ \"appStoreReviewScreenshot\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "cf2e214a-cab7-4e63-8971-d8974b0903f6", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"group\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "56d7e72f-cf29-4fac-9456-79074e294567", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"introductoryOffers\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "abdaf783-9a95-4053-a614-bcee7aedab45", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"offerCodes\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "53270b6c-f0f5-4d18-9004-2c99ce9905bd", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"prices\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "9676075f-d2fb-493e-b093-c973e3b103d2", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"promotedPurchase\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "451dd333-1c75-4e22-90e1-40c6532fa465", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"promotionalOffers\"' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } }, { "id": "b0afb70e-ab6a-4aa3-9840-3e94844d3385", "status": "400", "code": "PARAMETER_ERROR.INVALID", "title": "A parameter has an invalid value", "detail": "' \"subscriptionAvailability\" ]' is not a valid relationship name", "source": { "parameter": "include" } } ] }

In order to submit my new subscription for review I need to upload a screen. No matter what resolution image I upload it fails saying "Your file could'nt be save. Try again if the problem persists, contact us" I am using many different types of simulators (Iphone 15 - Iphone Xs) and physical devices to take a screenshot and nothing is accepted. I can see the error message being returned from apples API is "IMAGE_BAD_DIMENSIONS_SM_LESS_MIN" so assume its a resolution issue. I am following the current guidelines here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/screenshot-specifications

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.

Hi, I'm implementing in app purchase/subscriptions for my application and would like to setup a financial report module in my admin portal. I am bit confused, is it possible to get financial reports and invoices via the API when in sandbox account. Also I would greatly appreciate it if you could also share the API and parameters needed, by which we can get the finance reports and invoices. Thank You in advance.

APPLE ID IS SAME Please try to understand my situation by an example. We have three plans on App Store. one month three months one year Is this default behaviour of the app store in-app purchases, Am I missing something or doing something wrong. Is it really not possible to purchase two subscriptions from same Apple ID and both got renew parallely. Please note these all cases are for same Apple ID. I signed up as User A and purchased one month subscription successfully. I logged out from User A and signed up as User B and tried to purchase one month subscription, I got error that subscription is already active. Now again tried to purchase three months plan, purchase is successfull but what happened when I again logged in as User A, then his subscription didn’t get renewed. I am not getting any hook to cancel or expire the User A subscription.

My app offers a premium subscription, and all works well locally when I test with a Sandbox tester account. However, in app review, the reviewers are not able to access premium - Apple does not open the subcription/payments modal when the reviewers click the "Get Premium" button. I'm wondering if it's because I haven't "attached" my subscription to my review as described in https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-submissions-to-app-review/submit-for-review/? The instructions says: "On the right, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section, then click Select in-app purchases and subscriptions. When submitting a subscription for the first time, it must be submitted with a new app version." But I don't see any "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section on this page. Am I missing something or are the docs outdated?

I am not sure if this is just Xcode and Storekit2 behaving weird. I am getting all products every time during my testing, even though I have pricing enabled for US and non-US in the same subscription group. How do I handle this scenario? Isn't SubscriptionStoreView supposed to handle this by itself depending on media and purchases country? Thanks in advance for your response!

On Testflight the SubscriptionStoreView() is loading endlessly (see Image below). In Xcode it works. What could be the problem?

I have an app where fans can subscribe to multiple content creators and this is implemented using a sub group for each creator. I want to add a new "all access" subscription that gets them access to everything. We are treating this as an upgrade from the individual sub. Is there a way to cancel (or swap) the individual sub when they subscribe to the bundled sub? I know within a sub group it is possible to go between sub levels, but not sure about across sub groups.

I'm setting up subscriptions on the App Store and need to fill out some forms. One of them is the "U.S. Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner." At the bottom of the form, I see a label 'U.S. Person' with my name listed underneath it. What does "U.S. Person" mean here? My name appears below the "U.S. Person" title, but I'm not a U.S. person. What should I do? Also, what title should I enter? I'm the only developer on the app.

Hello, I need to be sure we are doing correct. Can we clarify we can present list of available subscriptions and current subscription to the user in the iOS app where we don't use any payments inside. We have payments only on the web page. Basically our subscriptions allow users to extent hardware devices our consumers buy at us. It's clear for us that we are not able to call for actions for payments and we are not able to user other payment methods in the app. But it's not clear for me if we are allowed to show subscriptions without any action for payments. Here is Description of Business Model In one of the first submissions of our app to the app store about 5 years ago we clarified our business model in detail during the review and it was confirmed that it is fine for this model to collect a fee outside of the app. The main reason was that the value creation happens fully outside of the app. The model did not change since. We are happy to describe here our business model in more detail. The Solar Manager System comprises a hardware https://www.solarmanager.ch/produkt/gateways/,, a backend, a web application and an app (the one under review). The hardware gateway is optimizing the own consumption of solar systems in residential homes. This hardware gateway is locally installed in the home of the user and communicating to many home appliances (battery, PV inverter, car charger, …). The main value creation to the end user is that his home appliances are controlled such to optimize for highest solar consumption and in some cases dynamic electricity tariffs. This means our hardware is starting / stopping / controlling theses devices locally directly via different interfaces. Different algorithms are running directly on the hardware to perform such optimizations. Our backend and web front-end are used to configure the devices and prioritize devices according to the user need. For the first year in 2018 our system was running without any app. It was only hardware, backend and front-end. Also we have a support team answering questions and phone calls from users that have a problem with the system. For this system we have a one time fee to buy the hardware device that is then installed locally in the home of the user. Additional we have a yearly fee to cover cost for data storage, development costs of backend and front-end, and to cover our support. This fee is collected through a payment system in our backend. It can be accessed from the front-end. Depending on the amount of data stored, number of external devices connected to our hardware and the amount of support given to the user there are different levels for the fee. The fee is directly related to the data storage cost, the backend needs, and the support effort. The fee is not collected for digital content consumed through the app. Thanks.

Before few days we enabled auto-renewable subscription for an app. The problem we are facing is that, in Sales and Trends option, the tab Subscriptions is missing. As result we cannot view how many subscriptions we have, retention etc.. I opened a ticket to Apple, but no response.... Can anyone please help?

Hello! Why is it that the old endpoint returns nicely what subscriptions are in the application, while the new one returns an empty result? **Old: https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/{appid}/inAppPurchases ** {"data":[{"type":"inAppPurchases","id":"{id}","attributes":{"referenceName":"{referenceName}","productId":"{productId}","inAppPurchaseType":"AUTOMATICALLY_RENEWABLE_SUBSCRIPTION","state":"APPROVED"},"links":{"self":"https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/inAppPurchases/{id}"}}],"links":{"self":"https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/{appId}/inAppPurchases"},"meta":{"paging":{"total":1,"limit":50}}} **New: https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/{appid}/inAppPurchasesV2 ** {"data":[],"links":{"self":"https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/{appId}/inAppPurchasesV2"},"meta":{"paging":{"total":0,"limit":50}}}
