“restore purchases”

Thanks for your reply. The product purchased is of a Auto-Renew Subscription type, which this customer had purchased originally years ago (on a old device), who had cancelled only the subscription's auto renewal (under their AppleID Settings, Subscriptions), then tried to Buy (re-subscribe) same subscription option within the App's latest update (on a new device). They did not have Apple Cancel & refund previously their subscription. Under their Purchase History, only one OrderID shows up, and on the date they re-purchased / did a Buy again on their new device, Purchase History shows the same OrderID with Renewal stated.

SKPaymentQueue's restoreCompletedTransactions allows you to restore previously bough non-consumable products and auto-renewable subscriptions. It does not restore non-renewable subscriptions. You must implement your own mechanism for restoring non-renewable subscriptions as mentioned in https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StoreKitGuide/Chapters/Products.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008267-CH2-SW4Non-renewable subscriptions. Subscriptions that don’t involve delivering episodic content. Examples include access to a database of historic photos or a collection of flight maps. It’s your app’s responsibility to make the subscription available on all of the user’s devices and to let users restore the purchase. This product type is often used when your users already have an account on your server that you ca
