First auto-renewable subscription does not appear on app version page in App Store Connect
Hello, I am blocked on the first auto-renewable subscription submission for my iOS app and I would like to know if anyone has seen this exact App Store Connect behavior. App: SEKA Money Subscription product ID: seka_premium_yearly_ Subscription Apple ID: 6760082026 Current issue: the auto-renewable subscription exists in App Store Connect I am on the correct iOS app version page the “In-App Purchases and Subscriptions” section is visible but my auto-renewable subscription does not appear in the selector only a consumable IAP appears there Important detail: the issue happens directly inside App Store Connect on the app version page this is why I do not think the missing subscription in that selector is caused by the runtime StoreKit code in the app itself I understand app code can affect UI price display, but it should not control whether a subscription appears in the App Store Connect submission selector Other details: this is my first subscription the subscription has already gone through “Waiting for Review” and is now “Developer Action Needed” metadata, screenshot, and localizations have been filled Apple Support already confirmed that I do not need a consumable for this case sandbox / TestFlight purchase behavior has been partially reproducible, but the submission workflow remains blocked because the subscription is not selectable on the app version page My question: Has anyone seen a case where the first auto-renewable subscription exists but does not appear in the app version selector, while another IAP type does appear? If yes, what was the real cause and how did you resolve it? Thank you.

Why Non-Consumable product has originalTransactionId?
I try to call Get Transaction Info from App Store Server API, and the transactionId is for a Non-consumable type product, but it is odd that there are so many different transactionId and they have a same originalTransactionId { "bundleId": "${bundleId}", "environment": "Production", "inAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate": 1691220528000, "originalTransactionId": "${originalTransactionId}", "productId": "${productId}", "purchaseDate": 1691220528000, "quantity": 1, "signedDate": 1692590989925, "storefront": "USA", "storefrontId": "143441", "transactionId": "${originalTransactionId}", "transactionReason": "PURCHASE", "type": "Non-Consumable" } the defination of Non-Consumable is can only purchase once for same apple account. But why there would have originalTransactionId?

When is the unverified branch of AppTransaction.shared entered?
Hi all, I am adding the following StoreKit 2 code to my app, and I don't see anything in Apple's documentation that explains the unverified case. When is that case exercised? Is it when someone has tampered with the app receipt? Or is it for more mundane things like poor network connectivity? // Apple's docstring on `shared` states: // If your app fails to get an AppTransaction by accessing the shared property, see refresh(). // Source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/shared var appTransaction: VerificationResult<AppTransaction>? do { appTransaction = try await AppTransaction.shared } catch { appTransaction = try? await AppTransaction.refresh() } guard let appTransaction = appTransaction else { AppLogger.error("Couldn't get the app store transaction") return false } switch appTransaction { case .unverified(appTransaction, verificationError): // For what reasons should I expect this branch to be entered in production? return await inspectAppTransaction(appTransaction, verifiedByApple: false) case .verified(let appTransaction): return await inspectAppTransaction(appTransaction, verifiedByApple: true) } Thank you, Lou

In-app purchase for auto-renewals subscription for sandbox
Dear Apple Support Team, We are currently implementing auto-renewable subscriptions in our iOS app and are testing the integration using the sandbox environment. On the iOS app side, the in-app purchase flow completes successfully and displays a "Purchase Successful" message. However, we are not receiving any server notification callbacks on our configured App Store Server Notifications (Sandbox) webhook URL. For your reference, the webhook URL we have set in App Store Connect (Sandbox) is: https://9c0f-182-79-123-254.ngrok-free.app/ios/webhook Despite successfully completing a subscription purchase in the sandbox, there is no evidence that the webhook is being triggered. We would appreciate your guidance in resolving this issue or confirming if there are any additional configurations or steps required on our end.

StoreKit2: Testing AppTransaction Receipt Verification?
I just boxed up AppTransaction API. In the debug environment it appears to always return a VerificationResult that is .verified Unlike Storekit1 calling AppTransaction.shared does not seem to cause a sandbox receipt to actually get written on the app bundle in Derived data. I was trying to purposefully mess with the receipt in order to get AppTransaction to fail so I can test how my app behaves when errors occur but there is no receipt to mess with. I tried using the old exit(173) API and it does cause a receipt to be fetched but that seems to be completely ignored by AppTransaction, it validates even if you trash or tamper with the receipt given by exit(173). Is there a good way to test receipt validation failure using the high level Storekit2 API?

StoreKit2: appAccountToken in purchase() always returns first value instead of updated UUID
Hello, I’m experiencing an issue with StoreKit 2 when passing a new appAccountToken for each purchase request. Case-ID: 15948169 (for DTS reference) Description of the Problem When initiating a purchase, I generate a new UUID to use as the appAccountToken: let serverTransactionId = UUID() let options: Set<Product.PurchaseOption> = [ .appAccountToken(serverTransactionId) ] let result = try await product.purchase(options: options) Expected Behavior: Each new purchase should return the updated appAccountToken that I pass into the purchase options. Actual Behavior: The payload response after success always contains the same appAccountToken from the very first transaction. It ignores subsequent UUIDs I pass and keeps reusing the original one. This causes issues because the same identifier is being reused across multiple transactions, making it difficult to map purchases to the correct user session. Steps to Reproduce Generate a fresh UUID using UUID(). Pass it as .appAccountToken when calling purchase(). Complete the transaction in the sandbox environment. Inspect the payload response → The appAccountToken value is always the same as the first one used, not the newly provided one. Additional Info I do have a focused test project that reproduces this issue. The issue appears specific to appAccountToken persistence across multiple transactions. Has anyone else experienced this behavior with StoreKit 2? Is this expected (Apple caching the first token) or could this be a bug?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment: pending
Hello everyone, I'm currently waiting for my Apple Developer Program enrollment to be approved and wondering if my timeline is normal. My situation: Payment of $99 USD: ✅ Completed (have invoice and order number) Government-issued photo ID: ✅ Submitted Confirmation email received: ✅ Yes - "Thank you for providing the documents we requested. We will review them and follow up with you within two business days" Days since confirmation email: 3+ business days The email stated they would follow up within two business days, but it's now been more than three business days with no update. My questions: Is it normal for the review to take longer than the stated "two business days"? For those who were approved, did you receive multiple emails throughout the process, or just a final approval email? Has anyone experienced similar delays? What was the outcome? Just want to make sure nothing is stuck or requires additional action from my side. Thanks for any insights!

StoreKit / react-native-iap: Payment deducted but transaction not delivered (E_CONNECTION_CLOSED) – India UPI payments
Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: the user is charged the subscription exists in Apple ID but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Different transaction IDs for the same purchase between SKPaymentTransaction and receipt latest_receipt_info
Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = transaction_id found in receipt_data.latest_receipt_info The two values are different, but they differ only by 1. Additional observation The original_transaction_id for A and A' is identical, which suggests that both transaction IDs belong to the same subscription purchase chain. Pattern observation on the ID difference We have observed that the difference between A and A' is consistently exactly 1 (i.e., A' = A + 1) across multiple transactions, not just a single case. This appears to be a reproducible pattern rather than a coincidence. This observation raises an additional question (Question 6 below). API verification When calling: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Both A and A' return what appears to be the same purchase record. The response data is effectively identical except for the transactionId field. However, when calling: GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId} A does not appear in the transaction history only A' appears in the history response Questions If A does not appear in transaction history, where does this transaction ID originate from? Why does Get Transaction Info (/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}) return a valid response for A even though it is not present in the transaction history? Why do A and A' both resolve to what appears to be the same purchase? In this situation, which transaction ID should be treated as the canonical transaction ID for server-side validation? Is this difference related to how StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) and the App Store Server API represent transactions? Is the consistent off-by-one difference between the transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction and the one recorded in latest_receipt_info an intentional behavior of StoreKit 1's internal transaction ID assignment? Specifically, we are wondering whether StoreKit 1 applies some form of internal offset when delivering the transaction ID to the client, while the App Store server records a different (adjacent) ID in the receipt. If so, is this documented anywhere? Note We are currently in the process of migrating to StoreKit 2, but this behavior was observed while investigating our existing StoreKit 1 implementation. Any clarification would help us better understand the correct transaction model during the migration.

[macOS] AppTransaction questions (internet connection requirement)
Hello, I hope to find out more about how AppTransaction works on macOS, specifically about its internet connection requirements: if I use this to validate that the app is a legit purchase from the Mac App Store, I would not want it to have an always-on requirement just to validate. Does AppTransaction require the user to always be online for AppTransaction.shared ? When an app is downloaded from the Mac App Store, is the data needed for AppTransaction automatically embedded during that download, or is that data downloaded upon first launch of the app, therefore requiring an internet connection at launch time? Once the data/receipt has been downloaded by AppTransaction, is it cached until the app's next update, or is it cleared at some time during the version's life and needs to be re-downloaded, therefore requiring an internet connection at launch? Where is that receipt/data stored? Also, if you don't mind me sneaking in this non-related but sort of related question, in terms of receipt validation: Does macOS Sequoia's MAC address rotation feature affect receipt validation in any way when using IOKit? Thank you kindly, – Matthias

Migarate to Subscriptions
In my APP for now contains IAP for one time purchase. By adding to APP auto-renewable subscriptions can I ask from customers(that purchased on App Store and IAP ) to purchase subscription. For customers that purchase IAP, ask to purchase subscription after year from IAP was purchased.

verifyReceipt ETIMEDOUT sandbox
The majority of our sandbox calls to verifyReceipt end in an ETIMEDOUT error. This is making it very difficult to verify our purchase flow for our pending release. We have not yet migrated to StoreKit 2 and still rely on this API endpoint. The Apple API status page reports no issues. Is anyone else encountering this?
