Locate the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions Section in App Store Connect
App Store Connect displays the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on your app's version page when your app has an In-App Purchase or subscription with a Ready to Submit status. To locate the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section: In Apps, select the app you want to view. In the sidebar, select the app version. On the version page, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section. For more information, see Submit an In-App Purchase.

How can a watchOS-only app submit its first IAP when App Store Connect blocks it?
I’m trying to determine the supported submission path for the first non-consumable IAP in a watchOS-only app. Configuration The app uses a standard watch-only container: Container: com.seanfu.safe Watch app: com.seanfu.safe.watchkitapp ITSWatchOnlyContainer = true WKWatchOnly = true WKApplication = true It offers one non-consumable “Full Version” unlock and uses StoreKit 2: Product.products(for:) Product.purchase(options:) Transaction.currentEntitlements Transaction.updates The product ID in the Release binary exactly matches App Store Connect. Paid Apps agreements, banking, tax, pricing, and territory availability are active. The Release archive contains no local .storekit configuration or test bundle. TestFlight works, but App Review receives no product In TestFlight, using the real App Store sandbox and App Store Connect product configuration, Product.products(for:) returns the correct product, localized price, and title. The purchase sheet can be presented. During App Review, the same request repeatedly returns an empty array without throwing an error. The reviewer sees this application-defined diagnostic: IAP-L-01(empty x5) This is not an Apple or StoreKit error code. It means: Five separate Product.products(for:) calls completed without throwing. Every call returned an empty product array. The diagnostic appears only after the initial request and limited retries are exhausted. Thrown StoreKit errors use different diagnostics. The app does not locally filter a successfully returned product. Therefore, the screenshot means StoreKit returned no matching product in five consecutive requests. This has happened in multiple review attempts, while the same Release code path works in TestFlight. An App Review representative contacted us and explicitly stated that a watchOS-only app can be reviewed and tested with IAP. They suggested investigating our StoreKit integration, but our audit found no code path that could transform a non-empty response into this diagnostic. Submission behavior changed Earlier watchOS-only builds could be submitted with both: The app version The “Full Version” IAP Those submissions reached App Review, where the product was empty: Submission accepted → Review starts → Product array is empty For build 23, we explicitly added the In-App Purchase capability to the Watch target in Xcode. The project now records the IAP capability and explicitly links StoreKit.framework. This did not add an IAP entitlement to the signed app. The bundle IDs, watch-only packaging, product ID, StoreKit code, pricing, availability, agreements, banking, and tax status remained unchanged. After uploading build 23, App Store Connect no longer allows the app version and IAP to be submitted together. The draft contains: iOS App 1.0, build 23 The “Full Version” non-consumable IAP App Store Connect blocks the submission and says IAPs and subscriptions are not supported on Apple Watch and must be removed from the submission. The behavior is now: App version + IAP selected → Submission blocked before review This timing does not prove that adding the Xcode capability caused the change. App Store Connect may have changed its validation, or the new build may have caused its watch-only classification to be reevaluated. However, the transition is notable: earlier submissions were accepted but the product was unavailable during review; the current submission is blocked entirely. Contradictory documentation StoreKit documentation says the Swift IAP API is available on watchOS 8+: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/choosing-a-storekit-api-for-in-app-purchases The documentation for purchase(options:) specifically says to use it for apps running on watchOS: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/product/purchase(options:) However, App Store Connect documentation says IAPs are not supported on Apple Watch and must be removed before submitting an Apple Watch app version: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-submissions-to-app-review/submit-an-in-app-purchase/ The same page says the first non-consumable IAP must be submitted with a new app version. This creates a circular requirement: The first non-consumable IAP must accompany an app version. An Apple Watch app version cannot include an IAP. A watchOS-only app therefore appears unable to submit its first IAP. Questions What is the supported path for submitting the first non-consumable IAP of a watchOS-only app? Can Apple review the first IAP separately, or apply a backend override, despite the requirement to include it with an app version? Is an iPhone companion app required, with watchOS IAP support intended only for Watch apps associated with a regular iOS app? Could the unsupported submission association explain why TestFlight sandbox returns the product while App Review receives an empty array? Why were earlier watchOS-only submissions accepted with the IAP attached, while build 23 is blocked despite unchanged bundle IDs and watch-only packaging? Does App Store Connect use the Xcode IAP capability or explicit StoreKit linkage when validating the submission? Clarification from a StoreKit or App Store Connect engineer would be greatly appreciated. The StoreKit documentation, App Store Connect validation, and guidance from App Review currently describe different behaviors.

Cannot attach first In-App Purchase to app version — "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" section missing (repeated 2.1(b) rejections)
Summary: The "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" selection section does not appear on my app version page, so I cannot attach my first In-App Purchase to my build. This has caused four consecutive Guideline 2.1(b) rejections. Setup: App: Qmetra IQ (Apple ID 6791254506, Bundle ID com.vibecode.qmetraiq.londa9) First app release, never published App version 1.0, current build 1.0.1 (2) Non-consumable IAP: com.vibecode.qmetraiq.londa9.results (Apple ID 6792799431) IAP status: Ready to Submit App Review screenshot for the IAP: uploaded (1242×2688) Paid Apps Agreement signed, banking and tax complete, no open items under Business What I see: On the version page, the "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" heading exists, but contains only an informational message ("...add an app version to your submission so the items are reviewed together..."). There is no button, link, checkbox, or "+" to select the IAP. The submission draft panel contains only the app version, with no way to add the IAP. Opening the draft from the IAP page shows only the IAP, with the warning "Cannot be submitted for review — add an app version for the selected platform", and the "Submit for Review" button greyed out. What I have tried: Removed the previous rejected submission from review, then rechecked the version page — section still absent Assigned a fresh build (1.0.1 build 2) and saved Re-saved the IAP metadata Resubmitted the app version alone — rejected again under 2.1(b) Replied in the review thread twice — no resolution Rejection reason each time: "one or more of the In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review." Could an Apple staff member please forward this to App Store Connect Support or engineering so the In-App Purchase can be moved to In Review manually? Several older threads describing this exact bug were only resolved that way. Happy to share more details privately if needed. Thank you.

Storekit, how to change and retrieve current user storefront
I've been struggling to work with the Storekit framework and specifically to find the current Storefront used by the user of the app. Context : My app needs to behave differently depending on the country of the user. For me relying on Locale.current.region?.identifier does not seem very reliable, the user can change it really easily. I'm trying to use the Storekit framework like so : if let storefront = await StoreKit.Storefront.current{ return storefront.countryCode } As per Apple's Storekit documentation : Use current to determine a customer's current storefront region and offer in-app products suitable for that region. You maintain your own list of product identifiers and the storefronts in which you make them available. But I just can't find out what I need to change in my current configuration to get another country. The code keeps returning my original storefront (which is France) I've tried login in with a sandbox user defined on another country. Changed all settings on my device to another country. Changed my Apple's account region as described here. Also tried to logout from everything. The only thing that works is setting a local .storekit file as described here and changing the default storefront. Is Xcode overriding the default storefront when building on debug or TestFlight? does anyone know how can I test different storefronts with sandbox users without the local storekit file ? Thank you in advance.

First-time subscription submission stuck — "add an app version" error even with a fresh, unreleased build attached
I'm trying to submit my app's first-ever subscriptions for review, and I'm stuck in a loop between two different App Store Connect submission flows that seem to conflict with each other. Setup: App: HeyFlat (bundle au.com.heyflat) Subscription group "HeyFlat Casa" with 3 auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly/semiannual/annual), all status "Ready to Submit" App version 1.0 has been rejected multiple times (most recently for Guideline 2.1(b) — "In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review") What I've tried: On the Subscriptions page, I click "Add for Review" on the subscription group → it opens a "Draft Submission" panel (breadcrumb "Submissions") listing the group as an item ready to submit. That panel shows: "Unable to submit for review — Add an app version for the selected platform." I uploaded a brand-new, never-before-submitted build (build 31, version 1.0) via CI and manually attached it to the App Store version page (Distribution → App Store Version 1.0 → Build). Went back to the Draft Submission — same error persists, plus a new one: "New subscription groups must be submitted with an auto-renewing subscription from that group." The item listed is just the subscription group itself, not the individual subscriptions. Separately, the legacy per-version thread (App Review → iOS Submission) now shows build 31 as "Ready for Review" — but that thread only lists 1 item (the app version itself), no subscriptions attached, even though they're marked "Added for Review." So I have: a subscription group with 3 ready subscriptions, and a fresh unreleased build attached to the app version — but no path in the UI actually lets me submit them together. This exact same "In-App Purchases not submitted" rejection has now happened twice, with the subscriptions in this same "ready" state both times. Has anyone run into this specific mismatch between the "Submissions" draft flow and the legacy per-version "App Review" thread? What's the correct way to get a first-time subscription group submitted alongside an app version right now?

StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in Sandbox/TestFlight — FB24199369
StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in Sandbox/TestFlight — FB24199369 I’m experiencing an issue where StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in both Sandbox and TestFlight for my iOS app. App: Bundle ID: com.sleeplessnight.naengbiseo Subscription group: Naengbiseo Premium Product IDs: naengbiseo_premium_monthly naengbiseo_premium_yearly Although the production app uses RevenueCat, I reproduced the same issue in a separate minimal native SwiftUI app using StoreKit 2 directly, with no RevenueCat, Expo, React Native, or other third-party SDK involved. Native StoreKit 2 call: let products = try await Product.products(for: [ "naengbiseo_premium_monthly", "naengbiseo_premium_yearly" ]) Current native test result: STOREKIT_COUNTRY_CODE: KOR STOREKIT_STOREFRONT_ID: 143466 DIRECT_STOREKIT_COUNT: 0 Returned products: None Test environment: Physical iPhone StoreKit Configuration: None Sandbox Apple Account signed in Storefront: KOR In-App Purchase capability enabled Correct Bundle ID and Product IDs I have rechecked the following configuration: The subscriptions are available in the test storefront Subscription pricing is configured Subscription localization is configured Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax information are active App ID has In-App Purchase enabled The App Store/TestFlight build has the expected Bundle ID, provisioning, and signing configuration I also created a StoreKit Configuration file using “Sync this file with an app in App Store Connect”. The sync completed, but the resulting configuration contained: products: [] subscriptionGroups: [] The same subscriptions also fail to load in TestFlight. The subscription products currently show Rejected in App Store Connect because the associated app version was rejected. App Store Connect states that the subscriptions were returned because the associated app was rejected and will remain Rejected until resubmitted for review. However, App Review also stated: “In-App Purchase products do not need prior approval to function in review.” I have reviewed TN3186 and have not found a remaining developer-side configuration issue that explains why Product.products(for:) returns zero products. Since the issue reproduces in a minimal native StoreKit 2 app, this does not appear to be caused by RevenueCat or another third-party SDK. Feedback Assistant: FB24199369 Could an App Store Commerce / StoreKit engineer advise whether there is any remaining developer-side configuration that could cause this, or whether the subscription catalog / app association may need to be reprocessed on Apple’s side? Thank you.

Product.products(for:) returns wrong storefront/currency on TestFlight while purchase sheet resolves correctly
App: com.playatrium.mobile Issue: StoreKit 2's Product.products(for:) returns USD pricing regardless of account region on TestFlight builds. Account/device confirmed UK at every layer I can check: App Store Connect developer account region: UK Personal Apple ID Media & Purchases country/region: UK Device region: UK No .storekit configuration file present in the project In-App Purchase capability confirmed enabled on the App ID The native purchase sheet, for the SAME product in the SAME app session, correctly resolves and displays GBP, and purchases complete successfully with correct entitlement grants on our server. So the purchase flow itself resolves the storefront correctly — only the catalog/pricing query does not. Console.app shows the account object with storefront = (null) at the moment of the catalog query: account = <ACAccount: ... storefront = (null)> and the resulting request falls back to /catalog/us/ with locale es-MX, rather than the correct territory. I've seen a few threads here with similar symptoms (products returning empty or wrong-region data on TestFlight specifically, working fine via local StoreKit config in the simulator) but haven't found a clear explanation or fix. Anyone know why Storefront.current / the catalog query would fail to resolve correctly on TestFlight while Product.purchase() resolves fine in the same session?

iOS 27 Beta: StoreKit FinishTransactionRequest repeatedly fails with requestEncodeFailed
I am experiencing a StoreKit issue on iOS 27 Beta with eFootball™ 11.0.0 (jp.konami.pesactionmobile). After an in-app purchase, the app becomes stuck on an infinite loading screen during login. If I manage to log in, the in-game Shop also remains stuck loading. I investigated the issue using macOS Console and found that StoreKit repeatedly attempts to finish the same production transaction every approximately 2–3 seconds. The relevant logs are: Starting request FinishTransactionRequest(...) Failed to encode request parameters NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 Error finishing transaction: StoreKitServiceError StoreKitInternalError.requestEncodeFailed The same transaction is repeatedly passed to FinishTransactionRequest, but the finish operation never succeeds. What I have confirmed The purchase itself was confirmed by Apple Support as successfully completed. The transaction is a Production transaction with the JPN storefront. Reinstalling eFootball does not resolve the issue. Restarting the iPhone does not resolve the issue. Signing out and back into "Media & Purchases" with the affected Apple Account does not resolve the issue. Network requests from the app itself are succeeding with HTTP 200 responses. The issue occurs when StoreKit attempts to finish the transaction. Most importantly, if I sign out of the affected Apple Account under Media & Purchases and sign in with a different Apple Account on the same iPhone, eFootball immediately works normally again — both login and the Shop load successfully. If I switch back to the original Apple Account, the issue returns. Steps to reproduce Use the affected Apple Account for Media & Purchases. Launch eFootball. Attempt to log in. The app remains stuck loading. Observe Console logs from storekitd. The same transaction repeatedly triggers FinishTransactionRequest. Each attempt fails with StoreKitInternalError.requestEncodeFailed. Expected behavior StoreKit should successfully finish the completed transaction, remove it from the unfinished transaction queue, and allow the app to continue normally. Actual behavior FinishTransactionRequest repeatedly fails with requestEncodeFailed, causing the same transaction to be processed indefinitely and preventing normal use of the app. Has anyone encountered the same behavior on iOS 27 Beta? Is this a known StoreKit issue, or is there any way to safely clear/finish the affected production transaction without restoring the device to the current public iOS release?

App rejected repeatedly: Subscriptions fail to load in Review but work perfectly in TestFlight
To the Apple Review and Developer Support Teams, I am writing to request guidance and assistance regarding a persistent rejection my React Native application is facing under Guideline 2.1 - Performance (In-App Purchases). My app has been rejected multiple times with the following specific note: "The In-App Purchase products in the app still exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, the subscription screen failed to load any subscription plans. Review the details and resources below to troubleshoot this issue." The screenshot provided by the review team shows a completely black screen where our paywall options are intended to populate, indicating that the product array is returning completely empty during the review process. The Dilemma: We are completely unable to reproduce this behavior on our end. Everything functions flawlessly within our TestFlight builds across multiple physical test devices and various sandbox tester accounts. On TestFlight, the paywall renders instantly, local pricing fetches immediately via SKProductsRequest, and test transactions process without a single error. Our Current Implementation & Verification: Product Status: All subscription products are explicitly marked as "Waiting for Review" in App Store Connect with one In-App product Rejected for not being attached with a bin but I've since submitted the app once again. All the subscriptions and the in-app product have been actively attached to this specific app submission version. Agreements: The Paid Apps Agreement is active, signed, and fully up to date within our Agreements, Tax, and Banking configurations. Identifiers: We have strictly verified that the hardcoded product identifiers in our React Native codebase match the App Store Connect product IDs exactly. Because this error only occurs within the App Review environment and never in TestFlight or local sandboxes, we are at a loss for how to debug or resolve this issue. Could the App Review team or the Developer Support technical team please clarify if there is a known environment mismatch, storefront routing discrepancy, or specific network configuration (such as IPv6 handling in the review sandbox) that would cause production-ready StoreKit products to return an empty array exclusively to the reviewer? Any direct guidance, logs, or steps on how we can successfully surface our plans to your review team would be deeply appreciated. Review Environment Submission ID: 5a35279c-1621-4972-b6c6-7c1fb202b2f0 Review date: May 20, 2026 Review Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M3) Version reviewed: 1.0.2 (8) Thank you for your time and assistance.

Cannot attach first In-App Purchase to app version after Guideline 2.1(b) rejection: "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section missing
Hi everyone, Not sure if this is a known App Store Connect bug but hoping either someone here has a workaround, or an Apple engineer can help push this along. Background: this is my first In-App Purchase submission for my app. My original binary was submitted without the IAP attached (my mistake, first time doing this), so the app was rejected under Guideline 2.1(b) for referencing a paid feature whose IAP wasn't submitted for review. Since then: The IAP (non-consumable, one-time purchase) is fully configured with a review screenshot and notes, and shows status "Ready for Review" after submitting via "Add for Review" My app version is in a rejected state with an "Update Review" button available The problem: I can't get these two linked together anywhere in the UI. Clicking "Update Review" on the version page resubmits it, but never shows any option to attach the IAP Clicking "Add for Review" from the IAP page opens a Draft Submission, but that draft says "Unable to Submit for Review: To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform," with no version selector anywhere in that panel Tried hard refresh, incognito, different browsers, starting a fresh draft submission. Same result every time. Result: resubmitted the app, got the exact same 2.1(b) rejection again, confirming the IAP genuinely never made it into the review package despite showing as correctly configured on my end. I've seen a few other threads describing what sounds like the exact same issue, where the "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section disappears from the version page after a first rejection, and the fix ended up requiring an Apple support agent to manually push the IAP status forward on the backend, without needing another binary. Has anyone found a way to trigger this from the developer side, or is direct support/engineering intervention really the only path? Already have a case open with Apple Developer Support as well, happy to share the Case ID via DM if that helps someone from Apple locate it faster. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Payment Marked as "Paid" But Not Received After 3 Business Days
Dear Apple Support, I am writing to report a payment issue with my App Store Connect developer account. The latest payment is marked as "Paid" in the Payments and Financial Reports section, but as of today, more than 3 business days have passed and the funds have not yet arrived in my bank account. I have double-checked that my banking information is accurate and up to date. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide further clarification on the current status of the payment. Thank you in advance for your support.

Discontinue an auto-renewable subscription?
We have an auto-renewable subscription in our app that we want to stop offering. However, we want to make sure that people who have already purchased the subscription remain subscribed until the end of their current subscription period (and are subsequently unsubscribed and not charged further). What is the right way to do this?We tried submitting the app with the subscription still enabled in App Store Connect but hidden in the app, and our update was rejected because the reviewer couldn't find a way to subscribe.Thanks,Frank

Subscriptions stuck "In Review" for over a month while app is live — users cannot purchase (Case ID 102939768542)
Our app is live on the App Store, but its two auto-renewable subscriptions have been stuck in "In Review" for over a month. Users can download the app but cannot subscribe — in production, StoreKit only returns approved products, so our paywall shows nothing and monetization has been completely blocked since launch day. APP / PRODUCT DETAILS App: 流动 (Flow) — Apple ID: 6772474397 App status: v1.0.0 (build 625), approved and live since July 23, 2026 Subscription group: "Flow Premium" (ID 22108903) — the group itself shows "Approved" Products stuck in "In Review": com.echo.flow.premium.monthly (1 month) com.echo.flow.premium.yearly (1 year) Paid Apps Agreement is active; banking and tax are complete TIMELINE Jul 12: First contacted Developer Support (Case ID 102939768542). At that time the subscriptions were stuck in "Waiting for Review" and could not be attached to any version submission. Jul 23–24: Followed up; was told the issue had been "escalated to the appropriate internal team". Shortly after, both subscriptions moved from "Waiting for Review" to "In Review" — the only progress in this entire period. Jul 31 → Aug 3 reply, and Aug 7 → same-day reply: two more follow-ups on the same case. Both replies were the identical "escalated to the internal team" template. No one has contacted me since, and the status has never changed. Aug 18 (today): Both subscriptions are still "In Review" — roughly 4 weeks in this state, 5+ weeks since my first support contact. Normal IAP review is said to be 24–48 hours. NO ACTION IS AVAILABLE ON MY SIDE Both subscription pages are locked: I cannot edit metadata, delete the products, or remove them from review. "Add for Review" is greyed out. They cannot be selected on a new app version page (they are not in "Ready to Submit"). So this appears to be stuck inside the review pipeline itself, and nothing in App Store Connect lets me unblock it. REQUEST Could someone from the App Store Commerce / App Review team please either: Complete the review of these two subscriptions, or Reset them to "Ready to Submit" so I can immediately resubmit them — with a new app version if required (build 626 is ready to go). I've seen a very similar case in this forum (thread 818811) resolved after an App Store Commerce Engineer looked into it — I'd be grateful for the same kind of help. Thank you!

Transaction.finish() is a no-op on iOS 27 beta 5; purchase() then replays the same transaction forever
Transaction.finish() doesn't clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5 — worked correctly through beta 4 — every repeat purchase after the first replays the same transaction with no confirmation sheet and no charge. StoreKit.Transaction.finish() does not clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5. The transaction remains in Transaction.unfinished indefinitely, and every subsequent Product.purchase() call for that product returns the same stale transaction instead of starting a new purchase — with no confirmation sheet, no charge, and no way for the app to tell it apart from a genuine purchase. Because the replayed result is .success carrying a VerificationResult that verifies normally, an app has no supported signal that nothing was bought. The only distinguishing traits are that the id and purchaseDate are unchanged and the call returns in ~10ms instead of making a server round-trip. Consequence: a consumable product can be purchased exactly once per device. Every later attempt silently no-ops while appearing to succeed. Steps to Reproduce On a device running iOS 27 beta 5, sign in to a newly created Sandbox Apple Account (Settings → Apps → App Store → Sandbox Account) with no prior purchase history. Install and launch a development build of an app offering a consumable IAP. Confirm Transaction.unfinished is empty. Purchase the consumable. The confirmation sheet appears and the purchase completes normally. await transaction.finish() on the returned transaction. Enumerate Transaction.unfinished again. Purchase the same consumable a second time. Expected Results Step 6: Transaction.unfinished is empty — the transaction was finished. Step 7: a confirmation sheet appears and a new transaction is created, with a new id and a current purchaseDate. Actual Results Step 6: the just-finished transaction is still listed in Transaction.unfinished. Step 7: no confirmation sheet appears. purchase() returns .success in ~0.01s carrying the same transaction — identical id and identical purchaseDate — and nothing is charged. This repeats indefinitely. Re-fetching the transaction from Transaction.unfinished and calling finish() on that instance does not clear it either, so there is no app-side way to drain the queue. Diagnostic Log Virgin sandbox account, empty queue, three consecutive taps on one product: unfinished before tip.small: [] purchase() returned after 18.10s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 --- await transaction.finish() --- unfinished after finishing 2000001221113013: [small#2000001221113013] unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 The first call is a genuine purchase (18s round-trip, sheet shown). The transaction survives its own finish(). Calls two and three are replays of it. Notes Not reproducible against a local .storekit configuration in the Simulator, which always presents the confirmation sheet. Requires Apple's sandbox. Also reproduces on a TestFlight build billed to a real Apple ID, where it is worse: TestFlight purchase history cannot be reset, so the affected products stay permanently stuck for that account. It survives deleting and reinstalling the app, and a device reboot. Possibly the same underlying issue as the unanswered report at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808648 (iOS 26/18, Nov 2025). Configuration Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max OS: iOS 27 beta 5 Products: consumable in-app purchases API: StoreKit 2 (Product.purchase(), Transaction.finish(), Transaction.unfinished)

IAP Product Not Getting Approved – Stuck in Review Loop
I’m stuck in a loop where my in-app purchase (IAP) product cannot be reviewed because my app version is in “Rejected” status. In order to submit the IAP for review, I need to submit a new app version and select the IAP product. But since the current version is rejected, I can't select the IAP during submission. As a result, RevenueCat can't fetch the IAP products, and the app appears to not use in-app purchases, which leads to another rejection. I’d like to know the correct steps to break this cycle and properly submit both the app and the IAP for review. Any guidance is appreciated!

App approved and released, but auto-renewable subscriptions remain "Waiting for Review" and StoreKit returns no products
M y app was approved and is now live on the App Store, but all four auto-renewable subscriptions are still Waiting for Review in App Store Connect. Because of this, the production app's StoreKit 2 call to Product.products(for:) returns 0 products, and users see: "No subscription products were returned by the App Store." There are no metadata errors or warnings—only Waiting for Review. My questions are: Is it normal for an app to be released before its subscriptions are approved? While subscriptions are in Waiting for Review, is it expected that Product.products(for:) returns an empty array? Has anyone experienced this, and how long did it take for the subscriptions to be approved after the app was already live? I've attached: App Store Connect screenshot showing all four subscriptions in Waiting for Review. App screenshot showing the "No subscription products were returned by the App Store." message. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can't submit IAP for review
Looking for some advice to get past a road block submitting a macOS app for review with an In-App Purchase. The IAP is a non-consumable one time purchase that will unlock additional features. I've submitted a new version of the app but when I try to attache the IAP I get a warning: Unable to Submit for Review Your first non-consumable in-app purchase must be submitted with a new app version. Anyone able to shed some light? This is my first attempt at attaching an IAP and I'm stumped. Thanks, in advance.

StoreKit storekit_no_response — queryProductDetails returns 0 products despite fully active Paid Apps Agreement
I'm seeing IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: "StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.") when calling queryProductDetails() (via Flutter's in_app_purchase/in_app_purchase_storekit plugin) for all 6 of my app's In-App Purchase products. This happens consistently on a real device (iOS 18.7.9), including after a full device restart. I've followed the entire TN3186 checklist: Paid Apps Agreement: Active Banking: Active Tax Forms: Active Bundle ID matches App Store Connect and Certificates/Identifiers/Profiles In-App Purchase capability is enabled on the App ID All 6 product identifiers match exactly and are attached to the app version under review Pricing is set for all territories on all products None of this resolves the error. This also caused an App Store review rejection citing "In-app purchase products... could not be found in the submitted binary" for the same reason. Bundle ID: com.playadda.playadda Product IDs affected: gems_pack_100, gems_pack_500, gems_pack_1200, premium_monthly, battle_pass_s1, starter_pack Has anyone found a resolution to this specific error beyond the standard TN3186 checklist?

Cancel subscription not working in TestFlight
Hi, I have deployed my app on Test Flight, I have two subscriptions, monthly and yearly. User can have one of them at a time and upgrade, downgrade to the other. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel from the Apple Settings worked fine in the sandbox environment when testing locally. Now when I have deployed the app on TestFlight, I was able to purchase the subscription successfully from my app. Now when I want to cancel my subscription from the Apple Settings it gives me the following error after confirming cancellation, 'Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later.' Also the other subscription offer (yearly) is also not shown to which I could upgrade, even though in the sandbox I was able to upgrade downgrade from the settings. Another thing I have noticed is that the app Icon or name is not shown anywhere in settings with the subscription. Instead of app icon only empty square is shown. Even though app icon shows fine everywhere else. Can someone please help me figure out this issue?

Hi, Overview In my project I am using a .storekit StoreKit configuration file that is synced. I have only non-consumable products Problem When I loop through Transaction.currentEntitlements after verification the properties such as transaction.productType are all NULL. Note I have called .finish on the transaction after the following: Processing Transaction.updates Processing purchasing a new product Environment: Xcode 27 Beta 5 iOS 26.6 Questions How can I resolve this? Am I missing something? Should I be using Transaction.latest(for:) instead of Transaction.currentEntitlements?

How can a watchOS-only app submit its first IAP when App Store Connect blocks it?
I’m trying to determine the supported submission path for the first non-consumable IAP in a watchOS-only app. Configuration The app uses a standard watch-only container: Container: com.seanfu.safe Watch app: com.seanfu.safe.watchkitapp ITSWatchOnlyContainer = true WKWatchOnly = true WKApplication = true It offers one non-consumable “Full Version” unlock and uses StoreKit 2: Product.products(for:) Product.purchase(options:) Transaction.currentEntitlements Transaction.updates The product ID in the Release binary exactly matches App Store Connect. Paid Apps agreements, banking, tax, pricing, and territory availability are active. The Release archive contains no local .storekit configuration or test bundle. TestFlight works, but App Review receives no product In TestFlight, using the real App Store sandbox and App Store Connect product configuration, Product.products(for:) returns the correct product, localized price, and title. The purchase sheet can be presented. During App Review, the same request repeatedly returns an empty array without throwing an error. The reviewer sees this application-defined diagnostic: IAP-L-01(empty x5) This is not an Apple or StoreKit error code. It means: Five separate Product.products(for:) calls completed without throwing. Every call returned an empty product array. The diagnostic appears only after the initial request and limited retries are exhausted. Thrown StoreKit errors use different diagnostics. The app does not locally filter a successfully returned product. Therefore, the screenshot means StoreKit returned no matching product in five consecutive requests. This has happened in multiple review attempts, while the same Release code path works in TestFlight. An App Review representative contacted us and explicitly stated that a watchOS-only app can be reviewed and tested with IAP. They suggested investigating our StoreKit integration, but our audit found no code path that could transform a non-empty response into this diagnostic. Submission behavior changed Earlier watchOS-only builds could be submitted with both: The app version The “Full Version” IAP Those submissions reached App Review, where the product was empty: Submission accepted → Review starts → Product array is empty For build 23, we explicitly added the In-App Purchase capability to the Watch target in Xcode. The project now records the IAP capability and explicitly links StoreKit.framework. This did not add an IAP entitlement to the signed app. The bundle IDs, watch-only packaging, product ID, StoreKit code, pricing, availability, agreements, banking, and tax status remained unchanged. After uploading build 23, App Store Connect no longer allows the app version and IAP to be submitted together. The draft contains: iOS App 1.0, build 23 The “Full Version” non-consumable IAP App Store Connect blocks the submission and says IAPs and subscriptions are not supported on Apple Watch and must be removed from the submission. The behavior is now: App version + IAP selected → Submission blocked before review This timing does not prove that adding the Xcode capability caused the change. App Store Connect may have changed its validation, or the new build may have caused its watch-only classification to be reevaluated. However, the transition is notable: earlier submissions were accepted but the product was unavailable during review; the current submission is blocked entirely. Contradictory documentation StoreKit documentation says the Swift IAP API is available on watchOS 8+: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/choosing-a-storekit-api-for-in-app-purchases The documentation for purchase(options:) specifically says to use it for apps running on watchOS: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/product/purchase(options:) However, App Store Connect documentation says IAPs are not supported on Apple Watch and must be removed before submitting an Apple Watch app version: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-submissions-to-app-review/submit-an-in-app-purchase/ The same page says the first non-consumable IAP must be submitted with a new app version. This creates a circular requirement: The first non-consumable IAP must accompany an app version. An Apple Watch app version cannot include an IAP. A watchOS-only app therefore appears unable to submit its first IAP. Questions What is the supported path for submitting the first non-consumable IAP of a watchOS-only app? Can Apple review the first IAP separately, or apply a backend override, despite the requirement to include it with an app version? Is an iPhone companion app required, with watchOS IAP support intended only for Watch apps associated with a regular iOS app? Could the unsupported submission association explain why TestFlight sandbox returns the product while App Review receives an empty array? Why were earlier watchOS-only submissions accepted with the IAP attached, while build 23 is blocked despite unchanged bundle IDs and watch-only packaging? Does App Store Connect use the Xcode IAP capability or explicit StoreKit linkage when validating the submission? Clarification from a StoreKit or App Store Connect engineer would be greatly appreciated. The StoreKit documentation, App Store Connect validation, and guidance from App Review currently describe different behaviors.

Cannot attach first In-App Purchase to app version — "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" section missing (repeated 2.1(b) rejections)
Summary: The "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" selection section does not appear on my app version page, so I cannot attach my first In-App Purchase to my build. This has caused four consecutive Guideline 2.1(b) rejections. Setup: App: Qmetra IQ (Apple ID 6791254506, Bundle ID com.vibecode.qmetraiq.londa9) First app release, never published App version 1.0, current build 1.0.1 (2) Non-consumable IAP: com.vibecode.qmetraiq.londa9.results (Apple ID 6792799431) IAP status: Ready to Submit App Review screenshot for the IAP: uploaded (1242×2688) Paid Apps Agreement signed, banking and tax complete, no open items under Business What I see: On the version page, the "In-App Purchases or Subscriptions" heading exists, but contains only an informational message ("...add an app version to your submission so the items are reviewed together..."). There is no button, link, checkbox, or "+" to select the IAP. The submission draft panel contains only the app version, with no way to add the IAP. Opening the draft from the IAP page shows only the IAP, with the warning "Cannot be submitted for review — add an app version for the selected platform", and the "Submit for Review" button greyed out. What I have tried: Removed the previous rejected submission from review, then rechecked the version page — section still absent Assigned a fresh build (1.0.1 build 2) and saved Re-saved the IAP metadata Resubmitted the app version alone — rejected again under 2.1(b) Replied in the review thread twice — no resolution Rejection reason each time: "one or more of the In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review." Could an Apple staff member please forward this to App Store Connect Support or engineering so the In-App Purchase can be moved to In Review manually? Several older threads describing this exact bug were only resolved that way. Happy to share more details privately if needed. Thank you.

Storekit, how to change and retrieve current user storefront
I've been struggling to work with the Storekit framework and specifically to find the current Storefront used by the user of the app. Context : My app needs to behave differently depending on the country of the user. For me relying on Locale.current.region?.identifier does not seem very reliable, the user can change it really easily. I'm trying to use the Storekit framework like so : if let storefront = await StoreKit.Storefront.current{ return storefront.countryCode } As per Apple's Storekit documentation : Use current to determine a customer's current storefront region and offer in-app products suitable for that region. You maintain your own list of product identifiers and the storefronts in which you make them available. But I just can't find out what I need to change in my current configuration to get another country. The code keeps returning my original storefront (which is France) I've tried login in with a sandbox user defined on another country. Changed all settings on my device to another country. Changed my Apple's account region as described here. Also tried to logout from everything. The only thing that works is setting a local .storekit file as described here and changing the default storefront. Is Xcode overriding the default storefront when building on debug or TestFlight? does anyone know how can I test different storefronts with sandbox users without the local storekit file ? Thank you in advance.

First-time subscription submission stuck — "add an app version" error even with a fresh, unreleased build attached
I'm trying to submit my app's first-ever subscriptions for review, and I'm stuck in a loop between two different App Store Connect submission flows that seem to conflict with each other. Setup: App: HeyFlat (bundle au.com.heyflat) Subscription group "HeyFlat Casa" with 3 auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly/semiannual/annual), all status "Ready to Submit" App version 1.0 has been rejected multiple times (most recently for Guideline 2.1(b) — "In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review") What I've tried: On the Subscriptions page, I click "Add for Review" on the subscription group → it opens a "Draft Submission" panel (breadcrumb "Submissions") listing the group as an item ready to submit. That panel shows: "Unable to submit for review — Add an app version for the selected platform." I uploaded a brand-new, never-before-submitted build (build 31, version 1.0) via CI and manually attached it to the App Store version page (Distribution → App Store Version 1.0 → Build). Went back to the Draft Submission — same error persists, plus a new one: "New subscription groups must be submitted with an auto-renewing subscription from that group." The item listed is just the subscription group itself, not the individual subscriptions. Separately, the legacy per-version thread (App Review → iOS Submission) now shows build 31 as "Ready for Review" — but that thread only lists 1 item (the app version itself), no subscriptions attached, even though they're marked "Added for Review." So I have: a subscription group with 3 ready subscriptions, and a fresh unreleased build attached to the app version — but no path in the UI actually lets me submit them together. This exact same "In-App Purchases not submitted" rejection has now happened twice, with the subscriptions in this same "ready" state both times. Has anyone run into this specific mismatch between the "Submissions" draft flow and the legacy per-version "App Review" thread? What's the correct way to get a first-time subscription group submitted alongside an app version right now?

StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in Sandbox/TestFlight — FB24199369
StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in Sandbox/TestFlight — FB24199369 I’m experiencing an issue where StoreKit 2 returns zero subscription products in both Sandbox and TestFlight for my iOS app. App: Bundle ID: com.sleeplessnight.naengbiseo Subscription group: Naengbiseo Premium Product IDs: naengbiseo_premium_monthly naengbiseo_premium_yearly Although the production app uses RevenueCat, I reproduced the same issue in a separate minimal native SwiftUI app using StoreKit 2 directly, with no RevenueCat, Expo, React Native, or other third-party SDK involved. Native StoreKit 2 call: let products = try await Product.products(for: [ "naengbiseo_premium_monthly", "naengbiseo_premium_yearly" ]) Current native test result: STOREKIT_COUNTRY_CODE: KOR STOREKIT_STOREFRONT_ID: 143466 DIRECT_STOREKIT_COUNT: 0 Returned products: None Test environment: Physical iPhone StoreKit Configuration: None Sandbox Apple Account signed in Storefront: KOR In-App Purchase capability enabled Correct Bundle ID and Product IDs I have rechecked the following configuration: The subscriptions are available in the test storefront Subscription pricing is configured Subscription localization is configured Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax information are active App ID has In-App Purchase enabled The App Store/TestFlight build has the expected Bundle ID, provisioning, and signing configuration I also created a StoreKit Configuration file using “Sync this file with an app in App Store Connect”. The sync completed, but the resulting configuration contained: products: [] subscriptionGroups: [] The same subscriptions also fail to load in TestFlight. The subscription products currently show Rejected in App Store Connect because the associated app version was rejected. App Store Connect states that the subscriptions were returned because the associated app was rejected and will remain Rejected until resubmitted for review. However, App Review also stated: “In-App Purchase products do not need prior approval to function in review.” I have reviewed TN3186 and have not found a remaining developer-side configuration issue that explains why Product.products(for:) returns zero products. Since the issue reproduces in a minimal native StoreKit 2 app, this does not appear to be caused by RevenueCat or another third-party SDK. Feedback Assistant: FB24199369 Could an App Store Commerce / StoreKit engineer advise whether there is any remaining developer-side configuration that could cause this, or whether the subscription catalog / app association may need to be reprocessed on Apple’s side? Thank you.

Product.products(for:) returns wrong storefront/currency on TestFlight while purchase sheet resolves correctly
App: com.playatrium.mobile Issue: StoreKit 2's Product.products(for:) returns USD pricing regardless of account region on TestFlight builds. Account/device confirmed UK at every layer I can check: App Store Connect developer account region: UK Personal Apple ID Media & Purchases country/region: UK Device region: UK No .storekit configuration file present in the project In-App Purchase capability confirmed enabled on the App ID The native purchase sheet, for the SAME product in the SAME app session, correctly resolves and displays GBP, and purchases complete successfully with correct entitlement grants on our server. So the purchase flow itself resolves the storefront correctly — only the catalog/pricing query does not. Console.app shows the account object with storefront = (null) at the moment of the catalog query: account = <ACAccount: ... storefront = (null)> and the resulting request falls back to /catalog/us/ with locale es-MX, rather than the correct territory. I've seen a few threads here with similar symptoms (products returning empty or wrong-region data on TestFlight specifically, working fine via local StoreKit config in the simulator) but haven't found a clear explanation or fix. Anyone know why Storefront.current / the catalog query would fail to resolve correctly on TestFlight while Product.purchase() resolves fine in the same session?

iOS 27 Beta: StoreKit FinishTransactionRequest repeatedly fails with requestEncodeFailed
I am experiencing a StoreKit issue on iOS 27 Beta with eFootball™ 11.0.0 (jp.konami.pesactionmobile). After an in-app purchase, the app becomes stuck on an infinite loading screen during login. If I manage to log in, the in-game Shop also remains stuck loading. I investigated the issue using macOS Console and found that StoreKit repeatedly attempts to finish the same production transaction every approximately 2–3 seconds. The relevant logs are: Starting request FinishTransactionRequest(...) Failed to encode request parameters NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 Error finishing transaction: StoreKitServiceError StoreKitInternalError.requestEncodeFailed The same transaction is repeatedly passed to FinishTransactionRequest, but the finish operation never succeeds. What I have confirmed The purchase itself was confirmed by Apple Support as successfully completed. The transaction is a Production transaction with the JPN storefront. Reinstalling eFootball does not resolve the issue. Restarting the iPhone does not resolve the issue. Signing out and back into "Media & Purchases" with the affected Apple Account does not resolve the issue. Network requests from the app itself are succeeding with HTTP 200 responses. The issue occurs when StoreKit attempts to finish the transaction. Most importantly, if I sign out of the affected Apple Account under Media & Purchases and sign in with a different Apple Account on the same iPhone, eFootball immediately works normally again — both login and the Shop load successfully. If I switch back to the original Apple Account, the issue returns. Steps to reproduce Use the affected Apple Account for Media & Purchases. Launch eFootball. Attempt to log in. The app remains stuck loading. Observe Console logs from storekitd. The same transaction repeatedly triggers FinishTransactionRequest. Each attempt fails with StoreKitInternalError.requestEncodeFailed. Expected behavior StoreKit should successfully finish the completed transaction, remove it from the unfinished transaction queue, and allow the app to continue normally. Actual behavior FinishTransactionRequest repeatedly fails with requestEncodeFailed, causing the same transaction to be processed indefinitely and preventing normal use of the app. Has anyone encountered the same behavior on iOS 27 Beta? Is this a known StoreKit issue, or is there any way to safely clear/finish the affected production transaction without restoring the device to the current public iOS release?

App rejected repeatedly: Subscriptions fail to load in Review but work perfectly in TestFlight
To the Apple Review and Developer Support Teams, I am writing to request guidance and assistance regarding a persistent rejection my React Native application is facing under Guideline 2.1 - Performance (In-App Purchases). My app has been rejected multiple times with the following specific note: "The In-App Purchase products in the app still exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, the subscription screen failed to load any subscription plans. Review the details and resources below to troubleshoot this issue." The screenshot provided by the review team shows a completely black screen where our paywall options are intended to populate, indicating that the product array is returning completely empty during the review process. The Dilemma: We are completely unable to reproduce this behavior on our end. Everything functions flawlessly within our TestFlight builds across multiple physical test devices and various sandbox tester accounts. On TestFlight, the paywall renders instantly, local pricing fetches immediately via SKProductsRequest, and test transactions process without a single error. Our Current Implementation & Verification: Product Status: All subscription products are explicitly marked as "Waiting for Review" in App Store Connect with one In-App product Rejected for not being attached with a bin but I've since submitted the app once again. All the subscriptions and the in-app product have been actively attached to this specific app submission version. Agreements: The Paid Apps Agreement is active, signed, and fully up to date within our Agreements, Tax, and Banking configurations. Identifiers: We have strictly verified that the hardcoded product identifiers in our React Native codebase match the App Store Connect product IDs exactly. Because this error only occurs within the App Review environment and never in TestFlight or local sandboxes, we are at a loss for how to debug or resolve this issue. Could the App Review team or the Developer Support technical team please clarify if there is a known environment mismatch, storefront routing discrepancy, or specific network configuration (such as IPv6 handling in the review sandbox) that would cause production-ready StoreKit products to return an empty array exclusively to the reviewer? Any direct guidance, logs, or steps on how we can successfully surface our plans to your review team would be deeply appreciated. Review Environment Submission ID: 5a35279c-1621-4972-b6c6-7c1fb202b2f0 Review date: May 20, 2026 Review Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M3) Version reviewed: 1.0.2 (8) Thank you for your time and assistance.

Cannot attach first In-App Purchase to app version after Guideline 2.1(b) rejection: "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section missing
Hi everyone, Not sure if this is a known App Store Connect bug but hoping either someone here has a workaround, or an Apple engineer can help push this along. Background: this is my first In-App Purchase submission for my app. My original binary was submitted without the IAP attached (my mistake, first time doing this), so the app was rejected under Guideline 2.1(b) for referencing a paid feature whose IAP wasn't submitted for review. Since then: The IAP (non-consumable, one-time purchase) is fully configured with a review screenshot and notes, and shows status "Ready for Review" after submitting via "Add for Review" My app version is in a rejected state with an "Update Review" button available The problem: I can't get these two linked together anywhere in the UI. Clicking "Update Review" on the version page resubmits it, but never shows any option to attach the IAP Clicking "Add for Review" from the IAP page opens a Draft Submission, but that draft says "Unable to Submit for Review: To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform," with no version selector anywhere in that panel Tried hard refresh, incognito, different browsers, starting a fresh draft submission. Same result every time. Result: resubmitted the app, got the exact same 2.1(b) rejection again, confirming the IAP genuinely never made it into the review package despite showing as correctly configured on my end. I've seen a few other threads describing what sounds like the exact same issue, where the "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section disappears from the version page after a first rejection, and the fix ended up requiring an Apple support agent to manually push the IAP status forward on the backend, without needing another binary. Has anyone found a way to trigger this from the developer side, or is direct support/engineering intervention really the only path? Already have a case open with Apple Developer Support as well, happy to share the Case ID via DM if that helps someone from Apple locate it faster. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Payment Marked as "Paid" But Not Received After 3 Business Days
Dear Apple Support, I am writing to report a payment issue with my App Store Connect developer account. The latest payment is marked as "Paid" in the Payments and Financial Reports section, but as of today, more than 3 business days have passed and the funds have not yet arrived in my bank account. I have double-checked that my banking information is accurate and up to date. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide further clarification on the current status of the payment. Thank you in advance for your support.

Discontinue an auto-renewable subscription?
We have an auto-renewable subscription in our app that we want to stop offering. However, we want to make sure that people who have already purchased the subscription remain subscribed until the end of their current subscription period (and are subsequently unsubscribed and not charged further). What is the right way to do this?We tried submitting the app with the subscription still enabled in App Store Connect but hidden in the app, and our update was rejected because the reviewer couldn't find a way to subscribe.Thanks,Frank

Subscriptions stuck "In Review" for over a month while app is live — users cannot purchase (Case ID 102939768542)
Our app is live on the App Store, but its two auto-renewable subscriptions have been stuck in "In Review" for over a month. Users can download the app but cannot subscribe — in production, StoreKit only returns approved products, so our paywall shows nothing and monetization has been completely blocked since launch day. APP / PRODUCT DETAILS App: 流动 (Flow) — Apple ID: 6772474397 App status: v1.0.0 (build 625), approved and live since July 23, 2026 Subscription group: "Flow Premium" (ID 22108903) — the group itself shows "Approved" Products stuck in "In Review": com.echo.flow.premium.monthly (1 month) com.echo.flow.premium.yearly (1 year) Paid Apps Agreement is active; banking and tax are complete TIMELINE Jul 12: First contacted Developer Support (Case ID 102939768542). At that time the subscriptions were stuck in "Waiting for Review" and could not be attached to any version submission. Jul 23–24: Followed up; was told the issue had been "escalated to the appropriate internal team". Shortly after, both subscriptions moved from "Waiting for Review" to "In Review" — the only progress in this entire period. Jul 31 → Aug 3 reply, and Aug 7 → same-day reply: two more follow-ups on the same case. Both replies were the identical "escalated to the internal team" template. No one has contacted me since, and the status has never changed. Aug 18 (today): Both subscriptions are still "In Review" — roughly 4 weeks in this state, 5+ weeks since my first support contact. Normal IAP review is said to be 24–48 hours. NO ACTION IS AVAILABLE ON MY SIDE Both subscription pages are locked: I cannot edit metadata, delete the products, or remove them from review. "Add for Review" is greyed out. They cannot be selected on a new app version page (they are not in "Ready to Submit"). So this appears to be stuck inside the review pipeline itself, and nothing in App Store Connect lets me unblock it. REQUEST Could someone from the App Store Commerce / App Review team please either: Complete the review of these two subscriptions, or Reset them to "Ready to Submit" so I can immediately resubmit them — with a new app version if required (build 626 is ready to go). I've seen a very similar case in this forum (thread 818811) resolved after an App Store Commerce Engineer looked into it — I'd be grateful for the same kind of help. Thank you!

Transaction.finish() is a no-op on iOS 27 beta 5; purchase() then replays the same transaction forever
Transaction.finish() doesn't clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5 — worked correctly through beta 4 — every repeat purchase after the first replays the same transaction with no confirmation sheet and no charge. StoreKit.Transaction.finish() does not clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5. The transaction remains in Transaction.unfinished indefinitely, and every subsequent Product.purchase() call for that product returns the same stale transaction instead of starting a new purchase — with no confirmation sheet, no charge, and no way for the app to tell it apart from a genuine purchase. Because the replayed result is .success carrying a VerificationResult that verifies normally, an app has no supported signal that nothing was bought. The only distinguishing traits are that the id and purchaseDate are unchanged and the call returns in ~10ms instead of making a server round-trip. Consequence: a consumable product can be purchased exactly once per device. Every later attempt silently no-ops while appearing to succeed. Steps to Reproduce On a device running iOS 27 beta 5, sign in to a newly created Sandbox Apple Account (Settings → Apps → App Store → Sandbox Account) with no prior purchase history. Install and launch a development build of an app offering a consumable IAP. Confirm Transaction.unfinished is empty. Purchase the consumable. The confirmation sheet appears and the purchase completes normally. await transaction.finish() on the returned transaction. Enumerate Transaction.unfinished again. Purchase the same consumable a second time. Expected Results Step 6: Transaction.unfinished is empty — the transaction was finished. Step 7: a confirmation sheet appears and a new transaction is created, with a new id and a current purchaseDate. Actual Results Step 6: the just-finished transaction is still listed in Transaction.unfinished. Step 7: no confirmation sheet appears. purchase() returns .success in ~0.01s carrying the same transaction — identical id and identical purchaseDate — and nothing is charged. This repeats indefinitely. Re-fetching the transaction from Transaction.unfinished and calling finish() on that instance does not clear it either, so there is no app-side way to drain the queue. Diagnostic Log Virgin sandbox account, empty queue, three consecutive taps on one product: unfinished before tip.small: [] purchase() returned after 18.10s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 --- await transaction.finish() --- unfinished after finishing 2000001221113013: [small#2000001221113013] unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 The first call is a genuine purchase (18s round-trip, sheet shown). The transaction survives its own finish(). Calls two and three are replays of it. Notes Not reproducible against a local .storekit configuration in the Simulator, which always presents the confirmation sheet. Requires Apple's sandbox. Also reproduces on a TestFlight build billed to a real Apple ID, where it is worse: TestFlight purchase history cannot be reset, so the affected products stay permanently stuck for that account. It survives deleting and reinstalling the app, and a device reboot. Possibly the same underlying issue as the unanswered report at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808648 (iOS 26/18, Nov 2025). Configuration Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max OS: iOS 27 beta 5 Products: consumable in-app purchases API: StoreKit 2 (Product.purchase(), Transaction.finish(), Transaction.unfinished)

IAP Product Not Getting Approved – Stuck in Review Loop
I’m stuck in a loop where my in-app purchase (IAP) product cannot be reviewed because my app version is in “Rejected” status. In order to submit the IAP for review, I need to submit a new app version and select the IAP product. But since the current version is rejected, I can't select the IAP during submission. As a result, RevenueCat can't fetch the IAP products, and the app appears to not use in-app purchases, which leads to another rejection. I’d like to know the correct steps to break this cycle and properly submit both the app and the IAP for review. Any guidance is appreciated!

App approved and released, but auto-renewable subscriptions remain "Waiting for Review" and StoreKit returns no products
M y app was approved and is now live on the App Store, but all four auto-renewable subscriptions are still Waiting for Review in App Store Connect. Because of this, the production app's StoreKit 2 call to Product.products(for:) returns 0 products, and users see: "No subscription products were returned by the App Store." There are no metadata errors or warnings—only Waiting for Review. My questions are: Is it normal for an app to be released before its subscriptions are approved? While subscriptions are in Waiting for Review, is it expected that Product.products(for:) returns an empty array? Has anyone experienced this, and how long did it take for the subscriptions to be approved after the app was already live? I've attached: App Store Connect screenshot showing all four subscriptions in Waiting for Review. App screenshot showing the "No subscription products were returned by the App Store." message. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can't submit IAP for review
Looking for some advice to get past a road block submitting a macOS app for review with an In-App Purchase. The IAP is a non-consumable one time purchase that will unlock additional features. I've submitted a new version of the app but when I try to attache the IAP I get a warning: Unable to Submit for Review Your first non-consumable in-app purchase must be submitted with a new app version. Anyone able to shed some light? This is my first attempt at attaching an IAP and I'm stumped. Thanks, in advance.

StoreKit storekit_no_response — queryProductDetails returns 0 products despite fully active Paid Apps Agreement
I'm seeing IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: "StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.") when calling queryProductDetails() (via Flutter's in_app_purchase/in_app_purchase_storekit plugin) for all 6 of my app's In-App Purchase products. This happens consistently on a real device (iOS 18.7.9), including after a full device restart. I've followed the entire TN3186 checklist: Paid Apps Agreement: Active Banking: Active Tax Forms: Active Bundle ID matches App Store Connect and Certificates/Identifiers/Profiles In-App Purchase capability is enabled on the App ID All 6 product identifiers match exactly and are attached to the app version under review Pricing is set for all territories on all products None of this resolves the error. This also caused an App Store review rejection citing "In-app purchase products... could not be found in the submitted binary" for the same reason. Bundle ID: com.playadda.playadda Product IDs affected: gems_pack_100, gems_pack_500, gems_pack_1200, premium_monthly, battle_pass_s1, starter_pack Has anyone found a resolution to this specific error beyond the standard TN3186 checklist?

Cancel subscription not working in TestFlight
Hi, I have deployed my app on Test Flight, I have two subscriptions, monthly and yearly. User can have one of them at a time and upgrade, downgrade to the other. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel from the Apple Settings worked fine in the sandbox environment when testing locally. Now when I have deployed the app on TestFlight, I was able to purchase the subscription successfully from my app. Now when I want to cancel my subscription from the Apple Settings it gives me the following error after confirming cancellation, 'Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later.' Also the other subscription offer (yearly) is also not shown to which I could upgrade, even though in the sandbox I was able to upgrade downgrade from the settings. Another thing I have noticed is that the app Icon or name is not shown anywhere in settings with the subscription. Instead of app icon only empty square is shown. Even though app icon shows fine everywhere else. Can someone please help me figure out this issue?

Transaction.currentEntitlements returning NULL values
Hi, Overview In my project I am using a .storekit StoreKit configuration file that is synced. I have only non-consumable products Problem When I loop through Transaction.currentEntitlements after verification the properties such as transaction.productType are all NULL. Note I have called .finish on the transaction after the following: Processing Transaction.updates Processing purchasing a new product Environment: Xcode 27 Beta 5 iOS 26.6 Questions How can I resolve this? Am I missing something? Should I be using Transaction.latest(for:) instead of Transaction.currentEntitlements?
