Hi, I have an app that was coded in app for a free trial for 4 days and then the user is to be charged one time on the 5th day. No recurring subscription. Since this was coded in the app as in-app purchase, how do I set this up on the app store? Set it as free and then it will ask for payment on the 5th day? I just now saw that there is a non-recurring subscription option too. Do I set that up, or will they be charged twice? Thanks for your help.

I'm making app for both iPhone and watch. And when I validating receipt on iPhone, it is successfull and possible to get all the previous transitions. But on the watch when I validating the receipt it returns a status code 21002. I use the same code. What should I do to prevent this issue ?

My IAPs were rejected on the localization section. I updated those and the localization changed to "Ready for submission" but the over all IAP still says "developer action needed" How do I find what other action is needed? I have a new binary in review now but, that didnt change anything with the IAPs.

Apple approved 2 versions of my app already without approving the IAP items. all 4 IAP items are "in review" for very long.. Does anybody know why apple forgot to approve my iap alongside with the actual game binaries? 😂 This is getting really infuriating, we need to go live and apple won't let us. If any moderator sees it, please contact me. we need help ASAP, support is not answering

We encountered some order issue in recent 3 months. We were told some orders were false, while they were found the purchase processed successfully. We use https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt to check the order, but we can’t find it. But when we use https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/lookup/ to check it, it returns that the user has finished the purchase. Anyone have this problem and how to solve it?

Dear all, Our company makes A.I Camera equipment and we sell that hardware. Our users pay a fee for the use of the Cloud video history storage function uploaded by that device and pay for the use of some of the device's extended features. In this case, can I use another payment method in our country other than IAP? I would like to create a payment screen to let user choose which payment method they want, or using one of my country's payment gateway. I have read this article https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#payments section 3.1.4 Hardware-Specific Content, but not sure is it correct. Is this valid and consistent with Apple policy? Thank you.

Good morning! Quick question regarding receipt validation when doing subscription restore. I do restore for subscription. My receipt has 10 transactions... after the restore obviously it will have 20 transactions in it. Do I need to sync the receipt with our backend for every new transactions created by restore operation or I can finish n-1 transaction and just send the receipt once for the last transaction? Will the receipt be the same for every transaction created by restore operation?

I am running subscription purchase tests on different apps, but I get the message "maximum number of free accounts", why am I showing this message when I use the test sandbox users? but more important! How I can solve having to use different test sandbox accounts anyway? Thanks Danilo

Hello! One matter of concern we got so far, considering the possibility of other in-app purchase methods. As far as I understood from the “App Store Review Guidelines” we may provide our future users with purchase methods other than in-app purchase, while still having Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry. So here is the case:  app is to be distributed in Europe and CIS countries app is to be a chat app (kinda chat app for taxi-drivers) *(according to 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App if applied, we may and must use other purchase methods (!*of course, payment in Russia causes the greatest concern, but now it’s not the question)). So if we may use other purchase methods, then one more question to arise: Is it OK to  add in-app buttons and options (like links) to pay services, or we only allowed to inform our users about such methods via e-mail? Heartfelt thanks in advance!

I want to build a play to earn game with nfts and in app purchases with a cryptocurrency token. Is this allowed in the App Store?

I have three questions regarding IAP refunds (these questions from my account department If a user asks for and is granted a refund within the net-60 window, are we still charged the commission on that sale, or is the sale just voided If a user asks for and is granted outside of the net-60 window, is that revenue discounted from the next payment period? How are those communicated? Is there a time frame in which refund are granted?

Hi, I'm developing an app that involves the user solving problems. I want my app to have a free trial, but I'd like that trial to expire after the user has solved a certain number of problems, as opposed to after some pre-specified time period. When the trial expires, they'll need to either purchase a non-renewing subscription, else some functionality limitations will be imposed. Given the above, I have two questions: I know that a time-based free trial is permitted by Apple, but is a usage-based free trial - as described above - allowed? If a usage-based free trial is allowed, are there any specific details relating to how this trial (and/or the subscription) should be communicated to the user?

When we use Apple's in-app purchase, we will receive the callback of SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed in the paymentQueue:updatedTransactions: method, and print transaction.error.userInfod to get the following information: { NSLocalizedDescription = "An SSL error occurred and a secure connection to this server could not be established."; NSUnderlyingError = "Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1200 "Failed to complete the operation. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error -1200.)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to complete operation. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error -1200.) After switching to another network, you can pay normally, how can I solve this situation, thank you

Hi there We have added a new auto-renewable subscription for our app, which had been reviewed and released about a week ago. The new subscription item's status changed approved, but the status remain "Developer removed" at that moment. We checked "cleared for sale" after the next day that app had been released. And from then on, until now(2 days later), we can not fetch this new subscription item from Apple API, neither can see the new in-app purchase item from AppStore product page. We had tried to contact Apple tech support, it is slow, still waiting. I am coming here try for lucky

Hi there. I'm putting together a subscription App that will charge a monthly subscription fee. I was wondering what fee does Apple charge for this? As a percentage or as a fixed fee? Or just a percentage of the initial monthly fee? I need to know this to work out my pricing? Thank you.

Hi, I have encoutered problem while testing in app purchases on Test Flight using production environment. I have created two non reniewing subscriptions and one auto renewable subscription. When I query products from store using storekit, it returns wrong price for any location using euro. It works fine for US Dollar or czech crown. Correct price is also displayed for auto-renewing subscription. Example: I have chosen Tier 59 and expected to see price 94.99 €, but price 104.99 € is returned.

Half of the approved items purchased in the app in the sandbox test are not recharged successfully, which indicates that the props have not been paid / the bills are wrong. How to solve this problem?
