Dear all, This is my first post in this forum - and, in fact, my first app, too! I'm glad to be here, and thanks in advance for your help. I'm looking to offer an app for a one-time payment. I'd also like people to be able to try the app for a week. It seems that the "Pricing and Availability" section in App Store Connect is not the right place to configure this kind of offer. It does allow me to set a one-time price, but I cannot find a trial-period there (or am I missing something?) Two different strategies seem possible here: Using in-app-purchases: make the actual app free, but ask users after a week to buy a non-consumable IAP. The problem with that: I need to verify that the app has been installed for seven days ... even if it has been uninstalled at some point. Using subscriptions: There is a "free trial" option for subscriptions. But after that free trial, subscriptions are being payed periodically. I'd rather have the user only pay once for lifetime-access. Some apps seem to use strategy 1 - I believe the "Lap swim" app does. But still it seems like a bit of a hack - is there a more elegant way to achieve this?

StoreKit ask to buy should have more data in pending state. When user try to purchase ask to buy, we should get at least transactionID, product itself, and time that user start the request. So we can keep track of the whole transaction flow jwsRepresentation should always available for every state, actually even failing state. And should attach state inside of it. Instead of only available after verified purchase. So we can use transactionID and everything relate to transaction for both waiting for purchase and clearing up the cancel or invalid purchase Currently we only have jwsRepresentation after complete purchase, which is very limited its usage

We feel like we're at the end of the long and treacherous process of migrating to StoreKit2. But we've hit a small snag. When testing in the sandbox environment, we've found that if we don't finish a transactions, no subsequent purchase (invoked via call to purchase or the other purchase) will produce the confirmation sheet. Is this the expected behavior? The behavior is observed on iOS26 and 18. Our app will only attempt to finish the transaction if it successfully uploads the receipt to our API. If it fails to do so for whatever reason, the transaction is left unfinished. Whilst the user is informed about this, users will commonly try again. Our concern is that since the confirmation sheet will not be shown again, users will not know they are actually paying again - most certainly not the UX we want to have. We'd much rather have our users be fully aware when they're paying us money. The reason we're choosing not to finish the transaction until our backend has received it and confirmed the receipt to be valid is that the only way the user can get their product is if the server side is aware of this and add more time to the users account. When finishing the transaction via finish immediately after the purchase() call, the confirmation sheet is shown every time after subsequent calls to purchase(). Again, is this the expected behavior both in the sandbox and the production environments? Are we doing something wrong or misusing the product API? We are somewhat stumped because technically, we could get the first confirmation for a product purchase, and then finish it only after an arbitrary amount of calls to purchase() have been made - the user will believe they will have paid only once, but we will receive however much money we can drain from their account - most certainly not the kind of app we want to develop. Please advise and best regards, Emīls

I would like to inquire about the originalTransactionId of StoreKit2. Users who purchase auto-renewal subscription products To re-purchase the same subscription item after cancellation and prior to refund If you receive a refund after cancellation and re-purchase the same subscription item If you do not renew immediately after expiration and re-purchase the same subscription after a long period of time I would like to ask if 1, 2, and 3 all use the same value as the original Transaction Id at the initial subscription. In the case of 3, if you re-purchase more than a few days after the last subscription purchase, please let me know if there are any detailed conditions such as the original Transaction Id not maintained.

Hello, My app "MyCourses" (bundle id: com.ahmedbaqer.mycourses) was rejected under Guideline 2.1 because "No action followed when we tapped the button to subscribe to a course" on iPadOS 26.1. When I run the same code (version 1.0.0 (11)) from Xcode on a real device using a StoreKit configuration file (In App Purchase.storekit), the purchase flow works correctly: When I tap the "Subscribe via Apple" button, the App Store purchase sheet appears. The purchase completes successfully and unlocks the course. I use the in_app_purchase Flutter plugin and queryProductDetails to load products. However, when I install the build via TestFlight (and in App Review), tapping the same "Subscribe via Apple" button does nothing – which matches the behavior described by App Review. From my logs it looks like queryProductDetails is returning an empty productDetails list in that environment. For In‑App Purchases: I created 7 non‑consumable products in App Store Connect. Their Product IDs exactly match the IDs in my In App Purchase.storekit file (used only for local Xcode testing). All IAPs are now in "Waiting for Review" status and are linked to the iOS app version 1.0.0 (11) in the “In‑App Purchases and Subscriptions” section. At the time of the original review, some IAPs were in "Developer Action Needed / Rejected" state, so I suspect queryProductDetails may have returned no products and the reviewer saw no action after tapping the button. My questions: When IAP products are in "Waiting for Review" and linked to the app version, should queryProductDetails return them during App Review / TestFlight, or do they need to be fully approved first? Is there any additional configuration required so that the subscribe button reliably shows the App Store purchase sheet for reviewers (for example, any specific StoreKit / sandbox settings)? Are there recommended best practices to show a clearer error state when queryProductDetails returns no products, so that App Review understands this is a configuration / IAP-status issue rather than a UI bug? Any guidance from Apple engineers or other developers who faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I’m currently testing an auto-renewable subscription whose availability is restricted to Japan only (all other territories disabled in App Store Connect). However, when testing in the Sandbox environment, the behavior does not match the availability settings: Sandbox Apple ID storefront: Taiwan Subscription availability: Japan only StoreKit 2 (Product.products(for:)) still returns the product Sandbox purchase succeeds even though it should be unavailable in this region. Questions Is this expected behavior in the Sandbox environment? Does Sandbox not enforce subscription territory availability? Is this a known limitation where Sandbox validates the purchase flow only, without applying real storefront availability rules? Will territory restrictions be enforced correctly in production once the app and subscriptions are “Ready for Sale”? Is there any recommended way to test storefront-based availability before release? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I noticed the Product.SubscriptionInfo subscriptionPeriod (of type Product.SubscriptionPeriod) is different for the same product between StoreKit Testing in Xcode and the sandbox/App Store (production) environment. For a “1 week” auto-renewable subscription, we get the following: StoreKit Testing in Xcode: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 1 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.week Sandbox/App Store: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 7 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.day This created issues in my app because I used the localizedDescription of a Product.SubscriptionPeriod to display a text similar to “$4.99 per week”. This is what I obtain with the StoreKit Testing in Xcode, but in the Sandbox/App Store environment, it displays “$4.99 per day” (because the subscriptionPeriod is “7 Days” and the unit is then .day). Obviously, this is not what I wanted to display. Other periods like “1 month”, “2 months”, “3 months”, “6 months, and “1 year”, the period provided by both StoreKit Testing and Sandbox/App Store correspond to the period unit specified in App Store Connect. In addition, I want to report that for a weekly subscription/offer or a 2 weeks offer, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod or Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly or .everyTwoWeeks is always false. We observe the following: With Sandbox or App Store live production: 1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”) 1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”) 2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”) 2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”) But with an Xcode StoreKit configuration file: 1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”) 1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”) 2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”) 2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”) So in sandbox and production, .weekly and .everyTwoWeeks is never possible. If someone from Apple could check the feedback FB19605865 🙂 Thank you Regards, Axel, @alpennec Code: do { let productIDs: [String] = ["revenueSocks_weekly_trial"] let products: [StoreKit.Product] = try await Product.products (for: productIDs) let weeklySubscription: StoreKit.Product = products.first! let displayPrice: String = weeklySubscription.displayPrice // For a weekly subscription in App Store Connect // With an Xcode StoreKit configuration file: subscriptionPeriod unit is Week (week), value is 1 → "1 Week" // With the Sandbox + App Store: subscriptionPeriod unit is Day (.day), value is 7 → "7 Days" let unitString: String = weeklySubscription.subscription!.subscriptionPeriod.unit.localizedDescription print("\(displayPrice) per \(unitString.localizedLowercase)") // StoreKit configuration file → "$4.99 per week" // Sandbox + App Store → "$4.99 per day" } catch { print(error) }

Hello, I am currently implementing External Purchase Link and External Purchase Custom Link and am encountering an issue where both ExternalPurchaseLink.canOpen and ExternalPurchaseCustomLink.isEligible always return false under all test conditions. I would like to confirm whether my setup is missing any required steps or whether this behavior is expected. Below are the details of my current environment and configuration: 🔧 1. Development Environment Xcode: 16.3, 16.4, 26.0 beta 4 Devices: iPhone running iOS 26.2 beta iPhone running iOS 16.7.12 macOS 15.5 (real device testing) Simulator iOS 18.0 Build Type: Local development build using a Developer Provisioning Profile Sandbox account signed in during testing 🔑 2. Entitlements (Developer site & Xcode) In Certificates → Identifiers → App ID, both capabilities are enabled: StoreKit External Purchase StoreKit External Purchase Link The .entitlements file in Xcode includes: com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase = YES com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase-link = YES The Provisioning Profile also contains both entitlements (confirmed via codesign -d --entitlements :-). 📄 3. Info.plist Configuration Both keys are configured with correct region codes according to documentation: SKExternalPurchase SKExternalPurchaseCustomLinkRegions 🌍 4. Test Storefront Device storefront verified as United States (US) or Portugal (PT) (US = target region for External Purchase Link, PT = EU region) But despite all the above configuration, both API calls consistently return false: ExternalPurchaseLink.canOpen // false ExternalPurchaseCustomLink.isEligible // false So I cannot proceed to testing the remaining flow (token retrieval, link opening, etc.) ------ Questions ------ ❓ Q1) Local Development Build Limitation Is it expected behavior that Developer-signed local builds always return canOpen = false / isEligible = false for External Purchase Link & Custom Link? Is there a technical or policy restriction that prevents eligibility in local dev builds? ❓ Q2) App Store Connect Configuration Requirement Are there mandatory App Store Connect settings (such as external purchase URLs, support URL, disclosures, or country configuration) that must be enabled before eligibility becomes true? Currently, no External Purchase Link or Custom Link menu is visible in my App Store Connect app settings. Is this menu only available after certain approvals or under specific conditions? ❓ Q3) TestFlight Requirement Do External Purchase Link and Custom Link only return eligibility = true on: TestFlight builds, or Distribution-signed builds? Or should eligibility also work on developer builds? Formal confirmation would be helpful. ❓ Q4) Developer Account Type Limitation We are using an Individual Developer Account (not Organization). Can Individual accounts fully request, test, and ship apps using: External Purchase Link External Purchase Custom Link Or are there limitations on account type? 🙏 Request We have completed all documented setup steps (Entitlements → Provisioning → Info.plist), but eligibility remains false, blocking feature validation. Please clarify which of the following is the cause: Local development builds do not support eligibility Missing App Store Connect configuration (not visible to us) Account type restriction Region rollout or entitlement approval requirement Any additional setup not documented publicly Thank you for your assistance.

Trying to test IAP in sandbox. I created the test group and tester accounts. Accepted the invite downloaded the app. Signed into to sandbox in settings with the tester account. In app the purchases are failing and throwing my catch error message product couldn't be found. I decided to test it from settings/ sandbox/ manage/ initiate purchase/ but I've been getting "can't complete transaction. Something went wrong, ant this transaction couldn't be completed. Try again later" since last week. I reached out to dev support over the phone then email and they couldn't or wouldn't provide assistance. I asked my senior at work she took a look at it and confirmed I created the IAP correctly and that my sandbox account could make test purchases in apps she make but couldn't get mine to work. The storekit test work fine in xcode I just don't know what to do now.

If an app on the App Store still uses StoreKit 1 (a.k.a. the Original StoreKit) to handle In-App Purchases, would IAPs work for users who download such app on iOS 26.2? Would the app allow the users to purchase an IAP via StoreKit 1 or would it be impossible to buy the IAP on iOS 26? The iOS Documentation says that SKPaymentQueue (which is a part of StoreKit 1) is "Deprecated" and "No longer supported.", with the support being for iOS 3.0–18.0. Does this mean that apps using StoreKit 1 won't be able to make IAP purchases when running on iOS 26?

I'm suddenly receiving zero products from SKProductsRequest, even though this setup previously worked without issues. The debugger shows that both of my product identifiers are now being returned under invalidIdentifiers, and response.products is empty. I’ve confirmed the following: There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. The subscription is active and configured correctly. The product identifiers match exactly with what’s defined in App Store Connect. Here is the delegate method I'm using (unchanged from when it previously worked): extension UpgradeViewModelProvider: SKProductsRequestDelegate { func productsRequest(_ request: SKProductsRequest, didReceive response: SKProductsResponse) { if response.products.count > 0 { delegate.send(.onProduct(response.products)) } } } Since everything was functioning before, I’m trying to understand what may have caused the identifiers to suddenly be marked as invalid. Any guidance or suggestions on what to check next would be greatly appreciated.

Our app was just rejected by Apple because they say the subscription management sheet never loads. It just spins indefinitely. We're using StoreKit's manageSubscriptionsSheet view modifier to present the sheet, and it's always worked for us when testing in SandBox. Has anyone else had this problem? Given that it's Apple's own code that got us rejected, what's our path forward?

StoreKit error:Storekit has failed to fetch this product. We implemented in-app purchases using StoreKit2. During testing, we were able to make purchases smoothly in various ways without any issues. However, the reviewers encountered this error, and it happened 100% of the time.

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?

I added my first subscription to my app using StoreKit's SubscriptionStoreView. Everything worked as expected in the debug environment and also in TestFlight. So I submitted my app and subscriptions to App Store Connect, got everything Approved and released. After updating my app through App Store and checking the Subscription View, it just says "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." I waited around 3 days and still getting the same message. Now the very strange behavior starts. I went to App Store Connect, I made and edit to the subscription description, saved, removed the edit, saved, and submitted to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions appear in my app and everything works as expected. After getting the edit approved, the Subscription View in my app again only showed the message "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." No user is able to see the subscriptions anymore, even though it worked as expected before the edit was approved. So I did the same as before. Again, make an edit to the subscription description, save, remove the edit, save, submit to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions are again available in my app and it works as expected. This is definitely not the expected behavior and submitting the subscription edits every day is wasting the App Review Team's time as well as mine. I contacted Apple Developer Support but I didn't get any reply back (at least yet). I am not the only one experiencing this. I found a friend online who has the exact same issue, and is able to temporarily solve it by making an edit to the subscription description as well. So far it has been a huge headache, and we are losing customers this way. Please if anyone has experience with this problem, or has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Tomas

Hello everyone, I’m currently experiencing an issue where no subscriptions appear in my app when fetching products from StoreKit via react-native-iap. I would like to confirm whether this is related to my App Store Connect setup or a possible StoreKit limitation. Context My app uses react-native-iap and successfully initializes the StoreKit connection with: await RNIap.initConnection(); const items = await RNIap.fetchProducts({ skus: productIds, type: 'subs', }); productIds contains valid identifiers matching those configured in App Store Connect. The API /plan dynamically returns the correct product IDs. The fetch call completes successfully, but returns an empty array ([]). What I have already done Confirmed all subscription products exist and are correctly linked to the same app bundle ID. All subscriptions are currently in “Waiting for Review” status in App Store Connect. Verified that StoreKit connection is initialized correctly (RNIap.initConnection() returns successfully). Tested on a real device (iPhone 14, iOS 18). Contacted App Review by phone — they confirmed my implementation was correct and told me that pending subscriptions should still appear for review. Followed Apple’s official guides: TN3186: Troubleshooting in-app purchase availability in the sandbox TN3188: Troubleshooting in-app purchase availability in the App Store Unfortunately, neither solved the issue. Code excerpt Here’s the relevant portion of my React Native code: await RNIap.initConnection(); let items = await RNIap.fetchProducts({ skus: productIds, type: 'subs', }); setProducts(items); console.log('🛍️ Products from Store:', items); Everything runs fine, no errors — but items is always empty. Question Could this be due to the fact that my subscriptions are still Waiting for Review (not yet “Ready for Sale”)? If yes, is there any way for the App Review or developer testing environment to see them before they are approved? Or could I be missing a configuration step (for example, enabling the App-Specific Shared Secret or App Store server notifications)? Any advice from someone who has faced this issue or from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Environment React Native 0.76 react-native-iap 13.7.0 iOS 18.1 (real device) Xcode 16 Products: Auto-renewable subscriptions Status: “Waiting for Review” App currently in App Review Thank you, Sébastien

Try this simple code: import SwiftUI import StoreKit struct ReviewView: View { @Environment(\.requestReview) var requestReview var body: some View { Button("Leave a review") { requestReview() } } } When the Review Alert shows, the "Not Now" button is disabled for some reason!? It was always tappable in all iOS versions that I remember. And there is no way to opt out, unless the user taps on the stars first. Is it a bug or a feature? Thanks for looking into it!

I need help understanding how the In-App purchase subscription works within the same subscription group and how the Order plays a role at the time of auto-renewal. In my case, I have 5 in-app products in the same group as given below with their Order, Order Product ---------------------- 1 Gold Annual 2 Gold Monthly 3 Silver Annual Old, 3 Silver Annual New 4 Silver Monthly One user purchased Silver annual New, at the time of expiry, after a year, it auto-renewed to Silver annual Old. My understanding is that if a user has purchased Silver annual New, at the time of renewal, it should renew with the same product, not with different product id. Is this behaviour expected? Is there any official document which can explain this behaviour? Note: There was no Order given before, recently we have changed the Order to manage Upgrade and Downgrade for In-App subscriptions.
