I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to inquire about a few aspects of implementing non-renewing subscriptions in our app. Firstly, we have encountered a limitation in App Store Connect where the maximum price tier available for non-renewing subscriptions in Euros is €1199. However, our product is priced at €1799. Could anyone please advise how we can handle this scenario? Is there a way to request custom pricing beyond the available tiers, or is there an alternative approach you would recommend? Additionally, we would like clarification on the following: Promo Codes: Are promo codes supported for each non-renewing subscription product? If so, how can we configure and distribute them? Installment Payments: Is it possible to enable installment-based payments for non-renewing subscriptions? If yes, could you guide us on how to set this up or if there are any prerequisites?

Hello everyone I'm implementing age verification in my app to comply with upcoming age assurance laws (Utah, etc.), and I'm using AppStore.ageRatingCode from StoreKit to retrieve my app's current age rating. According to the documentation: extension AppStore { @available(iOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, *) public static var ageRatingCode: Int? { get async } } "Use this property to fetch the age rating for your app and compare it with the last known age rating to check if it has changed." However, calling this always returns 0 in my environment. Environment: Device: Real physical device (not simulator) iOS version: 26.4 Sandbox Apple Account: signed in via Settings → Developer → Sandbox Apple Account App Store Connect: app is registered and age rating is configured Xcode Scheme → Run → Options → StoreKit Configuration: None Code: func getAgeRatingCode() async -> Int? { guard let ageRatingCode = await AppStore.ageRatingCode else { print("Age rating code unavailable") return nil } print("ageRatingCode: \(ageRatingCode)") // always prints 0 return ageRatingCode } Questions: What integer values does ageRatingCode map to? (e.g., does 4+ = 4, 9+ = 9, 13+ = 13, etc.? Or is it a different internal code?) This mapping is not documented anywhere I can find. Is 0 a valid return value, and if so, what does it represent? Is there a known issue with this API returning 0 even when all conditions appear to be correctly configured? Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have successfully used this API would be greatly appreciated.

[SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:] no longer displays the review prompt in debug/development builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k and 23F5043g). According to Apple's documentation, the review prompt should always appear in debug builds to facilitate testing. This was working in previous iOS versions (iOS 26.4 and older). Steps to reproduce: Run app from Xcode in debug configuration on a device running iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k or 23F5043g) Call [SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:windowScene] with a valid, foreground-active UIWindowScene Observe that the method executes without error (scene is valid per NSLog) but no review prompt appears Expected: Review prompt should display in debug builds Actual: No prompt appears, despite the scene being valid and foreground-active This worked correctly on previous iOS versions (26.4) so looks like this bug was introduced in 26.5 Beta versions. I have already filed a bug report in Feedback Assistant with number: FB22445620

I am testing auto renewing subscriptions for a macOS program in Xcode with a local Storekit file. I have renewals set to occur every minute for testing. I quit the app, and watch renewals appear in the Debug transaction manager window. Each is marked unfinished. When I start the app, I call a function that is supposed to get unfinished transactions and finish them. In one of those "I swore it worked the other day", I am now finding it isn't working. The unfinished transaction remain marked as unfinished. func getUnfinished() async { for await verificationResult in Transaction.unfinished { guard case .verified(let transaction) = verificationResult else { continue } await transaction.finish() } } If I add an AppStore.sync() right before looping on Transaction.unfinished, it works (i.e., cleans up unfinished transactions), but I get an alert I have to click through. do { try await AppStore.sync() } catch { print("DEBUG UNFINISHED: AppStore.sync() failed: \(error)") } Any idea why Transaction.unfinished isn't fetching unfinished transactions for me (without the AppStore.sync)?

StoreKit2 Repro Notes: the latest renewal appears in Transaction.unfinished after restore (2026-04-05) 1. Issue Summary In the current project, during a normal cold launch: Transaction.latest(for:) returns a value for the weekly subscription Transaction.all returns the full subscription history chain Transaction.unfinished is empty However, after tapping Restore Purchases and calling AppStore.sync(), one "latest renewal" transaction appears in Transaction.unfinished. This behavior looks more like a system-side replay triggered by AppStore.sync() than a consistently unfinished transaction during a normal launch. 2. Affected Product Product: do.i.iapc.vip.week Transaction chain characteristics: All transactions belong to the same auto-renewable subscription chain originalTransactionID = 2000001143446796 The transaction that appears in unfinished is usually the latest or last renewal in the chain 3. Current Code Path During app startup: loadProducts() Debug snapshot for Transaction.latest(for:) Debug snapshot for Transaction.all Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() During restore purchases: Call AppStore.sync() Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() 4. Preconditions A Sandbox test account is used The weekly subscription do.i.iapc.vip.week already has multiple historical renewal transactions The subscription is already expired, so entitlements = 0 during a normal launch The issue is easier to reproduce on an iOS 26.4 device The issue was not consistently reproduced on another iOS 18.2 device 5. Reproduction Steps Path A: Normal cold launch Launch the app Observe the logs: LatestTransaction snapshot AllTransaction snapshot summary unfinished processing result Observed result: latest has a value all contains the full history chain unfinishedHandledCount = 0 Path B: Tap Restore Purchases Launch the app Tap Restore Purchases Trigger AppStore.sync() Observe the logs: restore started unfinished processing started unfinished transaction received Observed result: After restore, one "latest renewal" transaction appears in unfinished That same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch 6. Expected Result If a transaction has already been successfully finished in the past, it should not appear again as unfinished after Restore Purchases. A stricter expectation is: During a normal cold launch, unfinished = 0 After tapping Restore Purchases, unfinished should still remain 0 7. Actual Result Actual behavior: Normal cold launch: unfinished = 0 After Restore Purchases: one "latest renewal" transaction appears again in unfinished This suggests that AppStore.sync() may replay the most recent historical subscription transaction. 8. Current Assessment Based on the current logs, the issue is more likely to be: Related to AppStore.sync() / StoreKit / Sandbox replay behavior on the system side Easier to reproduce on iOS 26.4 Less likely to be caused by a persistent app-side bug where finish() is missed during a normal startup flow Reasons: During a normal launch, unfinished = 0 The behavior is inconsistent across devices and OS versions, even with the same Sandbox account latest, all, and unfinished can be clearly separated during a normal cold launch 9. Suggested Engineering Position Suggested wording for internal or external communication: In the iOS 26.4 + Sandbox environment, calling AppStore.sync() may cause StoreKit to replay the latest historical subscription transaction into Transaction.unfinished. Since the same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch, the issue currently looks more like a system/environment-specific behavior difference than an app-side bug where finish() is consistently missed during the regular startup path. 10. Additional Evidence That Can Be Collected If this needs to be escalated to the team or to Apple, the following would strengthen the report: Full log comparison before and after tapping Restore Purchases The same transactionId compared between normal launch and post-restore behavior Cross-device comparison on different iOS versions A minimal reproducible sample project and Sandbox test record

Hi everyone, My app has been rejected twice under Guideline 2.1(b) - App Completeness because the reviewer says the In-App Purchase does not trigger a purchase flow when tapping the purchase button. However, I have tested it on a physical iPhone (iOS 18.6.2) and the StoreKit purchase dialog appears and completes successfully. I have confirmed: Paid Apps Agreement is active In-App Purchase product (non-consumable) is configured correctly Sandbox test account works fine Purchase flow works on physical device with screen recording as proof The reviewer tested on iPad Air 11-inch (M3) with iPadOS 26.4. My app uses Flutter with the in_app_purchase package (v3.2.0). The purchase implementation: Calls InAppPurchase.instance.isAvailable() Queries product details with queryProductDetails() Calls buyNonConsumable() when user taps purchase button I found and fixed a potential null reference issue in the purchase completer that could cause the purchase to fail silently, but I'm not sure if this was the exact cause since I cannot reproduce the issue. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where IAP works on device but fails during App Review? Any suggestions on what might be different in the review environment? Thank you.

Device: iPhone 13 OS Version: iOS 26.4, iOS 26.5 Summary: The Settings app crashes when accessing the Sandbox account management screen in Developer Settings while the device is offline. Steps to Reproduce: Enable Developer Mode on the device Disconnect from the internet (Wi-Fi and cellular off) Go to Settings → Developer Ensure a Sandbox account is signed in Tap on "Sandbox" Tap on "Manage" Expected Result: The system should either: Open the Sandbox management screen, or Show an error indicating no internet connection Actual Result: The Settings app crashes immediately after tapping "Manage". Reproducibility: Always (100%) when offline Additional Notes: Issue observed on iOS 26.4 and iOS 26.5 Does not occur on iOS 18 May also be present in other iOS 26.x versions Does not occur when the device has an active internet connection

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

I’m trying to submit the first release of my iOS app together with the app’s first consumable in-app purchases, and I’m stuck in what looks like an App Store Connect state issue. My app was already rejected by App Review because the in-app purchases did not appear inside the app when the reviewer opened the paywall. Current setup: First app release Current app version page: iOS App Version 1.0.2 Current attached build: 5 App has never been released before 4 consumable IAPs: com.glowup.credits.100 com.glowup.credits.500 com.glowup.credits.1000 com.glowup.credits.2500 What I see in App Store Connect: All 4 IAPs show Waiting for Review On the iOS App Version 1.0.2 page, the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section does not appear at all Because of that, I cannot explicitly select or attach the IAPs from the version page What I’ve already done: Uploaded a new build and attached build 5 to version 1.0.2 Removed my local StoreKit configuration file so the app now uses live App Store / StoreKit only Confirmed RevenueCat is configured correctly and sees the offering/packages RevenueCat logs show the products exist remotely, but StoreKit cannot fetch any live products and returns an “offerings empty / none of the products could be fetched” type error RevenueCat also reports the products are still in WAITING_FOR_REVIEW My questions: If the IAPs already show Waiting for Review, are they automatically linked to the current app submission? Is it expected that the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section can disappear from the app version page in this state? For a first-release app that was already rejected, is attaching a new build and clicking Update Review enough, or is there another step required to associate the IAPs with the resubmission? Has anyone seen App Review reject an app for missing IAPs while the IAPs were still pending review and not yet fetchable from StoreKit? Any guidance from someone who has dealt with this exact first-release + first-IAP submission flow would help a lot.

Hi everyone, I’m currently developing an iOS app using React Native and implementing consumable In-App Purchases (IAP). I'm facing an issue where getProducts returns an empty array without any error messages when testing on a TestFlight build. I have already completed the following setup: Agreements, Tax, and Banking: All forms are signed and the status is "Active" in App Store Connect. Product Configuration: The Consumable product is created in App Store Connect with the status "Ready to Submit". App Store Connect Integration: The product is correctly linked under the "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section of the App version. Xcode Capability: The "In-App Purchase" capability has been added to the project. Implementation: The Product ID in my React Native code (using react-native-iap) matches the ID in App Store Connect exactly. Despite these steps, the product list remains empty. Are there any hidden requirements or specific configurations for TestFlight that I might have missed? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Apple Developer Support / StoreKit Team, We recently observed a behavior regarding the appAccountToken in App Store Server Notifications v2 that seems to completely contradict the official documentation. According to the Set App Account Token documentation: The same appAccountToken continues to apply to renewal transactions if the customer upgrades, downgrades, or cross-grades the subscription. However, we encountered a scenario where an active in-app crossgrade resulted in an updated/overwritten appAccountToken inside the subsequent JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload, despite our backend never calling the Set App Account Token REST API. Our Observation: A user subscribes to our 1-month plan (Product A). Apple generates an originalTransactionId bound to their initial appAccountToken (Token A). Later, a crossgrade to a 1-year plan (Product B) is initiated from within the app while the user is logged into a different account in our system (Token B), but using the same underlying Apple ID on the device. When the crossgrade takes effect at the next renewal date, we receive a DID_RENEW webhook. The Anomaly (See Attached Screenshots): Upon decoding the JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload from the webhook, we noticed that the appAccountToken had unexpectedly changed to the new token (Token B). As shown in the attached redacted screenshots: Screenshot 1 (Before/Original): JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload for Product 00001 shows the appAccountToken ending in ...e9a. Screenshot 2 (After Crossgrade): JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload for Product yearly_saver shows the appAccountToken has mutated to ending in ...507, even though the originalTransactionId remains exactly the same. To reiterate, our server did not call the POST /inApps/v1/subscriptions/appAccountToken/{originalTransactionId} endpoint to manually overwrite this token at any point. Our Questions: Is this the intended StoreKit 2 behavior? Does Apple automatically overwrite the base appAccountToken in the RenewalInfo if a new token is somehow associated during an active in-app crossgrade transaction? If this is intended, could the documentation be clarified? The current phrasing strongly suggests the token is permanently locked to the initial purchase and will never change during crossgrades unless the REST API is explicitly called. While this behavior is actually quite helpful for our backend to track multi-account users, we want to ensure we aren't relying on an undocumented bug that might be patched unexpectedly. Any insights from the StoreKit engineering team would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Prerequisites We plan to sell non-consumable items via in-app purchases. The app includes a restore button. We understand that after a payment is completed on a smartphone, the server must verify the receipt and activate the item in the database, and the app must then execute the transaction finish process. Due to our app’s constraints, there are specific cases where we must execute the transaction finish process on the app side without first performing the item activation process in the database. We do not know exactly what the transaction finish process entails. Questions What are the implications in the following cases? The payment was completed, but the product activation process in our database failed, and the transaction finish process was not executed on the app side. After restarting the app, an OS notification indicating an incomplete transaction appeared, and only the finish process was executed. In this scenario, we assume that the OS notification will not appear next time, and the user can simply activate the purchase by starting a transaction recovery. Are there any potential concerns or bugs that might occur? What are the implications if the product activation process in our database succeeds, but the finish operation fails to complete normally due to the user exiting the app or similar circumstances? Our assumption is that since the product is activated in our database, we can provide value for the charge without issue, and there is no deterioration in UX, such as the inability to process refunds in the app store. Are there any potential concerns or bugs that might arise? Regarding this inquiry, if you have any information—such as whether this scenario would result in a rejection during the app review process—we would appreciate it if you could share it with us.

Hello, I am trying to ship the first auto-renewable subscription for my iOS app and I am facing what seems to be a workflow / availability issue involving App Store Connect and TestFlight. Product ID: seka_premium_yearly_ Current situation: The subscription exists in App Store Connect. Its status remains “Waiting for Review”. The subscription page says that the first subscription must be submitted with a new app version and attached through the “In-App Purchases and Subscriptions” section on the app version page. 4. However, this section does not appear on my iOS app version page in App Store Connect. 5. In TestFlight, when tapping “Subscribe”, the app shows: “The offer is not available yet. Please try again in a moment.” Additional context: Paid Apps Agreement is active The app uses expo-iap The product ID configured in the app is seka_premium_yearly_ We are not restricting access by storefront, region, or device configuration Sandbox testing has been attempted, but the issue remains reproducible in TestFlight Question: Is it expected that the subscription is unavailable in TestFlight while the first subscription is still in “Waiting for Review”? Does the missing “In-App Purchases and Subscriptions” section on the app version page indicate an App Store Connect issue? Has anyone encountered this specific first-subscription workflow problem? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, We are facing issue with purchases on iOS 26.4. The app store receipt received is from previous transaction leading to receipt validation failures. There are some purchase success observed for pending transactions but success rate for pending transactions is also very low. We are using Unity In-App Purchasing (IAP) 4.13.0. Let us know for any more details and any fix / workaround available. Thanks.

iOS 26.4系统上，我们发现三个问题： 1.调用了finishTransaction接口，但是在App重新启动后，[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue].transactions仍然会有这笔订单。 2.支付完成后，[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]]，拿到的票据解析出来里面的商品是空的，需要延迟2秒钟左右在调用[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]]才能获取有效票据。 3.支付完成后，如果用户没有点击最后弹出的确认弹框，等待5秒钟，系统会自己回调 - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions; 代理方法。正常应该是用户点击了最后弹出的确认弹框，在回调- (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions;方法。 我们在苹果开发者论坛上面找到其他开发者反馈的类似问题，链接如下： https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/817700 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/792437?answerId=849557022#849557022 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/817834 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/817706 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818586 我们有大量用户升级到了26.4系统，这对于我们造成了巨大的困扰，我们需要你们的帮助，感谢！

We're seeing some strange behavior of the appAccountToken when passing it to a purchase in the sandbox environment. Normally we'd expect the same account token to be set on the resulting verfication, but that's not the case. Instead the token seems to be persisted on the API side and reused for some amount of time, meaning there's a mismatch and the connection between account and purchase is lost. This happens consistently even if we send new tokens on each purchase. Has there been any updates to purchase flow in the sandbox environment on Apple's side? .purchase( options: [.appAccountToken(token)] )

I'm building an app that sells non-consumable in-app purchases. I want to implement a partner/referral discount system using the following approach: Create multiple IAP products in App Store Connect for the same content at different price points (e.g. full price at €10, 10% off at €9, 20% off at €8) When a user enters a partner or referral code in the app, my backend validates the code and returns which product to present The user then completes the purchase through the standard StoreKit IAP flow — Apple processes the transaction normally at the discounted price No purchase is unlocked without going through Apple IAP. No external payment system is involved. The only difference from a standard purchase is which product SKU is shown based on a backend-validated code. My questions: Is this approach compliant with App Store guidelines? Is there any guideline that requires developers to use Apple's native Offer Codes system instead of this approach for discounted purchases? Any guidance would be appreciated before we invest in building this out.
