Hi, I have a couple of questions in regards to testing in-app purchases. I tested the subscription on a device but I'm not sure how to reset so I can test again. I didn't see the subscription in device settings or in Debug -> StoreKit -> Manage Subscriptions window. Additionally, I was wondering if there was a way to detect the subscription being made. I implemented this, but I'm not sure if that will work: .onChange(of: Product.SubscriptionInfo.RenewalState.subscribed) { if Product.SubscriptionInfo.RenewalState.subscribed == .subscribed { } }

I want to add in-app purchasing to my app, but I can't figure out what part of my workflow is wrong. I created a product for my app in iTunes Connect (the product ID is com.mycompany.products.***) and it's in "Ready to submit" status. I created a sandbox test user for this app. I connected to iTunes on a real device using the sandbox AppleID. I went back to XCode and added in-app purchasing to my app. I turned on developer mode on the real device and logged in as the sandbox user. I built the app and ran it on a real device (not the simulator). I tried to get product information (com.mycompany.products.***) but nothing was returned. In-app purchasing is registered in App Store Connect and the status is "Ready to submit". The code only retrieves product information in a simple way, so I don't think there's a problem. inAppPurchase.getProducts(["com.mycompany.products.***"]).then(console.log).catch(console.error); But it only returns an empty array. What could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, Since updating to iOS 26 Beta 3, I’ve been experiencing an issue where transactions purchased through the normal in-app purchase flow continue to be reported as updated and unfinished—even after calling the finish() function. Please resolve this promptly.

I'm encountering an issue with the App Store Server API where the appAccountToken is not preserved when users migrate their Apple ID email addresses. I've submitted Feedback Assistant ticket FB18709241 but wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this and get community input on best practices. The Issue When a user migrates their Apple ID from one email to another (e.g., from olduser@example.com to newuser@icloud.com), the App Store creates a new subscription transaction with a different originalTransactionId, but the appAccountToken is not carried forward from the original transaction. What I'm Seeing note: these values are fake When querying /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{originalTransactionId} with the either post-migration transaction ID or the pre-migration transaction ID, the API returns both transactions: Pre-migration transaction (status: 2 - inactive): originalTransactionId: "12345678910111" Contains: "appAccountToken": "abc123-def456-ghi789" Post-migration transaction (status: 1 - active): originalTransactionId: "67891011121314" Missing: appAccountToken entirely The Problem The appAccountToken is our only way to link App Store subscriptions to user accounts. Without it on the new transaction: Users lose access to premium features despite having valid subscriptions Server-side renewal notifications can't be matched to user accounts Manual support intervention is required for each affected user Questions for the Community Has anyone else encountered this issue with Apple ID migrations? What's the recommended approach for handling this scenario? Is there an alternative mechanism to maintain the subscription-to-user linkage across migrations? Questions for Apple Engineers Is this the expected behavior, or should the appAccountToken be preserved? Are there any planned improvements to handle this migration scenario? What's the best practice for developers to handle this case? Interestingly, both the old and new transaction IDs return the same JSON response from the App Store Server API, suggesting Apple maintains internal linkage between these transactions, but the appAccountToken isn't carried forward to the active transaction. Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!! Feedback Assistant: FB18709241

We are running into exceptions when trying to parse Purchase Date and Original Purchase Date from the base64 encoded receipt. Expected RFC 3339 format of ASN.1 Field Value is: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ but we end up getting back 2025-04-22T19.49.03Z. Started to happen on 3rd Dec 2024.

Hello, i am having issues getting my iOS app through review. The problem seems to be that the reviewer is never able to purchase my IAP. The app has a non-consumable IAP that unlocks premium game features. however, I have not been able to able to reproduce. The IAP works for me in Xcode testing, as well as Sandbox (TestFlight) I had heard initially the problem was that I submitted the IAP for review alone, instead of having it auto submit with the app itself. but in my latest submission, I actually deleted and recreated the IAP, and allowed it to be auto submitted along with the app itself. again, all local and sandbox testing is successful, but the app reviewer sees an carrot stating that the product could not Be loaded from the App Store. i built the app using Capacitor, and am using revenue cat. does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong? Thank you

Hello, Thank you for attending today’s Metal & game technologies group lab at WWDC25! We were delighted to answer many questions from developers and energized by the community engagement. We hope you enjoyed it and welcome your feedback. We invite you to carry on the conversation here, particularly if your question appeared in Slido and we were unable to answer it during the lab. If your question received feedback let us know if you need clarification. You may want to ask your question again in a different lab e.g. visionOS tomorrow. (We realize that this can be confusing when frameworks interoperate) We have a lot to learn from each other so let’s get to Q&A and make the best of WWDC25! 😃 Looking forward to your questions posted in new threads.

A purchase can result in success with verificationResult .unverified. Is there a list of reasons for which the transaction might be unverified and how should i handle it in my app? From my understanding, a successful unverified transaction means the user has already paid for the purchase. So, do i just ignore the unverified transaction or do i provide content to the user anyways?

I've been implementing in app purchases into an existing C++ app. I'm using the latest Swift StoreKit since the old ObjC interface is deprecated . There is a really weird problem where the swift/C++ bridging seems to get into a loop. After the Product structure is retrieved I have the following structure which I use to bridge to C++ public struct storeData { public var id : String public var displayName : String public var description : String public var price : String public var purchased : Bool = false public var level : Int = 0 } and this is passed back to the caller as follows public func getProducts (bridge : StoreBridge) -> [storeData] { bridge.products.sort { $0.price > $1.price } var productList : [storeData] = [] for product in bridge.products { let data : storeData = storeData(id: product.id, displayName: product.displayName, description: product.description, price: product.displayPrice, purchased: bridge.purchasedProductIds.contains(product.id) ) productList.append(data) } return productList } the "bridge" variable is a bridging class where the guts of the bridge resides, and contains the "products" array as a publishable variable. In the C++ code the data is retrieved by outProd->id = String(inProd.getId()); outProd->displayName = String(inProd.getDisplayName()); outProd->description = String(inProd.getDescription()); outProd->price = String(String(inProd.getPrice())); outProd->purchased = inProd.getPurchased(); The "String" is actually a JUCE string but that's not part of the problem. Testing this with a local StoreKit config file works fine but when I test with a sandbox AppStore the app hangs. Very specifically it hangs somewhere in the Swift thunk when retrieving the price. When I remove the line to retrieve the price everything works. And - and this is the weird bit - when I pad the price out with some random text, it now starts working (so I have a workaround). This is, however, slightly worrying behaviour. Ideas?

Some paid users are unable to use the paid features unlocked by purchasing our subscription plan. It seems that this is due to StoreKit 2's Transaction.currentEntitlements not working the way we would expect it to work. Are you also encountering this issue? Do you have any idea to improve this situation? At launch, our app checks if the user is subscribed to the plan, using Transaction.currentEntitlements. As a result, the currentEntitlements array was empty. Our app then fetches the products from StoreKit 2 using Product.products(for:). As a result, the Product.SubscriptionInfo.RenewalState value of the corresponding Product (product.subscription.status.first.state) is subscribed, which confirms that the user has indeed purchased our plan, but seems to contradict the absence of the corresponding transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements. Proactive in-app purchase restore and a restore purchase button calling the AppStore.sync() method are implemented, but using the button did not solve the issue.

On an app that was using the old API for In-App Purchases (StoreKit 1). The app is already published on the App Store. The purchase is non-consumable. While trying to migrate to StoreKit 2, I'm unable to restore purchases. Specifically displaying and purchasing products works as expected, but when deleting and reinstalling the app, and then trying to restore purchases I can't do it. I'm trying to restore them using the new APIs but it doesn't seem to be working. What I have tried so far: I'm listening for transaction updates during the whole lifetime of the app, with: Task.detached { for await result in Transaction.updates { if case let .verified(safe) = result { } } } I have a button that calls this method, but other than prompting to log in again with the Apple ID it doesn't seem to have any effect at all: try? await AppStore.sync() This doesn't return any item for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case let .verified(transaction) = result { } } This doesn't return any item for await result in Transaction.all { if case let .verified(transaction) = result { } } As mentioned before I'm trying this after purchasing the item and deleting the app. So I'm sure it should be able to restore the purchase. Am trying this both with a Configuration.storekit file on the simulator, and without it on a real device, in the Sandbox Environment. Has anyone being able to restore purchases using StoreKit 2? PD: I already filed a feedback report on Feedback Assistant, but so far the only thing that they have replied is: Because StoreKit Testing in Xcode is a local environment, and the data is tied to the app, when you delete the app you're also deleting all the transaction data for that app in the Xcode environment. The code snippets provided are correct usage of the API. So yes, using a Configuration.storekit file won't work on restoring purchases, but if I can't restore them on the Sandbox Environment I'm afraid that this won't work once released, leaving my users totally unable to restore what they have already purchased.

Hi there 👋🏻 We are facing an issue that started on 24 June 2025 where some users that have an active subscription with an offer are not being able to use/restore their subscription since Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty. We have tried to call the server with this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-history and it's returning the correct transactions correctly. Any idea what is happening?

I Implement a 'SubscriptionStoreView' using 'groupID' into a project (iOS is targeting 17.2 and macOS is targeting 14.1).Build/run the application locally (both production and development environments will work fine), however once the application is live on the AppStore in AppStoreConnect, SubscriptionStoreView no longer shows products and only shows 'Subscription Unavailable' and 'The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront.' - this message is shown live in production for both iOS and macOS targets. There is no log messages shown in the Console that indicate anything going wrong with StoreKit 2, but I haven't made any changes to my code and noticed this first start appearing about 5 days ago. I expect the subscription store to be visible to all users and for my products to display. My application is live on both the iOS and macOS AppStores, it passed App Review and I have users who have previously been able to subscribe and use my application, I have not pushed any new changes, so something has changed in StoreKit2 which is causing unexpected behaviour and for this error message to display. As 'SubscriptionStoreView' is a view provided by Apple, I'm really not sure on the pathway forward other than going back to StoreKit1 which I really don't want to do. Is there any further error information that can be provided on what might be causing this and how I can fix it? (I have created a feedback ticket FB13658521)

Hi everyone, I’m seeing a consistent one-day discrepancy between the expiresDate returned by the App Store Server API and the “Expires on” date shown in the iOS Settings / App Store subscription list. I’d like to confirm whether this behavior is expected or if I’m misunderstanding the way Apple rounds dates. Reproduction steps Step Action Result 1 Purchase a 1-month auto-renewable subscription on 23 June 2025 14:00 JST (UTC+9) Transaction succeeds 2 Immediately fetch the transaction with GET /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{transactionId} Response contains "expiresDate": "2025-07-23T05:00:00Z" (= 23 July 2025 14:00 JST) 3 On the same device open Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions (or App Store › Account › Subscriptions) UI shows Expires on: 22 July 2025 The same happens for every monthly renewal and on multiple devices. Region is Japan, device time zone Asia/Tokyo. What I understand so far (and my hypothesis) Apple’s docs say a monthly subscription renews “on the same calendar date” of the next month, so renewal in this example is 23 July. If the renewal is scheduled for 23 July at 14:00 JST, the subscription is fully usable until the end of 22 July in calendar terms, because the new billing period starts the moment the 23rd begins in Apple’s canonical time zone. Therefore, it might be intentional for the UI to display 22 July—i.e., “you can keep using it through the 22nd; on the 23rd it renews.” This hypothesis makes sense internally, yet it still looks confusing to end users who read “Expires on 22 July” and assume access ends at 00:00 on the 22nd, a whole day earlier than in reality. Questions Is showing the day before the renewal date the official/expected behavior? If so, could Apple clarify that the “Expires on” label represents the last full calendar day rather than the exact expiry timestamp? Which value should we surface in-app when telling users “Your subscription is valid until …”? The server’s expiresDate (precise to the second, converted to user time zone), or A UI-style date that’s one day earlier, matching Settings / App Store? Does Apple have a public document describing this rounding/visual convention? Have other developers encountered user confusion about the apparent 1-day “shortening” and, if so, how did you word your in-app messaging? Any insight from Apple engineers or fellow developers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Apple Developer Support team, I would like to request an official confirmation regarding the handling of transaction status in the App Store Server API, specifically for the GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} endpoint. As per our current understanding from the official documentation (Get Transaction Info), the API’s behavior appears to be: If a transaction is finalized and successfully processed by App Store, querying this API will return HTTP 200 OK along with transaction details. If a transaction is still in a pending or deferred state (such as awaiting Ask to Buy approval or pending authorization), the API will not return a 200, and instead respond with HTTP 404 Not Found or an appropriate error. Could you please confirm if this behavior is accurate and officially supported? Specifically: Does a 200 OK response guarantee that a transaction is finalized and successfully recorded on App Store servers? In cases where a transaction is pending approval (e.g. Ask to Buy), is it correct that GET /transactions/{transactionId} would return 404 Not Found until the transaction is finalized? We would greatly appreciate your confirmation to align our server-side logic for transaction validation accordingly. Thank you very much for your support! Kind regards, cuongnx

It seems as though using any initializer of SubscriptionOfferView or StoreView will create a memory leak. This can be simply reproduced by adding this to your SwiftUI view: SubscriptionOfferView(groupID: "yourgroupID", visibleRelationship: .all, useAppIcon: true) or StoreView(ids: ["monthly", "yearly"]) Tested on iOS 26 beta 2

So from the documentation of apple for implementing the in app review feature we can't test it without releasing our app to App Store since in test flight it doesn't approve the api call is there a way to test it where we can check if the rating or review entered is visible on a console so that we can test the end to end work flow? this happens in android in internal test track? is there any provision for this in iOS?

I changed my AppleID password. Now for any app distributed via TestFlight the call to AppTransaction.shared throws "Unable to Complete Request". This only happens for this one ID, and only when distributed via TestFlight. I have tried different apps and devices, all with the same result.

I has sandbox account with Japanese local. When i build app directly to check, price is displayed in Japanese Currency. But when I install app from the Test Flight, price is always displayed in USD Currency. the issue is appear in iOS 18.5 How can i fix this issue ?

Hi everyone, I'm encountering a persistent issue with App Store Connect and hoping someone has seen this before or can advise. I have an approved in-app purchase (product ID: inspo_credits_10), and everything is correctly configured: The IAP is Approved and Ready for Sale The capability is enabled in both the Apple Developer portal and Xcode My app uses StoreKit correctly (Product.products(for:)) I’ve uploaded multiple builds (latest: version 1.3.8, build 3) The problem: When preparing the version (1.3.8) in App Store Connect, the “In-App Purchases” section does not appear at all — so I can’t attach the IAP to the version or submit it for review. I've tried: Re-uploading builds Creating new versions (1.3.9, 1.4.0…) Re-enabling the IAP capability Confirming that StoreKit is properly integrated Waiting multiple days for propagation Even creating new IAPs Still, the IAP section doesn’t appear when editing the version. Apple support responded, but directed me to Developer Technical Support without offering a fix or escalation path. Has anyone experienced this before — an approved IAP that doesn't show up in App Store Connect’s version editor? Is there a way to force a refresh or escalate this internally? Would appreciate any advice or direction!
