The question is related to getting rejected by Apple when the app does only have Subscriptions but no In-App Purchases. My understanding is that an in-app purchase is consumable or non-consumable as that's how the UI on appstoreconnect shows it. My app has 3 tier subscription, paid monthly, and that's it. But "We are unable to complete the review of the app because one or more of the in-app purchase products have not been submitted for review." Which I have none?

Strange issue with currency display in subscription products Hi everyone, I'm facing a strange issue in my app where I use a subscription-based in-app purchase model. The products I created in App Store Connect are all in "Approved" status. I've tested with both RevenueCat and StoreKit, but the result is the same. Here are the products being loaded: Product loaded: weekly_product_id Display name: Weekly Pro Description: Weekly Pro Subscription Price: ₺229,99 Product loaded: annual_product_id Display name: Annual Pro Description: Annual Pro Subscription Price: ₺1.799,99 Even though I can see the correct prices and currency (Turkish Lira) in the Xcode debug console, on my real device the currency appears as Philippine Peso, as shown in the attached screenshot. Interestingly, in the iOS simulator, it's displayed in USD. I've double-checked and my device's region settings are set to Turkey. Any ideas on what could be causing this? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = transaction_id found in receipt_data.latest_receipt_info The two values are different, but they differ only by 1. Additional observation The original_transaction_id for A and A' is identical, which suggests that both transaction IDs belong to the same subscription purchase chain. Pattern observation on the ID difference We have observed that the difference between A and A' is consistently exactly 1 (i.e., A' = A + 1) across multiple transactions, not just a single case. This appears to be a reproducible pattern rather than a coincidence. This observation raises an additional question (Question 6 below). API verification When calling: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Both A and A' return what appears to be the same purchase record. The response data is effectively identical except for the transactionId field. However, when calling: GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId} A does not appear in the transaction history only A' appears in the history response Questions If A does not appear in transaction history, where does this transaction ID originate from? Why does Get Transaction Info (/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}) return a valid response for A even though it is not present in the transaction history? Why do A and A' both resolve to what appears to be the same purchase? In this situation, which transaction ID should be treated as the canonical transaction ID for server-side validation? Is this difference related to how StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) and the App Store Server API represent transactions? Is the consistent off-by-one difference between the transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction and the one recorded in latest_receipt_info an intentional behavior of StoreKit 1's internal transaction ID assignment? Specifically, we are wondering whether StoreKit 1 applies some form of internal offset when delivering the transaction ID to the client, while the App Store server records a different (adjacent) ID in the receipt. If so, is this documented anywhere? Note We are currently in the process of migrating to StoreKit 2, but this behavior was observed while investigating our existing StoreKit 1 implementation. Any clarification would help us better understand the correct transaction model during the migration.

I’m testing an auto-renewable subscription on TestFlight. Now the user can't re-purchase the same product – Apple just restores the old (expired) one, and no payment sheet appears. How can I let the same TestFlight user re-subscribe to an expired product? Do I have to create a new productId for every test cycle?

We are launching a new app with a subscription in-app purchase (IAP). The Status of the IAP is "Waiting for Review". We want to submit the app to app for review, but the section to select an IAP with the app is not appearing. According to online sources, if we submit a new app for review, without selecting the IAP that goes with it, then the app may be released in the App Store without users being able to purchase the IAP. This actually happened to us years ago and I can't remember how we got around it, but it was painful. It seems strange that Apple would allow this problem to persist for years. Why not just hire an intern to fix it? Maybe because they are too busy running around in circles at the new spaceship headquarters. Regardless, our IAP has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" status for a while now and I'm concerned it may never be approved. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey y'all, I'm reaching out because of an observed issue that I am experience both in sandbox and in production environments. This issue does not occur when using the Local StoreKit configurations. For context, my app only implements auto-renewing subscriptions. I'm trying to track with my own analytics every time a successful purchase is made, whether in the app or externally through Subscription Settings. I'm seeming too many events for just one purchase. My app is observing Transaction.updates. When I make a purchase with Product.purchase(_:), I successfully handle the purchase result. After a few seconds, I receive 2-3 new transactions in my Transaction.updates, even though I already handled and finished the Purchase result. The transactions seem to have the same transactionId, and values such as revocationDate, expirationDate, and isUpgraded don't seem to change between any of them. For purchases made outside the app, I get the same issue. Transaction gets handled in updates several times. Note that this is not an issue if a subscription renews. I use `Transaction.reason

Hello, I'm trying to submit my first auto-renewable subscription for my app, but it shows "Missing Metadata" status and I cannot identify which field is incomplete. What I've completed: ✅ Product ID and Display Name ✅ Description ✅ Price: $4.99/month for 175 countries ✅ Duration: 1 month ✅ Localization (English): Display name and description filled ✅ Review Screenshot uploaded ✅ Review Notes provided ✅ Tax Category set ✅ Paid Apps Agreement signed and active ✅ Banking and tax info complete Common issues I've already checked: ✅ Subscription is part of a subscription group (Premium Features) ✅ At least one pricing tier is configured ✅ Localization has both display name AND description ✅ Review screenshot is provided ✅ Paid Apps Agreement is active (not pending) The Problem: Subscription status: "Missing Metadata" Localization status: "Prepare for Submission" Need it to show "Ready to Submit" to include with my app My Question: What field am I missing? I've checked all visible fields but the status won't change from "Missing Metadata" to "Ready to Submit". Has anyone successfully resolved this? Thanks!

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?

one of my app users cancelled the subscription from settings. After that, she tried to buy the subscription from app which she could not as I receive same transaction id and previous exp date.

revenuecat is asking for the in app subscriptions to be approved first in order for the pay wall to display and function properly, but apple support keeps flagging them as "developer action needed" and complaining that they can't access in app subscriptions. what do I do?

Hello, I'm receiving error StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform. I have user in SandBox, that user is logged on physical device, I have correct bundleID. Product is Approved I tested via StoreKit configuration file and that worked just fine. also tried to build app and push to test flight, this way same error. Any recommendations what I can check ? Thanks

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: the user is charged the subscription exists in Apple ID but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

New subscriptions have been failing to renew in the sandbox for 3 days. I am seeing multiple posts and comments from people that appear to be experiencing the same issue. But I haven't seen any feedback from Apple representatives. I really do not want to launch a new app without seeing functioning renewals in the sandbox. Is there somewhere else we are intended to seek assistance?

Hello, In my iOS app, I have a customer center where the user can see some details about its current subscription. I display things like the billing period, the price, the introductory offer state, the renewal date if it's not cancelled or the expiration date if it's cancelled, etc. From this screen, the user can open the subscription management sheet. I want to detect if the user cancels the subscription from this sheet or from the App Store (when the app is running) so I can refresh the information displayed on my customer center. I checked the asynchronous sequences provided by StoreKit 2 like Transaction.updates or Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates and tested with a Sandbox account on my physical device with the app debugged using Xcode. But I noticed these sequences don't emit when I cancel the subscription in Sandbox. Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way to observe in real time if a user cancels the subscription? I can still manually check when the sheet is dismissed but it's not ideal because I want to know even if the user cancel from outside of the app with the app running. Thank you, Axel

I built a TestFlight version of my unpublished app. While using it, I wanted to test out the subscription purchase and when I did, I used my real production Apple ID and not a Sandbox test account to purchase the subscription. I was surprised to see that it worked and I was able to use the test subscription in the app. However, I now have no way of canceling it. It has renewed every day at the same time due to the accelerated TestFlight subscription rate (it's a monthly sub). I read that it should stop auto-renewing after the 6th time, but I believe it's been over a week now and it still hasn't cancelled. I understand that it's not a real purchase, but I would still like to cancel it so I can try it without the purchase again using this account and also use it with a different Sandbox account. Can someone help me with canceling it? Since the account I used was not a Sandbox account, I can't just clear the purchase history in App Store Connect. Also, I can't go into my personal account settings to remove the subscription since it's not a production one.

Hello, Our app is approved for the Advanced Commerce API and we are currently testing in the Sandbox environment only. We have created generic product identifiers and have already submitted them via the Advanced Commerce API Access form. However, the generic product status in App Store Connect is still “Ready to Submit.” For Sandbox testing, is this status expected, or do we need to submit an app build or the generic product for review before Advanced Commerce works correctly? Thank you.

Hi, My app VITTRA has been approved and is live on the App Store. also i have already pushed even another update …However, I submitted two in-app purchases along with the app: 1. VITTRA Pro (Non-Consumable) — Status: “In Review” 2. AI Scan Pack (Consumable) — Status: “Waiting for Review” The app binary was approved and distributed, but the IAPs are still under review. My app’s core functionality depends on these purchases being available to users. A few questions: 1. Is it normal for IAPs to remain in review after the app itself has been approved and distributed? 2. Is there an expected timeline for IAP reviews when submitted alongside a new app? 3. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process, or should I just wait? Any guidance would be appreciated. Its a real frustrating situation and there is not a single response from the support. Thanks!

Hello, I’m writing this here because I’m honestly stuck and unable to reach anyone through official support channels. Order Number: W1466057949 Order Date: 18/02/2026 Case ID: 102824542025 My payment was successfully approved and processed by my bank. The amount has been fully charged. However, my Apple Developer account has still not been activated. I opened a support ticket immediately after noticing the issue. It has now been 6 days, and I have received absolutely no response. There is no active support in Turkey for this issue. When I try calling the Ireland support number, I can only reach an automated system — there is no way to speak to a real person. I currently have no direct contact channel to resolve this. This situation is blocking my development work and causing serious delays. I have completed my payment in good faith, yet I cannot access the service I paid for, and I cannot reach anyone for assistance. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or knows how to escalate this properly, I would greatly appreciate guidance. Thank you.

I am unable to sign in to a Sandbox Apple Account, where this issue occurs only via Simulator. Under Settings > Developer, I tap "Sign In" under Sandbox Apple Account. I enter my account credentials, and after bringing me back to the Developer page, the Sign In button briefly appears as disabled, before being re-enabled, without signing in to the account. (The account credentials are also recognized as correct, as I will receive an alert popup if incorrect.) See screenshots below: After signing in, Sign In button appears disabled... ... then is re-enabled without actually signing in to the account. I have now tried setting up multiple sandbox accounts via App Store Connect with various permutations (no confirmation of Apple Account email, confirming Apple Account email, logging in to iCloud and accepting terms of service), running different device simulators, running simulators on different Mac computers... none of which yield a different result. By contrast, I can sign in to the Sandbox Apple Account without issue on a physical device. The problem occurs only via Simulator.
