Hello Developers!
I am trying to run a test In-App Purchase (IAP) for a renewable subscription product in the sandbox environment. I have set up everything required for sandbox testing, but it’s unclear whether the subscription product needs to be pre-approved by Apple for testing.
If approval is required, I have already added the necessary metadata, but the status still shows "Ready for Submit." Additionally, when I save the page, a "Submit for Review" button briefly appears for a fraction of a second on the subscription page before disappearing.
Is this button missing, or is there a known issue with this process? This is my first time running this test, and I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am working on a Unity iOS app. I am adding in-app purchasing in my app. I have added Unity IAP to the Unity project, as well as the code for initialising and purchasing a subscription with the product ID. I have also added my certificates and provisioning profile in Xcode with in-app purchasing capabilities. Also, I have set up an App Store Connect page with a non-renewing subscription with a unique product ID and all required information. The subscription status is ready to submit. I have added a sandbox tester account in it. In unity editor, it is working fine with fake purchase receipt.
While testing in an iOS device, apple ID is logged out. But there is an error occurs everytime : IAP not initialized.
Also I have uploaded a newer version of app on app store connect, it is in waiting for review status.
Is there any step or something I am missing that it is not working in iOS device?
Please help

Sorry but I'm not good at English.
Is the originalTransactionId received for the same subscription by the same user the same in Store Kit v1 and Store Kit 2?
Also, will the originalTransactionId be the same even if the subscription price is changed?
Description:
We are developing an iOS app that offers only one auto-renewable subscription.
Recently, a user who had not subscribed for over a year purchased the subscription again through our app. However, when they checked Settings > Subscriptions, the new subscription did not appear. Instead, only their past subscription history was visible, and there was no option to cancel the new subscription. We have verified this issue with a screenshot provided by the user.
Additionally, we checked our app’s logs and confirmed that StoreKit.product.purchase successfully returned .success, indicating that the purchase was processed correctly.
Code used for purchase:
let result = try await product?
.purchase(options: [
.appAccountToken(uuid)
])
switch result {
case .success(let verificationResult):
switch verificationResult {
case .verified(let transaction):
addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.verified.")
case .unverified(_, let verificationError):
addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unverified.")
case .userCancelled, .pending, .none:
addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.userCancelled or .pending or .none")
@unknown default:
addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unknown.")
}
Despite the successful purchase, the new subscription does not appear under the user's active subscriptions. Could this be a bug in StoreKit? If there are any known issues or workarounds, we would appreciate any guidance.
Environment:
Xcode: 16.2
iOS version: 16.0+
I don't know why the subscription doesn't work in production, the message Subscription Unavailable appears. The subscription is approved in appstoreconnect.
Works normally using storekit in xcode, both signing and using subscriber features.
According to apple's guidance, first I do the test to validate https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt and then https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt.
Plus I create the app-specific shared secret and put it in the code to validate the receipts.
I have looked for several topics and I can not solve this problem. What do I need to do to make it work in production? I believe I did what's in the official documentation.
I set both production and sandbox App Store Notification server.
In sandbox, my server can receive all kinds of app store notification, including subscription and non-consumable in-app-purchase.
But in production, my server only receive subscription notification.
I can see some non-consumable in-app-purchase done in log, but the server didn't receive expected notification.
Anyone know why?
I really need the notification cause I need to know who made refund.
iOS Storekit2 Appstore production environment, some user feedback in app purchase faliure, What our log records is StoreKitError.unknown,please How to solve problem, thanks

I'm working on adding a single Non-Consumable In-App purchase to my app. Essentially a "try before you buy" type thing. Limited functionality unless the app is purchased.
I am currently testing this using Xcode and the Manage StoreKit Transactions window. So far most everything appears to be working except for declined pending transactions.
If I set Ask to Buy to Enabled, the Ask Permission (for parent or guardian) dialog appears. After pressing the Ask button, I see a transaction listed as Pending Approval. If I Approve the transaction, then my app is notified and all is well.
However, if I Decline the transaction then my app is not notified. Is that normal?
Also, how do I (i.e. the app) know that there is a pending transaction?

I keep getting this error:
Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.visuallearningaids.craftshowtracker0320" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement.
I've made several different identifiers and profiles.
Thanks

Dear Apple Support Team,
Hello!
I am currently developing the in-app subscription functionality using Apple IAP API and have encountered a serious technical issue while processing subscription data. I would like to report this issue to you.
Issue Description:
When calling the subscription API endpoint, the same OriginalTransactionId returns inconsistent results. Specifically, a particular transaction ID (let's call it TransactionId_A) should belong to the subscription order with OriginalTransactionId_A, but it is currently incorrectly associated with OriginalTransactionId_B. This issue severely affects our ability to accurately manage and process subscription data.
Here are the relevant log details for your reference:
API Endpoint Requested:
https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/subscriptions/{TransactionId_A}
(Note: The link is a placeholder for the actual API endpoint.)

}
From the above logs, it is evident that the same transaction (TransactionId_A) returns different OriginalTransactionId values at different times, which is clearly not expected and severely impacts our ability to correctly process and manage subscription data.
I hope you can address and investigate this issue as soon as possible. If you need any further information or assistance, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your support!
Best regards!

I ran into a problem. When using Storekit1 to purchase an SKU, the user payment was successful, but StoreKit1 did return paymentCancelled to my App. I would like to know under what circumstances this problem may occur? How do I fix it? Thank you
While testing an inapp purchase, if you purchase the same product twice from an account that does not have testflight permissions for the project and only has sandbox permissions, the second payment will receive the same transactionId as the first.
Why is that so? I know transactionID is unique.
Hi, I've migrated my app to another developer account more than half a year ago, but I'm still receiving a few transaction payments in the old developer account, which currently has no app.
The payment date shown in the report is last month.
I'm wondering how could this happen. Is it possible for users to initiate a transaction half a year ago and only successfully pay it now?
Hi All,
We are developing our app with an approved External Link Account Entitlement.
During the development process (such as installing from Xcode or creating an Ad-hoc build and installing it on a phone), the open() function of the External Link Account API displays the modal our native language. The app only localized to that language.
However, after uploading the app with the same configuration to TestFlight, the modal somehow appears in English instead.
What could be causing this issue with the External Link Account modal? How can the open() function display the modal in another language when installed from Xcode or an Ad-hoc release build, but in English when installed from TestFlight? How can we show only our native lanugage version only to our Users?
Thank you in advance
Hi, I'm wondering if an in-app purchase is already made, but my app has not yet call finishTransaction(_:). Would that transaction be settled to me? Or do I only receive payment after the transaction is marked as 'finish' via storekit?
Hey guys, I am developing a habit tracker app right now. I know it's basic but it's my first app and I wanted an easy start but this is more of a struggle than I thought. So I am trying to publish my app fully on the App Store however everytime I do there is some kind of bug with it. But when I test it, it works perfect for me. Anyways, in this case the reviewer said when they go to the pro page of my app to purchase a pro subscription and try to press upgrade to pro nothing pops up. It pops up normally for me on my iPhone but not other devices. I wanted to make sure if this was normal or if there is something I am supposed to fix. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
when I have not verified payment method and we choose UPI then pop up shows Purchase In Progress and it shows notification for UPI app payment for apps like Gpay, Paytm. But when we approve or decline this payment StoreKit methods not called for success or failure and we have to kill app to refetch the status and stop the loader.
I have a renewing monthly subscription in my app and recently added upgrade possibilities to yearly and 6 month subscriptions. Those new subscriptions were reviewed, approved and published to App Store.
I'm showing a modal for users in the app from where they can upgrade their subscription. Upgrading was tested with real devices on Sandbox and TestFlight. There has been successful purchases through the in app modal in production app, and directly upgrading from App Store.
However, for some users there seems to happen a failed transaction with paymentCancelled error code during the upgrade. The IAP is still successful, their subscription is upgraded and they haven't voluntarily canceled the IAP. The localized description of the error is "Toimintoa ei voitu suorittaa. (Virhe 2 kohteessa SKErrorDomain.)" which translates to "The operation could not be completed. (Error 2 in SKErrorDomain.)"
These users have various iPhones (iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro) with up to date iOS versions (>= 18.3.1).
I'm receiving DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF (UPGRADE) server notification of these purchases on my server.
I haven't been able to reproduce this error myself.
Any ideas why StoreKit might fail the transaction with paymentCancelled error but still successfully upgrade the subscription?
