Hello, We're trying to implement and test offer codes in our app. We have create all the necessary items in the App Store. The app has been reviewed and approved for release. We have not published it yet. We are redeeming the offer using a URL that opens the App Store. When I redeem, the account is updated, but the app does not see the Transaction. We implemented using this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/transaction First, we used the Transaction.updates and then we added Transaction.all and neither return any Transaction. Any ideas with there are any other dependencies that are required here or recommendations for how to test?

Please help! I have a subscription IAP failing on tvOS 18.2 at: func makePurchase(_ product: Product) async throws { let result = try await product.purchase() //ERROR OCCURS HERE (See error message below) ... Xcode Console message: "Could not get confirmation scene ID for [insert my IAP id here]" The IAP subscription was working fine on 18.1 and earlier, and the same IAP and code is also running fine on iOS 18.2. The tvOS error on 18.2 happens both in production and sandbox. Are there any changes to StoreKit 2 which might cause this error?

We have a user that's shared screenshots indicating that they're the recipient of a subscription to our app through Family Sharing, but when we look for the transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements there's nothing there, even after calling AppStore.sync. Should we expect to see a transaction in current entitlements? How can we determine whether it's our bug or Apple's?

I would like to know whether and how people are getting the sandbox account > manage > clear purchase history feature to work. I clear purchase history (either on my device or at app store connect), and I delete my app from my device. I then run my app from Xcode on my device, and it detects at launch the existence of the purchase, and so I cannot test my purchase user interface. Does this thing actually work as advertised?

The following document states that some APIs in Storekit1 have been deprecated and that migration to Storekit2 is recommended, but I understand that Storekit2 only supports Swift. I'm currently creating an iPhone app in Objective-C, but is there a way to implement APIs equivalent to Storekit2 using a different Objective-C API? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18-release-notes#StoreKit

Is it possible to switch back to V1 if we find some issues? in sandbox and production. I've found conflicting answers, here is the list of answers and when were they posted: yes (not sure if only in sandbox mode), dec 2022 -> https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722115 no, aug 2024 -> https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761272 yes, nov 2024 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3180-reverting-app-store-server-notifications-v1 What is the right one? Can we get v2 notifications without enabling it? Just by using this api https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_notification_history Thanks for your time

We are facing an issue where some users send receipts with an empty 'in_app' attribute during server validation. We are using the API described here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt After a purchase, we validate the receipt on the server and call finishTransaction in the app. Most receipts are fine, but this issue affects some users. The documentation states that an empty 'in_app' attribute means no valid purchases: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/responsebody/receipt/in_app#discussion Our questions are: When is a receipt with an empty 'in_app' attribute generated? How should we handle such receipts? Thank you for your help. Best regards,

Currently, I have an app running locally on my computer, and there is also a web app. To create an account, users need to pay through the web app, which handles the payment process smoothly. My question is: Do I need to implement In-App Purchases (IAP) if the payment is only for account creation? Let me elaborate on my question. I know the typical answer is yes, but what if users in the mobile app cannot create an account or pay within the app itself? Instead, account creation is only possible via the web app, and only users who have paid outside the mobile platform can access and join the mobile app. This approach is similar to what Netflix and Spotify do – they do not allow account creation inside their mobile apps and do not provide any redirects or buttons indicating alternative payment methods (they do not have IAP).

If a user applies for and is approved for a subscription refund by Apple, we understand that the developer can receive a server notification of "REFUND." However, this notification doesn't include the refund amount. Therefore, we thought about linking the refund amount information output in the financial report "All Countries or Regions (Detailed)" with individual end-user transaction information. However, it seems that this report doesn't have a transaction ID, and the records appear to be aggregated daily. Is there any way we can find out how much was refunded to which user for individual refunds? If a user applies for a subscription refund from Apple, are there cases where only a part of the plan, rather than the full amount, is refunded?

In an application feature where users can purchase resources to enhance the exposure, visibility, or engagement of specific content (such as boosting videos, posts, or other user-generated content), the price needs to adjust dynamically based on the user-selected budget. How can this type of In-App Purchase flow be implemented in iOS Swift?

Hello everyone, I want to set up subscriptions but I'm having problems testing them. Indeed, when I use the storekit file to view the subscriptions it works, I see the subscriptions and I can subscribe in XCODE mode. However, I'd like to go further and test with server notifications. So I removed the storekit file from the scheme, but I can't retrieve the products. The application doesn't retrieve any products.. I've been stuck on it for 2 weeks... I checked the contracts and put in all the information last Friday and everything is validated. I tested it in testflight mode, and it doesn't recognize any products! Just so you know, I use the original API for maximum compatibility.

Hi, I have 6 subscriptions in a subscription group. Each subscription has 2 active promotional offers configured. One is with a 25% offer for a month and another one is a 50% offer for a month. My doubt is, can users access both promotional offers in a single subscription? Not at a time First 25% offer and then 50% offer

I am working on a paywall, and SubscriptionStoreView seems to work just fine when using the XCode environment but goes bonkers when using Sandbox. Specfically, after making a subscription, I don't get the "Your plan" flag, and the subscription buttons fail to do anything. Hitting one of those the app just sits there....mocking me with its silence. "Clear purchase history" does nothing when done either the iPhone or the Sandbox account page on the website. Nor does the subscription seem to expire after the expiration time of 3 minutes that I am using. Anyone else see this? is this similar to the TestFlight issues people had a year ago?

Hi everyone, I’m currently integrating auto-renewable subscriptions in my React Native app, and I’m encountering an issue with the StoreKit2 API. What Works I’ve successfully implemented in-app purchases, and I can purchase auto-renewable subscriptions without any issues. After the purchase, I’m receiving the following transaction details: ``{ "originalTransactionDateIOS": 1732733802000, "originalTransactionIdentifierIOS": "2000007891139879", "productId": "product.id", "transactionDate": 1732748202000, "transactionId": "2000007935522994", "transactionReceipt": "xxxxxxxxxxxxCwIBAwIBAQ" }`` The Problem When I send the transactionId to my server and call either getTransactionHistory or getTransactionInfo using the App Store Server API, I always receive an empty array as the response. Additionally, I’ve tried testing with StoreKit Testing in Xcode, but I consistently get 0 as the transactionId, which makes it impossible to verify the transactions. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I’m using a sandbox account for testing. The subscription purchase flow works, and the transactionId is successfully retrieved in the app. I’ve double-checked that the transactionId sent to the server matches the one from the app. Thanks in advance!

Starting a few months ago, we noticed that we are receiving sign-ups to our application using Sandbox accounts. These accounts were not created by us, and certainly do not show up under Sandbox users on App Store Connect. When we setup In App Payment, our server side validation followed the guidance to always allow sandbox receipts (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt). I think we assumed that only Sandbox users that we setup in App Store connect would be allowed to be used with our app. Another assumption was that Apple reviewers could create Sandbox accounts to use to test our IAP sign-up during app review. How are other developers preventing fraudulent sign-ups from sandbox accounts? Has something changed with In App Payments this year related to sandbox accounts?

I’m trying to get approval for an update to my app to transition from paid model to IAP subscription. This is my first time submitting an app with IAP. This is my current state: App submission shows rejected IAP subscriptions show "Development action needed" Localization (for all subscription plans) was showing "Rejected"; I updated (only) the review notes for each subscription plan, and now the status for the localization of each subscription is "Prepare for submission" (the status for each subscription is still "Development action needed") I'm at a loss for what needs to be done, and in what order. Sandbox testing has been working fine all along. 1 - I noticed my submitted binary was missing the "In-App Purchase" capability in Xcode (under target capabilities). Could this be the reason? Is this even needed? I am surprised that weeks of sandbox testing without the IAP capability added in Xcode has been working fine. 2- I seem to be in a chicken and egg situation, Do I need to submit localizations first for review and how? Do I need to submit the subscriptions first for review and how? It seems modified/new localizations need approved subscriptions, and new/modified subscriptions need an approved app with IAP support first, is this correct understanding? As I mentioned, in the current state, I can see the app working fine with sandbox testing Appreciate any help with step-by-step instructions to get past the review.

I'm developing storekitV2, my app is providing the way to refund some product, and I use method below. func beginRefundRequest(in scene: UIWindowScene) async throws -> Transaction.RefundRequestStatus however when i call the method, the modal view presented but the view shows error with message 'cannot connect'. when I select retry button, something done with indicator and get same result. how can I solve this problem?

I'm developing StoreKitV2 and my app provides in-app management of subscription. so I use AppStore.showManageSubscriptions method. @MainActor static func showManageSubscriptions(in scene: UIWindowScene, subscriptionGroupID: String) async throws the document(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/appstore/showmanagesubscriptions(in:subscriptiongroupid:)) says "Presents the App Store sheet for managing subscriptions for a subscription group." but actually It shows the list of subscription groups. I wanna show the list of subscription options(products) of certain subscription group directly. how can I??

Hi! Could you please clarify when and why the subscription auto-renewal rate in TestFlight was changed to a daily cycle? Now, the subscription lasts for 6 days! This is causing significant issues in testing. Previously, the 5-minute auto-renewal for weekly subscriptions was an excellent solution. Is there a way to adjust the auto-renewal timing for an account in TestFlight? Documentation link: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/test-a-beta-version/subscription-renewal-rate-in-testflight. Thank you for your clarification!

Hi, I have deployed my app on Test Flight, I have two subscriptions, monthly and yearly. User can have one of them at a time and upgrade, downgrade to the other. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel from the Apple Settings worked fine in the sandbox environment when testing locally. Now when I have deployed the app on TestFlight, I was able to purchase the subscription successfully from my app. Now when I want to cancel my subscription from the Apple Settings it gives me the following error after confirming cancellation, 'Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later.' Also the other subscription offer (yearly) is also not shown to which I could upgrade, even though in the sandbox I was able to upgrade downgrade from the settings. Another thing I have noticed is that the app Icon or name is not shown anywhere in settings with the subscription. Instead of app icon only empty square is shown. Even though app icon shows fine everywhere else. Can someone please help me figure out this issue?
