Hello, I have a problem with a subscription: it is not recognised by my application (under TestFlight); it is as if it did not exist. I have two subscriptions in the same group, a premium subscription that works perfectly and a basic subscription that is not recognised. I have checked everything at least twenty times. Its status is ‘Ready to submit’. I asked GPT 5.1 and Claude AI, but clearly both of their AIs are out of date and are giving me an obsolete procedure with App Store Connect options that don't exist.

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with In-App Purchases during App Review. What works My consumable IAP products load correctly using StoreKit2. TestFlight (sandbox) purchases work perfectly. Localizations are filled in and valid. Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax forms are active. IAP products are properly created in App Store Connect and marked as “Developer Action Needed” only because they wait for approval with the new binary. What fails During review I received: “We found that your in-app purchase products exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, we were not able to complete a purchase.” They didn’t provide any more technical details. Additional context The StoreKit configuration file is not included in the app archive. Product identifiers perfectly match those in App Store Connect. StoreKit2 purchase() works as expected on TestFlight. The app does not use server-side receipt validation - purchases are handled purely through StoreKit2 APIs, as recommended. My questions What could cause a situation where TestFlight purchases work but App Review cannot complete a purchase? Does Apple expect server-side receipt validation even for simple one-time consumables? Could there be a delay or sync issue causing IAP products to not be available to the reviewer yet? Is there anything I should check on the App Store Connect side beyond what I already verified? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated - I’m stuck because everything works in sandbox but fails only for reviewers. Thanks!

Hi there, I have a plan of creating another app in the same niche, but I would like the actual subscribers to have access to the new app. So the subscribers of App 1 don't need to subscribe to App 2. Is that possible? Thanks Pedro M.R. Gregorio

Dear App Store Engineering Team, I am writing to request official confirmation regarding the behavior of App Store Server Notifications when migrating a live application from V1 to V2. Context: Our application has been live since 2008 and currently utilizes App Store Server Notifications V1. We have a large database of existing legacy subscribers. We are preparing to switch our Production environment setting in App Store Connect from "Version 1" to "Version 2". Our Questions: When we change the setting in App Store Connect to Version 2: Global Format Switch: Does this setting apply immediately to ALL notifications, including those triggered by subscriptions that originated years ago (legacy users)? Payload Consistency: Will renewals for existing legacy subscriptions continue to arrive in the JSON V1 format, or will they immediately start arriving in the V2 JWS (signedPayload) format? Our expectation is that the switch is global and all future notifications (regardless of subscription age) will be sent as V2 JWS payloads, but we require official confirmation to ensure our backend handles the migration without service interruption. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there! Whenever I try to add a new Offer Code for my app's subscription, I get an unknown error. When I get to the last step of the "Create Offer for Codes" flow, I get an error that error reads "An error has occurred. Try again later." I have been getting this same error for over a week now, so any help figuring out how to add new offer codes would be greatly appreciated!

As a developer I have a question I would like cleared up. We offer two tiers of annual subscriptions in our apps. These subscriptions are under the same subscription group in App Store connect. My question is, if a user purchases tier 1 of the annual subscription for $10.00, and uses it for 6 months; then chooses to upgrade to tier 2 which costs $20.00 per year. Would the user be pro-rated the difference in price i.e. charge only another $10.00 at the time of the upgrade., or are they charged $20.00 and then refunded the difference in their remaining lower tier subscription? I keep finding inconsistent answers across the Apple community forums on this.

I have an iOS and iPadOS app that also runs on macOS Catalyst. The user is able to view their subscription using the SubscriptionStoreView with two SubscriptionOptionGroups. The documentation does not mention these are supported on macOS Catalyst and the app crashes when attempting to show the SubscriptionStoreView on macOS Catalyst. If not supported, how can the user manage their subscription on macOS?

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I hope you are doing well. We are reaching out to request clarification and guidance regarding the In-App Purchase (IAP) requirements for our upcoming iOS application. Our app offers paid access to digital video content. Each video has a dynamic price determined by our backend based on multiple factors (such as duration, category, and promotions). Additionally, users are allowed to select and purchase multiple videos at the same time, which results in a combined total price that varies per transaction. Challenges we face with IAP on iOS Dynamic pricing: Apple requires IAP products to have static pricing defined in App Store Connect. Our video prices change frequently and cannot be represented by fixed IAP product SKUs. Multiple-item purchases: iOS does not support a single purchase that includes multiple different IAP products. Processing many separate IAP transactions in sequence results in a poor user experience and is likely to cause failures. Product creation limitations: Since our catalog contains many videos with frequently changing prices, it is not feasible to create individual IAP products per video. Given these restrictions, we are unclear how to remain compliant while still providing a functional purchase flow for our users. Question In this scenario, where: video prices are dynamic, users may purchase multiple videos together, and IAP does not support multi-item purchases or dynamic pricing, are we allowed to use Stripe or another external payment provider to handle these purchases? If not, we would appreciate Apple’s guidance on what the recommended and compliant approach would be for apps that must price digital content dynamically and allow bulk purchasing. We want to ensure full compliance with App Store Review Guidelines and would like confirmation on the correct implementation strategy before proceeding. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to your clarification. Kind regards, Muhammad Adnan Koderlabs

Hello — quick question about App Store Server Notifications migration. We have a live app using Production V1 notifications for recurring in-app subscriptions. We plan to switch the Production webhook to V2. After the switch: Will notifications for existing subscriptions be delivered in V1 format, V2 format, or will it depend (e.g., queued V1 retries vs new V2 deliveries)? If V1 retries are queued, how long should we expect overlap/retries to continue? Any recommended cutover best practices (support both formats, revert process, etc.)? Happy to share additional details. Thanks.

StoreKit ask to buy should have more data in pending state. When user try to purchase ask to buy, we should get at least transactionID, product itself, and time that user start the request. So we can keep track of the whole transaction flow jwsRepresentation should always available for every state, actually even failing state. And should attach state inside of it. Instead of only available after verified purchase. So we can use transactionID and everything relate to transaction for both waiting for purchase and clearing up the cancel or invalid purchase Currently we only have jwsRepresentation after complete purchase, which is very limited its usage

We feel like we're at the end of the long and treacherous process of migrating to StoreKit2. But we've hit a small snag. When testing in the sandbox environment, we've found that if we don't finish a transactions, no subsequent purchase (invoked via call to purchase or the other purchase) will produce the confirmation sheet. Is this the expected behavior? The behavior is observed on iOS26 and 18. Our app will only attempt to finish the transaction if it successfully uploads the receipt to our API. If it fails to do so for whatever reason, the transaction is left unfinished. Whilst the user is informed about this, users will commonly try again. Our concern is that since the confirmation sheet will not be shown again, users will not know they are actually paying again - most certainly not the UX we want to have. We'd much rather have our users be fully aware when they're paying us money. The reason we're choosing not to finish the transaction until our backend has received it and confirmed the receipt to be valid is that the only way the user can get their product is if the server side is aware of this and add more time to the users account. When finishing the transaction via finish immediately after the purchase() call, the confirmation sheet is shown every time after subsequent calls to purchase(). Again, is this the expected behavior both in the sandbox and the production environments? Are we doing something wrong or misusing the product API? We are somewhat stumped because technically, we could get the first confirmation for a product purchase, and then finish it only after an arbitrary amount of calls to purchase() have been made - the user will believe they will have paid only once, but we will receive however much money we can drain from their account - most certainly not the kind of app we want to develop. Please advise and best regards, Emīls

最近我们有个应用要对接App 内购买项目，有什么好的资料或者demo提供一下吗？

I would like to inquire about the originalTransactionId of StoreKit2. Users who purchase auto-renewal subscription products To re-purchase the same subscription item after cancellation and prior to refund If you receive a refund after cancellation and re-purchase the same subscription item If you do not renew immediately after expiration and re-purchase the same subscription after a long period of time I would like to ask if 1, 2, and 3 all use the same value as the original Transaction Id at the initial subscription. In the case of 3, if you re-purchase more than a few days after the last subscription purchase, please let me know if there are any detailed conditions such as the original Transaction Id not maintained.

Hello, My app "MyCourses" (bundle id: com.ahmedbaqer.mycourses) was rejected under Guideline 2.1 because "No action followed when we tapped the button to subscribe to a course" on iPadOS 26.1. When I run the same code (version 1.0.0 (11)) from Xcode on a real device using a StoreKit configuration file (In App Purchase.storekit), the purchase flow works correctly: When I tap the "Subscribe via Apple" button, the App Store purchase sheet appears. The purchase completes successfully and unlocks the course. I use the in_app_purchase Flutter plugin and queryProductDetails to load products. However, when I install the build via TestFlight (and in App Review), tapping the same "Subscribe via Apple" button does nothing – which matches the behavior described by App Review. From my logs it looks like queryProductDetails is returning an empty productDetails list in that environment. For In‑App Purchases: I created 7 non‑consumable products in App Store Connect. Their Product IDs exactly match the IDs in my In App Purchase.storekit file (used only for local Xcode testing). All IAPs are now in "Waiting for Review" status and are linked to the iOS app version 1.0.0 (11) in the “In‑App Purchases and Subscriptions” section. At the time of the original review, some IAPs were in "Developer Action Needed / Rejected" state, so I suspect queryProductDetails may have returned no products and the reviewer saw no action after tapping the button. My questions: When IAP products are in "Waiting for Review" and linked to the app version, should queryProductDetails return them during App Review / TestFlight, or do they need to be fully approved first? Is there any additional configuration required so that the subscribe button reliably shows the App Store purchase sheet for reviewers (for example, any specific StoreKit / sandbox settings)? Are there recommended best practices to show a clearer error state when queryProductDetails returns no products, so that App Review understands this is a configuration / IAP-status issue rather than a UI bug? Any guidance from Apple engineers or other developers who faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I noticed the Product.SubscriptionInfo subscriptionPeriod (of type Product.SubscriptionPeriod) is different for the same product between StoreKit Testing in Xcode and the sandbox/App Store (production) environment. For a “1 week” auto-renewable subscription, we get the following: StoreKit Testing in Xcode: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 1 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.week Sandbox/App Store: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 7 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.day This created issues in my app because I used the localizedDescription of a Product.SubscriptionPeriod to display a text similar to “$4.99 per week”. This is what I obtain with the StoreKit Testing in Xcode, but in the Sandbox/App Store environment, it displays “$4.99 per day” (because the subscriptionPeriod is “7 Days” and the unit is then .day). Obviously, this is not what I wanted to display. Other periods like “1 month”, “2 months”, “3 months”, “6 months, and “1 year”, the period provided by both StoreKit Testing and Sandbox/App Store correspond to the period unit specified in App Store Connect. In addition, I want to report that for a weekly subscription/offer or a 2 weeks offer, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod or Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly or .everyTwoWeeks is always false. We observe the following: With Sandbox or App Store live production: 1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”) 1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”) 2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”) 2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”) But with an Xcode StoreKit configuration file: 1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”) 1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”) 2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”) 2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”) So in sandbox and production, .weekly and .everyTwoWeeks is never possible. If someone from Apple could check the feedback FB19605865 🙂 Thank you Regards, Axel, @alpennec Code: do { let productIDs: [String] = ["revenueSocks_weekly_trial"] let products: [StoreKit.Product] = try await Product.products (for: productIDs) let weeklySubscription: StoreKit.Product = products.first! let displayPrice: String = weeklySubscription.displayPrice // For a weekly subscription in App Store Connect // With an Xcode StoreKit configuration file: subscriptionPeriod unit is Week (week), value is 1 → "1 Week" // With the Sandbox + App Store: subscriptionPeriod unit is Day (.day), value is 7 → "7 Days" let unitString: String = weeklySubscription.subscription!.subscriptionPeriod.unit.localizedDescription print("\(displayPrice) per \(unitString.localizedLowercase)") // StoreKit configuration file → "$4.99 per week" // Sandbox + App Store → "$4.99 per day" } catch { print(error) }

Trying to test IAP in sandbox. I created the test group and tester accounts. Accepted the invite downloaded the app. Signed into to sandbox in settings with the tester account. In app the purchases are failing and throwing my catch error message product couldn't be found. I decided to test it from settings/ sandbox/ manage/ initiate purchase/ but I've been getting "can't complete transaction. Something went wrong, ant this transaction couldn't be completed. Try again later" since last week. I reached out to dev support over the phone then email and they couldn't or wouldn't provide assistance. I asked my senior at work she took a look at it and confirmed I created the IAP correctly and that my sandbox account could make test purchases in apps she make but couldn't get mine to work. The storekit test work fine in xcode I just don't know what to do now.

The app review prompt on iOS/iPadOS 26.1 has the "Not Now" button greyed out: On iOS/iPadOS 26.0, this was working: Before filing a radar, is there anything I'm missing? The only way to dismiss it is to tap a star rating and then a Cancel button appears which lets you dismiss it without reviewing.

I tried deleting the configuration file, but I ended up with an alert asking me to sign in with my sandbox ID. I did, and it returned an error: "Request Canceled". It is as if the purchase function doesn't update the currentEntitlements. This is my purchase function. Am I doing something wrong? func purchase(_ product: Product) async throws { let result = try await product.purchase() switch result { case .success(let verificationResult): switch verificationResult { case .verified(let transaction): // Successful purchase - deliver content await updatePurchasedProducts() await transaction.finish() // Go back to the map integratePlanAhead() case .unverified(_, let error): // Purchase failed verification throw error } case .userCancelled: // User cancelled the purchase break case .pending: // Purchase is pending (e.g., parental approval needed) break @unknown default: break } } It looks like purchases are never updated for my sandbox user... Thanks for any help :)

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?

Hi folks, How can I check the URL we have configured for SKAdNetwork install postback requests? Sadly we've lost any record of this via email on our end, and Apple developer support have asked that I reach out via the forums.
