Description SKTestSession.setSimulatedError() does not throw the configured error when testing StoreKit with the .loadProducts API in iOS 26.2. The simulated error is ignored, and products load successfully instead. Environment iOS: 26.2 (Simulator) Xcode: 26.2 beta 2 (Build 17C5038g) macOS: 15.6.1 Framework: StoreKitTest Testing Framework: Swift Testing base project: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/StoreKit/implementing-a-store-in-your-app-using-the-storekit-api Expected Behavior After calling session.setSimulatedError(.generic(.notAvailableInStorefront), forAPI: .loadProducts), the subsequent call to Product.products(for:) should throw StoreKitError.notAvailableInStorefront. Actual Behavior The error is not thrown. Products load successfully as if setSimulatedError() was never called. Steps to Reproduce Create an SKTestSession with a StoreKit configuration file Call session.setSimulatedError(.generic(.notAvailableInStorefront), forAPI: .loadProducts) Call Product.products(for:) with a valid product ID Observe that no error is thrown and the product loads successfully Sample Code import StoreKitTest import Testing struct SKDemoTests { let productID: String = "plus.standard" @Test func testSimulatedErrorForLoadProducts() async throws { let storeKitConfigURL = try Self.getStoreKitConfigurationURL() let session = try SKTestSession(contentsOf: storeKitConfigURL) try await session.setSimulatedError( .generic(.notAvailableInStorefront), forAPI: .loadProducts ) try await confirmation("StoreKitError throw") { throwStoreKitError in do { _ = try await Self.execute(productID: productID) } catch let error as StoreKitError { guard case StoreKitError.notAvailableInStorefront = error else { throw error } throwStoreKitError() } catch { Issue.record( "Expect StoreKitError. Error: \(error.localizedDescription)" ) } } #expect(session.allTransactions().isEmpty) } static func execute(productID: String) async throws { guard let product = try await Product.products(for: [productID]).first( where: { $0.id == productID }) else { throw NSError( domain: "SKDemoTests", code: 404, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Product not found for ID: \(productID)"] ) } _ = product } static func getStoreKitConfigurationURL() throws -> URL { guard let bundle = Bundle(identifier: "your.bundle.identifier"), let url = bundle.url(forResource: "Products", withExtension: "storekit") else { fatalError("StoreKit configuration not found") } return url } } Test Result The test fails because the expected StoreKitError.notAvailableInStorefront is never thrown. Question Is this a known issue in iOS 26.2 / Xcode 26.2 beta 2, or is there a different approach required for simulating errors with SKTestSession in this version? Any guidance would be appreciated.

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 :)

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.

I need help understanding how the In-App purchase subscription works within the same subscription group and how the Order plays a role at the time of auto-renewal. In my case, I have 5 in-app products in the same group as given below with their Order, Order Product ---------------------- 1 Gold Annual 2 Gold Monthly 3 Silver Annual Old, 3 Silver Annual New 4 Silver Monthly One user purchased Silver annual New, at the time of expiry, after a year, it auto-renewed to Silver annual Old. My understanding is that if a user has purchased Silver annual New, at the time of renewal, it should renew with the same product, not with different product id. Is this behaviour expected? Is there any official document which can explain this behaviour? Note: There was no Order given before, recently we have changed the Order to manage Upgrade and Downgrade for In-App subscriptions.

Hi everyone, I’m seeing a strange behavior with StoreKit 2 and I’d like to know if anyone else experienced this. My subscription group “ROTA Premium” (Monthly + Annual) is currently Waiting for Review in App Store Connect. What works In Xcode’s StoreKit sandbox, everything loads correctly: Products appear Trial starts Purchases work What doesn’t work In TestFlight and App Review, StoreKit 2 returns zero products, so my paywall shows: “No subscription options found.” There are: No geo restrictions No backend No VPN/IP filtering Paid Apps Agreement is accepted App Review said the device was online, but couldn’t give technical help. My question Has anyone seen StoreKit 2 fail to load subscription products when the subscription group is still in Waiting for Review? Do subscription groups need to be reviewed together with the app version for StoreKit 2 to return them in TestFlight/App Review? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

I'm using code similar to the following to conditionally show the SubscriptionStoreView and the .storeButton(.visible, for: .restorePurchases) modifier is used to allow the user to restore an existing subscription. How can I listen for events that would allow me to close this view once the subscription is restored? The .onInAppPurchaseCompletion closure does not handle this and it also appears that listening for results in Transaction.currentEntitlements also doesn't handle the fact that a subscription is restored. Any guidance on how to determine if the subscription has been restored would be greatly appreciated. Finally, how can this be tested effectively in both TestFlight and in Xcode with the simulator. if subscriptionManager.subscription == .none { SubscriptionStoreView(groupID: "1234567") { SubscriptionMarketingView(transparency: false) .containerBackground(for: .subscriptionStoreFullHeight) { GradientBackground() } } .backgroundStyle(.clear) .storeButton(.visible, for: .restorePurchases) .storeButton(.visible, for: .redeemCode) .onInAppPurchaseCompletion { product, result in Task { await subscriptionManager.entitlements() } } }

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!

My app offers auto renewable subscriptions, I have couple of questions regarding how to model the subscriptions at server side, Is originalTransactionId will ever change for a subscription? Will it stay same in case of subscription upgrade/downgrade/crossgrade? If it changes on product change then how do i keep track that the subscription was a continuous subscription and not a new one? Is the webhook payload contains any identifier of which apple account purchase the subscription? I am having issues maintaining sync between the app account's current subscription and the local apple account's subscription, is there any doc regarding this? Will be really helpful

I am finding that the verifyReceipt endpoint used to verify a receipt is failing on occassion starting around October 27, 2015. I realize this API is deprecated. I am using cURL to call verifyReceipt. The specific errors are 52 - Empty reply from server and 56 - Connection closed abruptly. This indicates an issue with Apple's server as I understand it. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?

In a recent update to developer news, Apple posted more details about compliance tools for the new laws coming into effect in Texas on Jan 1. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=2ezb6jhj It is not explicitly stated in the news update or documentation but when the new RESCIND_CONSENT notification is sent to the developer, what happens on the child account devices? Does the app just disappear. Does the developer need to take any action in the App itself? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreservernotifications/notificationtype Thanks, Eric

Hi everyone, I’m implementing subscriptions using StoreKit v2, and I’ve noticed a behavior change starting with iOS 26.1. I’d like to ask if anyone else has experienced the same issue. ■ Issue Immediately after purchasing a new subscription, the value of auto_renew_status (or autoRenewStatus) returned in the receipt is 0 (auto-renew OFF). This issue occurs on iOS 26.1. On iOS 26.0 and earlier, the same parameter returned 1 (auto-renew ON) right after purchase. Sometimes, after executing a “restore” operation, the value changes to 1 later. Since we’ve been using this parameter to determine whether a user’s subscription is active or not, the current behavior is causing some difficulties on our end. ■ Questions Has anyone else observed this issue (where autoRenewStatus is 0 immediately after purchase on iOS 26.1 or later)? How are you handling or working around this behavior in your implementation? If autoRenewStatus is unreliable, we’re considering determining the subscription state based on receipt fields instead. Would this approach be reasonable? "status" is 1 (indicates active subscription) "expire_time" is in the future "deleted_at" is null If anyone has encountered the same behavior or knows of any Apple-recommended implementation approach, I’d really appreciate your insights. Thank you! 🙏

💬 Post Content Hello everyone, I’m currently testing In-App Purchases (auto-renewable subscriptions) for my iOS app, and I’m experiencing an issue where the product information cannot be fetched from StoreKit. ❓ Questions For sandbox testing, is it absolutely necessary to submit a new app version for review (with the in-app purchase included)? Or can I test subscriptions without submitting a new build to App Review? Under what conditions does the error IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.) 🧪 What I’ve Tried • Confirmed that the bundle identifier matches the App Store Connect record • Verified that In-App Purchase capability is enabled in Xcode • Ensured the sandbox tester account is logged in (Settings → App Store) • Removed the StoreKit configuration file to use the sandbox environment • Tried both real device and simulator (same error) • Accepted the Paid Apps Agreement in App Store Connect • Products are created but currently not yet submitted for review 🔍 Environment • App type: iOS app built with Flutter (using in_app_purchase plugin) • Build type: Archive build installed via Xcode (Run on device) and testFlight • StoreKit Configuration File: Currently removed (for sandbox test); • Status: Ready to submit in App Store Connect

On this page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/testing-age-assurance-in-sandbox It says: Start with a Sandbox account. What is a Sandbox account and how does one set one up? Just it just simply mean an Apple account id used for testing, or something else?

Hey guys, somehow I used my real ID(not sandbox test ID) to purchase a non-consumable item in the TestFlight package, no actual payment was made, but this payment record cannot be erased. Even though I know the transaction ID, I cannot initiate a refund like using refundRequestSheet(). Does anyone know how to deal with this, or there is no way to solve it?

Hello Fellow Developers, I recently built a simple craft related app called "Genie Crystals" with a landing page. there is a button on landing page which redirects to a main template generator page. Here the user can play with the parameters and create an output which can be exported. to export there is an unlock button which is linked to the in-app purchase configured in the app. Initially it was not capturing price properly so I modified the code slightly to keep the button in disabled state until the product details got fetched in background asynchronously. But when I released the app and downloaded it on a different device at the time of load itself, I am getting the alert - product not available. I have used correct product Id in the program. I have confirmed that. I think I am missing something. Any help will be appreciated. I am new to this so if I need to share any additional information kindly let me know. Thanks.

Is the following subscription cancellation flow possible for an iOS in-app subscription? (Note: This is during the feature planning stage, not actual app deployment.) Planned user flow: User taps the “Cancel Subscription” button Display a “Wait a moment!” screen showing how much the user has enjoyed BFLIX content (to encourage retention) User taps “Proceed to Cancel” Collect cancellation reason from the user Redirect the user to the Apple subscription management page to complete cancellation Can this flow be implemented under Apple’s current in-app purchase and App Store Review guidelines?

Hi, I have a setup using App Store Server notifications, which has worked fine for a while now. However, I've never been able to successfully verify a purchase via Xcode, only via TestFlight. The reason for this is that the StoreKit transactions have numerical IDs (e.g. starting from 0, incrementing one-by-one), instead of UUIDs like in TestFlight/production. This means that often the backend will detect an existing transaction with the same ID and not complete the purchase. What are we meant to do here? If I send a custom ID to make it unique the backend won't accept this - I can ask them to change this for our dev environment but it's not ideal. What I'm after is a way to use UUIDs for transaction IDs when running via Xcode. Thanks

We have encountered an issue when verifying transactions using the Get Transaction Info API. We tested the behavior in both the sandbox and production environments and observed the following results. When calling the production endpoint: https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} with a transactionId generated in the sandbox environment, the API returns HTTP 401 Unauthorized. However, based on the documentation and common understanding, we expected HTTP 404 Not Found in this case. Using the same JWT token, if we call the sandbox endpoint: https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}, we receive HTTP 200 OK with the expected response body. We have also confirmed that the same behavior occurs when using the Get Transaction History API — it works correctly in the sandbox environment but returns 401 in production. Could you please confirm whether this behavior (receiving 401 instead of 404) is expected by design, or if it indicates a potential issue? If this is not the intended behavior, we would appreciate any guidance or instructions to resolve it. Thank you very much for your technical support. 「Get Transaction Info」APIを用いてトランザクションの検証を行ったところ、以下の問題が発生しました。 サンドボックス環境および本番環境の両方で検証を行い、次の結果を確認しています。 本番環境エンドポイント https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} に対して サンドボックス環境で生成された transactionId を使用すると、HTTP 401 Unauthorized が返却されます。 （一般的には、この場合 404 Not Found が返る想定であると理解しています。） 同一のJWTトークン を用いて サンドボックス環境のエンドポイント https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} を呼び出した場合は、HTTP 200 OK が返り、期待通りのレスポンスボディを受け取ることができています。 また、同様の挙動が Get Transaction History を使用した場合にも発生することを確認しています。 サンドボックス環境では正常に動作しますが、本番環境では401が返却されます。 この挙動（401が返却されること）は仕様上想定されたものか、または何らかの問題によるものかご確認をお願いいたします。 もし想定外の挙動である場合は、解決に向けたご案内をいただけますと幸いです。 本件について、技術的なサポートをお願いいたします。 よろしくお願いいたします。

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue where StoreKit is returning 0 products from the App Store, even though my auto-renewable subscriptions are approved in App Store Connect. When calling queryProductDetails using Flutter’s in_app_purchase package (which uses StoreKit under the hood), StoreKit reports success but returns an empty list. The logs show the following error: IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: "StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.") InAppPurchase.isAvailable() returns true, but no product details are received. Already verified: • Subscriptions are approved in App Store Connect • Product identifiers in the app match those in App Store Connect exactly • In-App Purchase capability is enabled in Xcode • Paid Applications Agreement, banking, and tax details are active and complete • Using the latest version of the Flutter in_app_purchase package StoreKit should normally return the list of available products in the production environment, but it consistently returns an empty array along with the “storekit_no_response” error. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found any potential causes for StoreKit failing to return products in the production environment? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
