关于通过Advanced commerce API 创建SKU，有几个问题： 1、通过Advanced commerce API创建的自动续费订阅的SKU是否支持推介优惠、促销优惠？如果可以，是在苹果connect设置吗？ 2、已订阅通过connect创建的SKU的用户，是否可以重复订阅通过Advanced commerce API创建的SKU？还是要通过Advanced commerce API变更订阅？ 3、Advanced commerce API创建的SKU ,用户订阅成功后，续费的扣款是否仍由苹果发起？还是由开发者自行发起？

When submitting an app for review, will any unreviewed auto-renewing subscriptions within the app be reviewed simultaneously? I own an app that has passed review and offers an auto-renewing subscription A within the app that has also passed review. To test a new service, I plan to create a new auto-renewing subscription B, which I do not intend to submit for review. After creating Subscription B, I plan to submit the app for review as part of an app update. In that case, is there a possibility that Subscription B will also be reviewed?

We've been approved for the Advanced Commerce API. After receiving the approval, we completed the initial setup requirements (submitted a generic product ID and shared our subscriptions page deep link). When testing the Migrate Subscription to Advanced Commerce endpoint in the sandbox, we receive a 5000000 error. What could be the reason/s for it? There is no information, and the API call we make includes all required parameters. Could it be related to the fact that our new generic product ID status is "Missing Metadata"? Is there a way to understand what the issue is on Apple's side?

hi, when i test an in app purchase with my sandbox acount i get: "ask permission. a request to buy ** will be sent to your parent or gardian (environment: sandbox)" When i made the sandbox account, i didnt see any option to set my age. What am i missing here, I dont seem to be able to fully test in app purchases since my sandbox accounts always defualt to this family sharing thing? Thanks

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.

When trying to login with sandbox account in my simulator, nothing happens, it just become inactive for few seconds and then it become active again prompting that I can login, again and again.

I have consumable IAPs in my app. Currently there is no way for me to test refunds for them as Xcode testing doesn't allow refunds option for my Purchases. According to this official documentation on Transaction.all , i should be getting my refunded consumables in Transaction's all property. But there is no way for me to know what kind of data is in the refunded transaction object. Will there be a 'revocation date' like in the case of non-consumables?

Hello, Our app has been released in Korea with an external payment feature. The function that must display the required modal for external payments is as follows: let result = try await ExternalPurchase.presentNoticeSheet() guard result != .cancelled else { return } However, while testing in the development environment, the API returns a result of continuedWithExternalPurchaseToken(token: String), but in the version distributed through the App Store, it returns cancelled. We would like to know how we can receive the continuedWithExternalPurchaseToken result in the App Store version. Thank you for your guidance. If anyone here has experienced a similar issue or found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your insights as well.

Hello, I would like to ask about an Apple ID authentication behavior during in-app purchases. Our app uses a StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentQueue-based) implementation, and there are no differences in the in-app purchase logic between the TestFlight build and the App Store production build. However, we have observed that some users are prompted to enter their Apple ID password during in-app purchases. The observed behavior is as follows: On the first in-app purchase, the system prompts for the Apple ID password After the password is entered once, subsequent purchases proceed normally using Face ID (double side-button press) Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, or switching between TestFlight and App Store builds, the password prompt does not reappear if authentication has already occurred This behavior can occur even when the Apple ID already has an active auto-renewable subscription The only confirmed change on our side is: The app is now built with Xcode 26 instead of Xcode 18 Based on this, we are currently considering the following possible causes: A change in purchase authentication behavior due to the Xcode version update Expiration of the Apple ID purchase authentication session after a long period without purchases In addition to these points, we would like to ask: Are there any other common conditions or security policies in iOS or the App Store that may cause the system to require Apple ID password input during in-app purchases? Is this behavior considered expected under certain circumstances? We would appreciate your clarification on whether this is expected system behavior or if there are any implementation aspects we should further review. Thank you for your support.

The phone is set up with the developer program to cancel subscriptions from the app we developed. However, after the OS update on the phone, the subscriptions no longer appear in the developer program, although the subscription does exist in the app itself.

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

What is the expected behavior for App Receipts and ASSN v2 notifications when a subscription is set to "Remove from Sale"? I tried to test this in Sandbox, but the "Remove from Sale" setting in App Store Connect doesn't seem to affect the Sandbox environment. For existing subscribers, what happens in the receipt? Does auto_renew_status change to 0 and is expiration_intent populated immediately? Also, which notificationType is sent via ASSN v2?

Previously I could get the sub package information after each payment via webhook but today I didn't get it. What happened? My webhook url: https://r-connect-api-dev.mystg-env.com/webhook/appstore/notification/v2

I’m trying to determine the most appropriate modern method for detecting whether a user originally downloaded a paid app (prior to transitioning the app to freemium/IAP-based access). Historically, this was done by checking for a valid App Store receipt and using SKReceiptRefreshRequest to ensure a fresh one was available. However, SKReceiptRefreshRequest and many related aspects of StoreKit receipt handling are now deprecated in iOS 17+. The current Apple documentation on receipt validation still refers to SKReceiptRefreshRequest, which makes things unclear. With so many deprecations and the push toward StoreKit 2, what’s the recommended path to: Check for a valid App Store receipt Confirm that the app was originally purchased (as a paid app, not via IAP) Persist this info to exempt the user from paywalling the app in the future I don’t need to validate purchases of IAPs — just to detect a legacy paid app download. Any guidance on best practice for this use case, preferably using non-deprecated APIs (StoreKit 2 or otherwise), would be appreciated.

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?

this error occurred during the StoreKit1 payment process. Could you please tell me the reason?

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.

I would like to know if it is allowed to offer the user to either unlock the app immediately or partake in a 3-day trial period before making a purchase. I created 2 IAP non-consumable products; 1 for the immediate [which is at a discount] and for the after trial period ends [this is at a higher cost]. Is this something that Apple allows or is frowned upon?

Hello Developer support, In one of our live application we have seen that users are purchasing weekly subscription and automatically they shifted to yearly product. Due to this we have received high revenue and also refunds afterwards. To prevent this we removed our yearly product from the sale. In App Store Connect we have seen activations for weekly product and convert to standard prices are yearly products. Also we have seen weird behavior of user getting trial for same product for three times. For developer support people I am sharing my app id - 1320373866 , and here is the video of our issue - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DBHw8ivgql4eNoo8NC3xo5v4wgr8Oh7x/view?usp=sharing , Also attaching trial behavior screenshot.

Where the problem occurs: In-app purchase Non-ApplePay Non-local authentication login Environment where the problem occurs: Sandbox environment (Development environment, TestFlight environment) Problem handling process: Open page A in the app and purchase product B (auto-renewable subscription) on that page. User authentication is required to purchase product B. During the authentication process, the user needs to enter the Apple account and Apple account password. After completing the authentication, complete the purchase of product B. Problem in step 3: Why is FaceID or TouchID not used for authentication? Note: Face ID and Password -> iTunes Store and App Store -> Status is Enabled
