Hello team, why do I occasionally encounter (java. lang. TimeException: com. apple. itunes. storekit. verification. Verification Exception: Verification failed with status INVALID_CHAIN) when calling (BaseAppStoreServerAPIClient. getTransactionInfo) using (app-store-ser-library 3.1.0) in Java

Hello, For In App Purchases with a renewable subscription, does the originalTransactionId change in the following scenarios? Case 1: A user subscribes to a subscription A within a Subscription Group SG1. The user then cancels it at the end of the month. Comes back later to subscribe to the same subscription A within the same Subscription Group SG1. Case 2: A user subscribes to a subscription A within a Subscription Group SG1. The user then cancels it at the end of the month. Comes back later to subscribe to subscription B within the same Subscription Group SG1.

Hi, I'm attempting to use StoreKit 2 and SwiftUI to add a tip jar to my iOS app. I've successfully added consumable IAPs for each of my tip sizes, and used ProductView to show these on my tip jar screen. However, I am at a loss on how to do the following things: How and when do I finish the consumable IAP transaction? I see the finish() function in the documentation, but I am not sure how I can call it given that ProductView is handling the purchase for me (I have no access to a Transaction object). How can I track the amount of consumable IAPs the user has purchased across all their devices? I want to show the user the amount of money they have tipped in total. I have added SKIncludeConsumableInAppPurchaseHistory to my Info.plist and set it to YES as suggested here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/687199 This is my first time using StoreKit 2 (until now, I was using StoreKit 1), so I would really appreciate any advice and guidance you can provide. Thanks!

In our app we are running into a few issues with pending purchases staying on receipt indefinitely. These are consumable purchases where we received the purchase succeeded from apple but then something went wrong on our servers to validate and confirm the purchase. At this point the purchase stays on the apple receipt indefinitely or until we confirm it. The problem is there are lots of scenarios where we can't confirm purchases anymore (like a game world expired/banned player/etc). So there's a few things I'd like to know to see how this could be handle correctly. 1- Was the user already charged, and if yes would they ever be refunded if the purchase is not confirmed (some sort of expiry)? 2- Is there a way to cancel this sort of pending transaction directly from the app or backend? 3- If one of these users asked for a refund from apple would this clear the purchase from the receipt? Any information would be greatI couldn't find a lot of info on this topic.

I'm using my sandbox account to subscribed to something. I am now trying to open the subscribed item in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions > Click on the active sandbox subscription > Cannot Connect. Has anyone else encountered this? How were you able to get around it?

I have problems with review process for new app. Review team getting error "SKErrorDomain Code=0 unknown error" while purchase subscription. They using iPad/iPhone with iOS 17/18. Problem is not reproducible on my devices. Also on devices of testers team. I have tested debug builds from Xcode and production builds from TestFlight. So strange that same purchase code was reviewed successfully on 2 other my apps. Review team getting error only on one new app. On screenshots from review I can see product prices. I loading it via StoreKit on fly. It is mean that app found products for purchase but can't purchase. "SKErrorDomain Code=0 unknown error" how I see is not app error. It is StoreKit error. Most popular advice in internet is just resubmit build. I tried it but get back same message from review team. That should I do in this case?

We offer a 3-day free trial, and our paywall clearly states that users will be charged after the trial ends. However, some users request refunds after the charge - even after fully using our app for days or even weeks. In some cases, refunds are approved despite the users having consumed our AI processing services for up to a month. Since our app relies on backend AI processing, each user session incurs a real cost. To prevent losses, we utilize RevenueCat’s CONSUMPTION_REQUEST system and have set our refundPreference to: "2. You prefer that Apple declines the refund". Until recently, Apple typically respected this preference, and 90% of refund requests were declined as intended. However, starting about a week ago, we observed a sudden reversal: Apple is now approving around 90% of refund requests, despite our refund preference. As a result, we are operating at a loss and have had to halt both our marketing campaigns and our 3-day free trial. We’re trying to understand whether this shift is due to a change in Apple’s refund policy, or if we need to handle CONSUMPTION_REQUEST differently on our end. Has anyone else experienced similar changes? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! The localization isn't working when using SubscriptionStoreView. The app hasn't been published yet. The subscription has been created and localization strings have been added. Status - ready to submit. Testing environment: Sandbox When calling SubscriptionStoreView, the debug console shows this error: GenerativeModelsAvailability.Parameters: Initialized with invalid language code: ru-RU. Expected to receive two-letter ISO 639 code. e.g. 'zh' or 'en'. Falling back to: ru Despite this, the subscription interface appears in English when Russian is expected. I don't use any locale setting for ru-RU anywhere in my code. The test device's region is set to Russia, and the language is Russian. Any help would be appreciated.

I am using the public url https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/jwsPublicKeys to get the jwks keys to verify the signed payload for store kit payments. I am checking Apple server notifications. const APPLE_JWKS_URL = "https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/jwsPublicKeys" // Apple JWK set (cached by jose) const appleJWKS = createRemoteJWKSet(new URL(APPLE_JWKS_URL)); const jwks = await appleJWKS(); logger.debug("Apple JWKS Keys: %O", jwks); // Log the keys if (!signedPayload) { // return res.status(400).json({ error: "Missing signedPayload" }); } // Step 1: Verify JWS (signature + payload) using Apple's JWKS const { payload, protectedHeader } = await jwtVerify( signedPayload, appleJWKS, { algorithms: ["ES256"], // Apple uses ES256 for signing } );

Hello, Is anyone else seeing Purchase.PurchaseResult.UserCancelled, despite a successful transaction? I had a user notify me today that he: Attempted a purchase Entered payment credentials Was asked to opt in to email subscription notifications Opted In Was shown my app's "User Canceled Purchase" UI Attempted to repurchase Was alerted that he was "Already Subscribed" I have adjusted my code to check Transaction.currentEntitlements on receiving a .userCancelled result, to avoid this in the future. Is this logically sound? Here is my code - please let me know if you see any issues: func purchase(product: Product, userId: String) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let purchaseUUID = UUID() let options: Set<Product.PurchaseOption> = [.appAccountToken(purchaseUUID)] let result = try await product.purchase(options: options) switch result { case .success(let verification): guard case .verified(let tx) = verification else { throw PurchaseError.verificationFailed // Show Error UI } return try await processVerified(tx) case .userCancelled: for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let tx) = result, tx.productID == product.id, tx.revocationDate == nil { return try await processVerified(tx) } } throw PurchaseError.cancelled // Show User Cancelled UI case .pending: throw PurchaseError.pending // Show Pending UI @unknown default: throw PurchaseError.unknown // Show Error UI } } @MainActor func processVerified(_ transaction: StoreKit.Transaction) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let id = String(transaction.id) if await transactionCache.contains(id) { await transaction.finish() return transaction // Show Success UI } let (ok, error) = await notifyServer(transaction) guard ok else { throw error ?? PurchaseError.serverFailure(nil) // Show Error UI } await transaction.finish() await transactionCache.insert(id) return transaction // Show Success UI } The only place the "User Cancelled Purchase" UI is displayed on my app is after the one instance of "throw PurchaseError.cancelled" above. This happened in Production, but I have also seen userCancelled happen unexpectedly in Sandbox. Thank you for your time and help.

Dear Apple Support Team, We are currently implementing auto-renewable subscriptions in our iOS app and are testing the integration using the sandbox environment. On the iOS app side, the in-app purchase flow completes successfully and displays a "Purchase Successful" message. However, we are not receiving any server notification callbacks on our configured App Store Server Notifications (Sandbox) webhook URL. For your reference, the webhook URL we have set in App Store Connect (Sandbox) is: https://9c0f-182-79-123-254.ngrok-free.app/ios/webhook Despite successfully completing a subscription purchase in the sandbox, there is no evidence that the webhook is being triggered. We would appreciate your guidance in resolving this issue or confirming if there are any additional configurations or steps required on our end.

The majority of our sandbox calls to verifyReceipt end in an ETIMEDOUT error. This is making it very difficult to verify our purchase flow for our pending release. We have not yet migrated to StoreKit 2 and still rely on this API endpoint. The Apple API status page reports no issues. Is anyone else encountering this?

With the imminent suspension of SHA-1 on App Store receipts, we desperately need an objective C code sample demonstrating how to calculate the same SDH-256 hash on device to compared with the hash from the App Store receipt. The forced migration to SHA256 for app store receipts this month mean we have to rewrite our on device receipt validation code. However there is no documentation or objC sample code on how to validate the SHA256 hash from MAS receipts. Thje documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3138-handling-app-store-receipt-signing-certificate-changes/ does not give any detail on how to validate SHA256. All my 100+ hours of experimentation and trial and error attempting to create a matching SHA256 has on device have failed. We desperately need some ObjC Sample code to validate the SHA256 hash on device. Our existing SHA1 code is still working but we expect SHA1 hashes to disappear from MAS Receipts any day now. Tnanks for any advice !

I have two sandbox users in App Store Connect, as I'm trying to test in-app purchases and Family Sharing. They're set up fine; I can make purchases in the app. The issue is that the refund request sheet in my app sometimes shows properly and lets me request a refund, but I'd say >80% of the time the sheet just shows "Cannot Connect" with a "Retry" button. Hitting that button doesn't ever result in the sheet showing the refund page. The only fix for this is to delete the app from the device, and restart the device. This has to be a joke, right? I need to be able to test this IAP, and the sandbox environment is useless most of the time. Why? Anyone experiencing this sort of issue?

Hellow. I have integrated the In-App Purchase feature into my app using StoreKit2. I execute the product purchase request using Product.purchase(options:). https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/product/3791971-purchase The development is complete, and testers are currently testing the app. They are not using Xcode. They are testing either with a sandbox test account by distributing the archive through debugging methods, or by downloading the app from TestFlight. I would like to test the scenario where Product.purchase(options:) returns .pending on a sandbox test account or TestFlight. I understand that Product.purchase(options:) returns .pending if the "Ask to Buy" option is enabled on a child account. However, there is no "Ask to Buy" option in the sandbox test account settings. When I test with a child account that has "Ask to Buy" enabled on TestFlight, Product.purchase(options:) does not return .pending but instead returns .userCancelled. I am wondering how I can test the case where Product.purchase(options:) returns .pending in a sandbox test account or on TestFlight. Thank you.

We’ve recently encountered an increased rate of purchase errors StoreKit.InvalidRequestError error 1 (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/invalidrequesterror) specifically on iOS 18.4. We suspect this might be related to the new Advanced Commerce API introduced by Apple, although we haven’t made any changes related to this API in our app. Have you experienced similar issues since the release of iOS 18.4 or when integrating the Advanced Commerce API? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Testing recurring subscriptions in a new release in both development environment and in Test Flight, we see an increased percentage of failed calls returning from Apple server. The return failure message is that an unknown error occurred. The behavior is not consistent and most often we get a failure and another attempt succeeds. We do get around 50% failures which is alarming and cannot be explained to the end user. We have also experimented with previous test versions that are in production currently and we see the same behavior, so this is not isolated to the most recent release we plan nor to a specific application we have. Past testing in previous releases did not return such high percentage of failures from Apple server. Have you encountered such an issue? We have no idea what may cause Apple server to return with this "Unknown error" and there is no log we can consume from Apple subscription service. Appreciate your help on this.

We are experiencing a critical issue where StoreKit 2 is returning empty products when using Product.products(for:), specifically on devices running iOS 18.4.

 This issue does not occur on iOS 18.3 or earlier.

 Steps:

 Created a subscription product (e.g. "upm1") in App Store Connect
 Confirmed the product is active, localised, and part of a valid subscription group
 Call the following Swift code using StoreKit 2:
 Task { do { let products = try await Product.products(for: ["upm1"]) print(products) } catch { print("Error: (error)") } } 4. Result: products is an empty list.

 This regression is blocking subscription testing on iOS 18.4. 

 Kindly someone please advise on a potential fix or workaround.

For auto-renewable subscriptions, it is necessary to call the transaction completion after the purchase. I understand that this needs to be called at the correct timing. StoreKit v1: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/original_api_for_in-app_purchase/finishing_a_transaction Question If the transaction does not finish for a long period, is the purchase cancelled and a refund issued? If so, how long is this period? For example case1: When I renewed the auto-renewable subscription from the OS settings app but did not open my own app. case2: When there was a malfunction in my own app. Similar forum https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656255

Hi everybody 👋 ! Just as the title says, for some reason I can no longer enter my Sandbox account credentials, because the section is gone from the developer settings. I tried reenabling the Developer mode, but with no result. Not a lot of information is available on this topic for the latest iOS versions. Can somebody assist, please?
