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.

Hello, I am currently implementing External Purchase Link and External Purchase Custom Link and am encountering an issue where both ExternalPurchaseLink.canOpen and ExternalPurchaseCustomLink.isEligible always return false under all test conditions. I would like to confirm whether my setup is missing any required steps or whether this behavior is expected. Below are the details of my current environment and configuration: 🔧 1. Development Environment Xcode: 16.3, 16.4, 26.0 beta 4 Devices: iPhone running iOS 26.2 beta iPhone running iOS 16.7.12 macOS 15.5 (real device testing) Simulator iOS 18.0 Build Type: Local development build using a Developer Provisioning Profile Sandbox account signed in during testing 🔑 2. Entitlements (Developer site & Xcode) In Certificates → Identifiers → App ID, both capabilities are enabled: StoreKit External Purchase StoreKit External Purchase Link The .entitlements file in Xcode includes: com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase = YES com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase-link = YES The Provisioning Profile also contains both entitlements (confirmed via codesign -d --entitlements :-). 📄 3. Info.plist Configuration Both keys are configured with correct region codes according to documentation: SKExternalPurchase SKExternalPurchaseCustomLinkRegions 🌍 4. Test Storefront Device storefront verified as United States (US) or Portugal (PT) (US = target region for External Purchase Link, PT = EU region) But despite all the above configuration, both API calls consistently return false: ExternalPurchaseLink.canOpen // false ExternalPurchaseCustomLink.isEligible // false So I cannot proceed to testing the remaining flow (token retrieval, link opening, etc.) ------ Questions ------ ❓ Q1) Local Development Build Limitation Is it expected behavior that Developer-signed local builds always return canOpen = false / isEligible = false for External Purchase Link & Custom Link? Is there a technical or policy restriction that prevents eligibility in local dev builds? ❓ Q2) App Store Connect Configuration Requirement Are there mandatory App Store Connect settings (such as external purchase URLs, support URL, disclosures, or country configuration) that must be enabled before eligibility becomes true? Currently, no External Purchase Link or Custom Link menu is visible in my App Store Connect app settings. Is this menu only available after certain approvals or under specific conditions? ❓ Q3) TestFlight Requirement Do External Purchase Link and Custom Link only return eligibility = true on: TestFlight builds, or Distribution-signed builds? Or should eligibility also work on developer builds? Formal confirmation would be helpful. ❓ Q4) Developer Account Type Limitation We are using an Individual Developer Account (not Organization). Can Individual accounts fully request, test, and ship apps using: External Purchase Link External Purchase Custom Link Or are there limitations on account type? 🙏 Request We have completed all documented setup steps (Entitlements → Provisioning → Info.plist), but eligibility remains false, blocking feature validation. Please clarify which of the following is the cause: Local development builds do not support eligibility Missing App Store Connect configuration (not visible to us) Account type restriction Region rollout or entitlement approval requirement Any additional setup not documented publicly Thank you for your assistance.

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.

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？

Hi, I'm using the AppTransaction.shared API to retrieve the originalAppVersion, but I'm encountering issues for users who originally installed the app in 2017. Specifically, the property doesn't seem to return the expected value (or returns nil) for these older accounts. I have verified this issue using a real App Store purchase from 2017. Steps to Reproduce: Use a test account that originally downloaded the app in 2017. Call: let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared print(shared.originalAppVersion) Observe that originalAppVersion is missing or not returned correctly. Any insights on whether this is expected behavior for very old App Store purchases, or if there is a workaround to reliably detect the original app version? Thanks in advance!

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.

Both the legacy StoreKit API and the new StoreKit 2 API return the incorrect storefront countryCode. My actual Apple ID region is Germany, and my Sandbox test user is set to France, yet the SDK consistently returns USA. Expected Results: The returned storefront countryCode should reflect the correct region - sandbox user region if signed in and real user region if not signed in with sandbox). Actual Results: Returned country code is USA with both SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode and await Storefront.current?.countryCode. Signing out/in, device reboot and even reset do not help, I'm stuck with USA storefront.

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.

💬 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

According to Apple's documentation, SKOverlay is designed to recommend other applications to users. I'm seeking clarification on whether it also supports displaying update prompts for the host application itself. Use case: My app (for example, HelloDeveloper) is live at version 2.0, but some users are still on version 1.0. I want to display a soft update prompt that allows users to remain in the app. Question: Is it possible to use SKOverlay with my app's App Store ID to present an update option without requiring users to leave the app?

Whether using Storefront.current?.countryCode or SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode, both are returning "USA" only. (It used to return the correct country code before the update.) In the sandbox environment, the country code is returned correctly, but in the TestFlight environment, it always returns "USA". There's no mention of this behavior in the beta release notes, so I'm posting it here for visibility.

I use [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions]. Works on my App which is in the store (compiled pre-iOS 26). If I compile the same App now, same codebase with Xcode Version 26.0, restore does not work. Nothing happens. Tested on real device (iOS 26). Documentation says its deprecated, but my deployment target is iOS 12. Anyone has similar issues? Any recommendations?

My app has in app purchase for subscriptions, available in many countries. When using Sandbox App Store accounts on TestFlight with a locale different from my own in the iOS 26 RC, I'm getting incorrect currency coming back from Product.products(for: identifiers), and so my app displays the wrong price for the locale. However, the actual Apple Pay buy sheet shows the proper currency symbol and currency amount. This did not happen on prior versions of iOS. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi everyone, After updating to Xcode 16.4, my StoreKit configuration stopped working. Whenever I run the app with a .storekit file set as the active scheme, I immediately get this alert: “The file has been changed. Do you want to save your changes or revert to the file on disk?” No matter if I choose Save Anyway or Revert, StoreKit testing does not work - the purchases are not simulated, and the scheme is basically broken. This issue didn’t exist in Xcode 15.4 - the same StoreKit configuration file works fine there. What I tried so far: Clearing Derived Data - no effect Making sure no scripts/tools modify the .storekit file - still happens Restarting Xcode and macOS - no change Environment: Xcode 16.4 Happens in both Simulator and on device Reproducible 100% Has anyone else seen this in 16.4? Any known workarounds until Apple fixes it? Thanks!

Hi, I'm reaching out to report a recurring issue with in-app purchases on iOS that seems to be related to Apple’s transaction handling — not to third-party libraries. In my Flutter application, I use both StoreKit2 and StoreKit1 (for comparison) via different packages, including the official in_app_purchase package. However, in both cases, I’m experiencing unexpected reuse of transactionId and appTransactionId values, even when initiating fresh purchases with unique appAccountToken values. Problem Summary: Purchase Stream Returns Old Purchases When calling buyNonConsumable() with a new product, the purchase stream still returns data for a previously purchased product, despite clearing all Sandbox transactions and using a new applicationUserName for each attempt. Transaction IDs Reused Across Distinct Purchases Even when generating a new UUID for appAccountToken on each purchase, the returned appTransactionId and transactionId are reused — this breaks our server-side logic, which expects these fields to uniquely identify purchases and users. Example Logs: // First purchase { "appAccountToken": "2d5a0880-f68e-44a7-a414-f51204e63904", "appTransactionId": "704464472748013865", "transactionId": "2000000928154716" } // Second purchase (different user context) { "appAccountToken": "2d5a0880-f68e-44a7-a414-f51204e63904", "appTransactionId": "704464472748013865", "transactionId": "2000000928429780" } Even when using a different productId, the appTransactionId stays the same. When using StoreKit1, the productId updates properly, but the transactionId still matches the previous one. This behavior also affects App Store Server Notifications (V2): we have observed notifications tied to appAccountTokens from completely different user accounts (based on internal logs), sometimes delayed by days or weeks. I’ve prepared a reproducible example using the official Flutter in_app_purchase sample with minimal changes — you can find it here: Github gist The code is almost identical to the package example. I only added UUID generation for applicationUserName in _getToken(). In the actual app (not in this example), I retrieve the token from an API. Additional Observations from the Community: We’ve also found similar issues reported in other frameworks and languages. For instance, a developer using react-native-iap observed that App Store Server Notifications in TestFlight were tied to previously deleted users, even after signing up with a new user account and generating a new appAccountToken. Details here: User A deleted → User B signs up → receives upgrade event with User A’s token Notification uses appAccountToken from old account, not the new one This strengthens the suspicion that the issue may be related to how Apple associates transactions with Apple IDs in test environments. Questions: Is it expected for transactionId or appTransactionId to persist across purchases within the same Apple ID, even for different user contexts (e.g., separate logins in the same app)? Is there any official recommendation for avoiding this kind of data reuse in Sandbox or TestFlight environments? Should I expect appAccountToken in server notifications to always match the latest value provided during the purchase? Thank you in advance for your assistance. I would appreciate any clarification or advice regarding this issue, as it impacts production logic that relies on these identifiers being unique and consistent.

The sample code provided in https://developer.apple.com/wwdc21/10114 doesn't appear to call finish() on unverified transactions, and I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding what to do with unfinished transactions. However, Apple has always emphasized the importance of finishing transactions, and since a transaction object is provided even with the unverified state, I'd love some guidance!

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?

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() } } }

Over the past two days, we've observed an unusual spike in requests from some iOS users to our server endpoint responsible for verifying App Store purchase receipts. After sampling and analyzing the data, we found that the cause is related to the behavior of StoreKit2.Transaction.updates. Specifically, when listening for transaction updates, the system returns a large number of historical transactions — some dating back as far as one year. These callbacks are interpreted as "new" transactions, which in turn trigger repeated calls to Apple’s receipt verification servers, leading to an abnormal surge in traffic and putting pressure on our backend services. This behavior is ongoing and is something we've never encountered in our previous experience. It appears to be outside of expected behavior, and we suspect it may be due to some kind of abnormality or unintended usage scenario. We would appreciate guidance on the following: Is this a known behavior or issue with StoreKit2? Are there specific device states or conditions that could cause the system to emit historical transactions in bulk? Are there any recommended practices for mitigating or filtering such transaction floods? We have attached logs for reference. Any help identifying the root cause or suggestions for investigation would be greatly appreciated. 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317037", "purchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "c4f79de2-a027-4b34-b777-6851f83f7e64", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317270", "purchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001791317270", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "02f305d7-0b2d-4d55-b427-192e61b99024", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792218708", "purchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792218708", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.598 +0400 [INFO] [MKPaymentService:23]: [XLPay] listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "5ca85907-1ab6-4160-828e-8ab6d3574d6f", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219189", "purchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219189", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.599 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "04869b50-b181-4b69-b4ff-025175e9cf14", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219440", "purchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219440", }

I enter the payment wall, there it takes more or less 3 to 4 minutes to show the plans, when I select the monthly plan the loader is shown and from there the pop up to make the purchase in sandbox does not appear, I have waited until a maximum of 50 minutes and it is not shown, I go back and close the app I do the same steps and I am still there, without showing the pop up. Doing this same process in xcode, everything happens immediately without any interruption.
