In the app we're distributing, we've identified a user where the Get All Subscription Statuses API returns two original transaction IDs in the data response. This user has gone through cancellations and re-subscriptions since their initial purchase. Meanwhile, despite maintaining a continuous subscription, a notification suddenly arrives on the renewal date with original_transaction_id2. +---------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+ | original_transaction_id | notification_type | subtype | +---------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+ | original_transaction_id1 | SUBSCRIBED | INITIAL_BUY | ~ Repeated cancellations and re-subscriptions ~ | original_transaction_id1 | SUBSCRIBED | RESUBSCRIBE | | original_transaction_id2 | SUBSCRIBED | INITIAL_BUY | +---------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------+ Although it can be inferred from the interface definition of the API itself that multiple original transaction IDs may be returned, what causes multiple original transaction IDs to be returned? Furthermore, is it possible to reproduce the case where multiple original transaction IDs are returned in the sandbox environment provided by Apple? As for this app, it: Uses subscriptions through in-app purchases. Does not offer upgrades, downgrades, or crossgrades, having only one product. Has never undergone price increases or decreases. Is distributed exclusively in Japan.

Stripe offers variable payment structures, also known as "irregular recurring payments," which include: Usage-based billing: Charges amounts based on usage during the billing cycle (e.g., minutes used or energy consumed). Quantity-based billing: Charges a pre-agreed amount based on quantity (e.g., number of users in a subscription). Is it possible to implement this type of billing in the Apple Store for apps? How would variations in amounts be handled?

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.

Hello all, We developed an iOS app which we started advertising now. In our iOS app we already implemented the updatePostbackConversionValue(_:completionHandler:) to send in-app events in increasing numbers (first open -> 1, lead ->2, conversion -> 3). From our understanding this should be enough for alle ad networks (Apple Ads, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads and Reddit Ads) to receive those numbers - at least they receive the app installs from the SKAN already. Is this correct or do we miss something here in the integration? We currently really struggle to assure that everything is working and we do not see any conversions coming in - even though two weeks of advertising have passed already. I look forward for any feedback or discussion and I am also happy to share more details if needed. Best regards, Manuel

For testing purposes, I log out of media and purchases to use sandbox ID's to test in app purchases. Once I log out of media and purchases in device settings, in app purchases is still using my real apple ID, I'm not being prompted anymore to log into a sandbox ID for purchases.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-v2-history-_transactionid I would like to inquire about the detailed triggers for updating receipts in this API specification. Recently, I was using this API with sort=DESCENDING&revoked=false to retrieve the expiration date of the most recent receipt and determine the subscription status. However, for some reason, an old receipt with an earlier expiration date appeared as the first receipt, and I would like to know the reason for this. Can you provide information on what specific events or actions trigger the updating of receipts in this API? Also, regarding https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/status, will statuses 3 and 4 not be returned in the response unless the billing grace period is enabled in the App Store? -- Japanese こちらのAPI仕様ですが、どのようなトリガーでレシートが更新されるのか詳細に伺いたいです。 先日このAPIを使用してsort=DESCENDING&revoked=falseで一番最初のレシートの有効期限を取得して課金状態か判断していたのですが、どういったわけか一番最初のレシートに古い有効期限のレシートが入ってきたので理由を知りたいです。 また、https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/status のステータスはAppleStoreで請求猶予期間を有効化しないと3,4はレスポンスされませんか？

when I have not verified payment method and we choose UPI then pop up shows Purchase In Progress and it shows notification for UPI app payment for apps like Gpay, Paytm. But when we approve or decline this payment StoreKit methods not called for success or failure and we have to kill app to refetch the status and stop the loader.

The application is developed with Xamarin Framework and it is live now. The customer installed the app and purchased the annual subscription. And for some reason, they uninstall and reinstall the application on the same device. Now user wants to restore the subscription. In the application, there is an option to Restore the subscription. But restore API not return purchase details. But when clicking the subscription button instead of restoring the subscription, it says you subscribed to this plan". is there any possibility of not getting VerifyRecipt even after a successful purchase?

Hello, I am consistently receiving the error message "In-app purchases are not allowed on this device" whenever I try to make an in-app purchase on my iOS device. Despite following all the recommended solutions I could find online, the issue remains unresolved. Here is a list of the steps I have already taken: Checked Screen Time Settings: I navigated to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases. I have confirmed that "In-App Purchases" is set to "Allow." I have also tried toggling this setting off and on again. Signed Out & In of Apple ID: I signed out of my Apple ID via Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases, restarted the device, and then signed back in. Restarted the Device: I have force-restarted my device multiple times. Updated iOS: I have ensured my device is running the latest version of iOS (checked via Settings > General > Software Update). Verified Payment Method: I have confirmed that my payment method on file is valid and up-to-date. Created a New Sandbox Account: I also created a new Sandbox Tester account in App Store Connect and tested with it, but the result was the same. Device Information: Device Model: iPhone 15, iPhone 13 iOS Version: iOS 17.5, iOS 18 Even after performing all of these steps, the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered such a stubborn issue, or does anyone have a different solution I could try? Thank you in advance for your help.

Inquire the types of notifications that can occur in a SANDBOX environment Hello, WWDC 2024 is trying to conduct a test to receive notifications related to ONE_TIME_CHARGE, CONNSUMPTION_REQUEST, CONMSUMPTION_INFO, REFUND, and REFUND_DECLINED as described in the example of purchasing consumables, but as a result of the continuous search, I found that it is difficult to occur except for ONE_TIME_CHARGE. So, in order to verify only the business logic as shown below, we are testing only the business logic without actually calling the API after purchasing the test and saving the signaled Payload that we received in response to ONE_TIME_CHARGE. Can we actually request a refund for the test purchase and receive the corresponding notification and actually send the response? public void handleSignedNotification(String signedNotification) throws Exception { ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload payload = signedDataVerifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification(signedNotification); NotificationTypeV2 type = payload.getNotificationType(); //For Apple Server Notification, only ONE_TIME_CHARGE notifications are enabled in the test environment, so for testing, change them as below to test whether they are running business logic type = NotificationTypeV2.REFUND; log.info("Apple NotificationType : {}", type); switch (type) { case CONSUMPTION_REQUEST: handleConsumptionRequest(payload); break; case REFUND: handleRefund(payload); break; case REFUND_DECLINED: handleRefundDeclined(payload); break; // For other necessary notifications, just take a log default: log.info("Unhandled notification: {}", type); } } Regarding the call of 'CONSUMPTION_INFO', which is the response of 'CONSUMPTION_REQUEST' Is there a value that WWDC 2024 must include when sending CONMSUMPTION_INFO, which is the response to CONNSUMPTION_REQUEST described in the refund example? I'm going to call the API with only sample provision and consumption like the sample code you introduced in the video. I was told to submit my refund preference within 12 hours, but can I submit it as UNDECLARED at first and use the method to express my intention? When I receive the notification, I will save it in the DB and save it in the administrator page of the service so that the administrator can choose. 2-1. Some of the materials I looked for are told that Apple can proceed with the refund even 12 hours ago, and to express your opinion as soon as I receive the notification, but I wonder if this is correct. If you get a notification as below, you should write whether you used it or not by referring to the consumption information. I think the customer said to check whether the data was provided when applying for a refund. Should I take it out of decodedTransaction, check the value, and just call it NO_PREFERENCE? I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Below is a part of the code I implemented. private void handleConsumptionRequest(ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload notification) throws Exception { // 1. transaction ID get String signedTransactionInfo = notification.getData().getSignedTransactionInfo(); JWSTransactionDecodedPayload decodedTransaction = signedDataVerifier.verifyAndDecodeTransaction(signedTransactionInfo); String transactionId = decodedTransaction.getTransactionId(); // 2. Extract the relevant transaction (The following example is an in-app payment and will be accumulated in two types of DBs, stored in one of the two) Sample sample = sampleService.findByAppleTransactionId(transactionId); Example example = exampleService.findByAppleTransactionId(transactionId); Boolean canRefund = false; // 3. Check consumption information if (sample != null) { canRefund = checkSampleStatusForApplePurchaseRefund(sample); } else if (example != null) { canRefund = checkExampleStatusForApplePurchaseRefund(example); } // 4. Create Refund Preferences RefundPreference refundPreference = determineRefundPreference(canRefund); // 5. Creating a ConsumptionRequest Object ConsumptionRequest request = new ConsumptionRequest() .refundPreference(refundPreference) .sampleContentProvided(true); log.info("forTest~ canRefund: {}", canRefund); log.info("forTest~ sample: {}", sample.toString()); log.info("forTest~ example: {}", example.toString()); log.info("forTest~ refundPreference: {}", refundPreference); log.info("forTest~ request: {}", request); // 6. Transfer to App Store (annotated with dummy requests that only confirm current business requests are going right) // appStoreServerAPIClient.sendConsumptionData(transactionId, request); }

We are using consumable in-app purchases. Starting from May 27th, we began receiving refund callbacks with the notificationType set to ONE_TIME_CHARGE immediately after users successfully completed a payment. { "notificationType": "ONE_TIME_CHARGE", "signedPayload": "..." } During this period, we did not make any changes to our App release or server-side purchase handling logic. Could this issue result in actual refunds being processed? What steps should we take to resolve this issue? We also noticed in your changelog that a new notification type ONE_TIME_CHARGE has been introduced. Can we safely ignore callbacks with the ONE_TIME_CHARGE notification type without affecting refund processing or user experience?

The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/apptransactionid From the documentation: "The App Store generates a single, globally unique appTransactionID for each Apple Account that downloads your app and for each family group member for apps that support Family Sharing." This seems like a really useful identifier, so I was wondering about some edge cases of when using it: What happens if a user logs out of his AppStore account and keeps using the app? Is it available when the app is installed from Xcode? is it possible to set it to some value using StoreKit testing? Thanks

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.

Please allow me to confirm the Server Notifications V2 specification. I am aware that if withdrawal an Apple account that has a subscription, the subscription will eventually be cancelled. Regarding Server Notifications V2 notifications with a notificationType of EXPIRED, am I correct in thinking that they will be sent when the subscription expires even if the Apple account is withdrawal?

I am trying use SKOverlay to promote an app, and I currently have the campaignToken field populated. However, even when installs happen from the SKOverlay, nothing shows up under that campaign token in App Store Connect. Is there something that I'm missing? I don't have the providerToken set.

After the user initiates the subscription payment, the SDK returns an error type: user cancels. When the user initiates the payment again, Apple will deduct the payment twice and successfully deduct the previously cancelled SKU. This is a recent occurrence with a large amount of data, and the app has not been upgraded in any way. We need to seek help. Thank you

I'm working on adding a single Non-Consumable In-App purchase to my app. Essentially a "try before you buy" type thing. Limited functionality unless the app is purchased. I am currently testing this using Xcode and the Manage StoreKit Transactions window. So far most everything appears to be working except for declined pending transactions. If I set Ask to Buy to Enabled, the Ask Permission (for parent or guardian) dialog appears. After pressing the Ask button, I see a transaction listed as Pending Approval. If I Approve the transaction, then my app is notified and all is well. However, if I Decline the transaction then my app is not notified. Is that normal? Also, how do I (i.e. the app) know that there is a pending transaction?
