SKAdNetwork 3.0 postbacks are not being delivered.
Hi To test SkAdNetwork, I installed the profile from the documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/testing-ad-attributions-with-a-downloaded-profile) on my ios device. and turned off and on Allow Apps to Request to Track to change the idfa value. In this state, I installed the app (bundle id: id436731843) using SKAdNetwork with the following values at April 8th AM 01 (UTC) SkAdnetwork version: 3.0 fidelity fidelity=0, nonce=b3346a51-f7b5-42a2-a508-775a62317c83, timestamp=1744076349671, signature=... fidelity=1, nonce=b3346a51-f7b5-42a2-a508-775a62317c83, timestamp=1744076349672, signature=... itunesitem=436731843 network=87u5trcl3r.skadnetwork sourceapp=1220307907 I was hoping to get a postback after , but after a day, the postback is still not delivered. Any idea why the postback is not delivered? Thank you

write-review URL query parameter does not work on macOS 15.2
I use the write-review query parameter in my App Store URL to bring up the review prompt in the App Store app: https://apps.apple.com/app/id0123456789?action=write-review (0123456789 is just an example ID, obviously replace that with your app ID) This is exactly what is supposed to be done as per the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requesting_app_store_reviews#4312600 However, on macOS it just opens the product page as if I never put the query parameter in the URL. It works fine on iOS 18.2. I am using macOS 15.2 beta 3 (24C5079e) Feedback ID: FB15866683

Submitting in-app purchases
I have got from App Review Team this same feedback during several months: Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness We are unable to complete the review of your app because one or more of your in-app purchase products have not been submitted for review. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please be sure to take action and submit your in-app purchases and upload a new binary in App Store Connect so we can proceed with our review. I am unable to understand and implement what is meant by the feedback: … take action … What "action" to take? … submit your in-app purchases … How to "submit in-app purchases"? I know how to submit my app but how "submitting in-app purchases”? My app contains no separate in-app purchases but several pathways through the app. The app's code contains three flags that act as signposts on user’s way through the app (Basic, Standard, Premium). The signposts are not extra content and features distributed on the App Store. They are existing parts in the app from the very beginning. They are activated according to the model user chooses (Basic, Standard, Premium) and loads down from the App Store. I try to solve the problem since several months - without success. Links offer no solution. Links say what one can do but not how to do it. What is missing are a couple of lines of code I can adapt and integrate into my app's Objective-C code. Best regards gefa

Is Family Sharing included in Transaction.currentEntitlements?
We have a user that's shared screenshots indicating that they're the recipient of a subscription to our app through Family Sharing, but when we look for the transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements there's nothing there, even after calling AppStore.sync. Should we expect to see a transaction in current entitlements? How can we determine whether it's our bug or Apple's?

Reporting your App Store Server Notifications issue
To receive server notifications from the App Store, follow the instructions in Enabling App Store Server Notifications. If your server doesn’t receive any notifications, check your server logs for any incoming web request issues, and confirm that your server supports the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 protocol or later. If you implement version 2 of App Store Server Notifications, call the Get Notification History endpoint. If there is an issue sending a notification, the endpoint returns the error the App Store received from your server. If your issue persists, submit a Feedback Assistant report with the following information: The bundleId or appAppleId of your app The date and time your issue occurred The raw HTTP body of your notification The affected transactionId(s) if applicable The version of App Store Server Notifications (i.e., Version 1 or Version 2) The environment (i.e., Production or Sandbox) To submit the report, perform these steps: Log into Feedback Assistant. Click on the Compose icon to create a new report. Select the Developer Tools & Resources topic. In the sheet that appears: Enter a title for your report. Select “App Store Server Notifications” from the “Which area are you seeing an issue with?” pop-up menu. Select “Incorrect/Unexpected Behavior” from the “What type of feedback are you reporting?” pop-up menu. Enter a description of your issue. Add the information gathered above to the sheet. Submit your report. After filing your report, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback Assistant ID. Use your Feedback Assistant ID to check for updates or resolutions. For more information, see Understanding feedback status.

How to use 'appStoreReceiptURL' to obtain players' paid purchase information and the purchased version
The application has changed from paid purchase to free use. We need to obtain the previous player's purchase records to unlock the paid content. //Here is the code for the client to obtain the player's payment information: NSURL * receiptURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]; if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[receiptURL path]]){ NSData *receiptData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:receiptURL]; NSString *receiptUrlString = [receiptData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64EncodingEndLineWithLineFeed]; NSLog(@"requestAppStoreReceipt receiptUrlString = %@", receiptUrlString); } else { // 如果凭证为空,则再发一次凭证请求 SKReceiptRefreshRequest *refreshReceiptRequest = [[SKReceiptRefreshRequest alloc] initWithReceiptProperties:@{}]; refreshReceiptRequest.delegate = self; [refreshReceiptRequest start]; NSLog(@"requestAppStoreReceipt 如果凭证为空,则再发一次凭证请求!"); } //The following is the server-side parsing code: Path filePath = Path.of("SubscriptionKey_ABCDEFGHIJ.p8"); String encodedKey = Files.readString(filePath); Environment environment = Environment.SANDBOX; AppStoreServerAPIClient client = new AppStoreServerAPIClient(encodedKey, keyId, issuerId, bundleId, environment); String appReceipt = "MIIcs..."; ReceiptUtility receiptUtil = new ReceiptUtility(); String transactionId = receiptUtil.extractTransactionIdFromTransactionReceipt(transactionReceipt); System.out.println(transactionId); if (transactionId != null) { long now = System.currentTimeMillis(); TransactionHistoryRequest request = new TransactionHistoryRequest() .sort(TransactionHistoryRequest.Order.DESCENDING) .revoked(false) .productTypes(List.of(TransactionHistoryRequest.ProductType.CONSUMABLE)); HistoryResponse response = null; List<String> transactions = new LinkedList<>(); do { String revision = response != null ? response.getRevision() : null; response = client.getTransactionHistory(transactionId, revision, request, GetTransactionHistoryVersion.V2); transactions.addAll(response.getSignedTransactions()); } while (response.getHasMore()); Set<InputStream> rootCAs = Set.of( new FileInputStream("AppleComputerRootCertificate.cer"), new FileInputStream("AppleIncRootCertificate.cer"), new FileInputStream("AppleRootCA-G2.cer"), new FileInputStream("AppleRootCA-G3.cer") ); Long appAppleId = 1234567899L; // appAppleId must be provided for the Production environment System.out.println(transactions.size()); SignedDataVerifier signedPayloadVerifier = new SignedDataVerifier(rootCAs, bundleId, appAppleId, environment, true); for (String notificationPayload : transactions) { try { AppTransaction payload = signedPayloadVerifier.verifyAndDecodeAppTransaction(notificationPayload); System.out.println(payload); } catch (VerificationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } //Return result analysis: JWSTransactionDecodedPayload{originalTransactionId='2000000641683476', transactionId='2000000641683476', webOrderLineItemId='null', bundleId='', productId='', subscriptionGroupIdentifier='null', purchaseDate=1719566962000, originalPurchaseDate=1719566962000, expiresDate=null, quantity=1, type='Consumable', appAccountToken=null, inAppOwnershipType='PURCHASED', signedDate=1728885967093, revocationReason=null, revocationDate=null, isUpgraded=null, offerType=null, offerIdentifier='null', environment='Sandbox', storefront='CHN', storefrontId='143465', transactionReason='PURCHASE', price=6000, currency='CNY', offerDiscountType='null', unknownFields=null} We have develop according to the following document on our end: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsbundle/1407276-appstorereceipturl#4098404 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_transaction_info/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/data_types We would like to know if the solutions in the document can be used to solve the problems we encountered? Is there a problem with our method of parsing bills that prevents us from obtaining the necessary information?

Issues with Subscription Validation using Apple APIs and Server Notifications
Hello, We’re implementing subscription validation on our server using Apple’s latest APIs and have run into a few issues and uncertainties. We are transitioning away from the deprecated /verifyReceipt endpoint and are now using the /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{transactionId} API. However, we have questions about how to handle transaction validation, particularly around older transactions and notification behavior in the sandbox environment. Additionally, we are facing challenges with Apple Server Notifications, especially regarding when we should expect to be notified of subscription cancellations or expirations. Below are the specific questions we hope the community can help us with: Question 1: We are using the inApps/v1/subscriptions/{transactionId} API to retrieve the subscription status and validate subscriptions on our server side, since the /verifyReceipt endpoint has been deprecated. This API always returns the last transaction for a subscription. Should we only validate the latest transaction, and is it guaranteed that even if we provide an older transaction ID, the API will always return the most up-to-date transaction information? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_all_subscription_statuses/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt Question 2: In the sandbox environment, we encountered an empty response when trying to validate a transaction ID. We are attempting to validate older transactions made by the user to keep our system and store subscriptions in sync. Could you provide guidance on why this might be happening and how we can validate older transactions? Question 3: We are using Apple Server Notifications to track subscription renewals and changes. However, when a user disables auto-renewal, we do not receive a webhook notification when the subscription actually expires or is canceled. We only get notified when the user changes their renewal preferences. Should we expect a separate notification when the subscription fully expires or is canceled, or is this behavior expected? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreservernotifications/notificationtype

How get the backend service get the fefund amount in the subscription plan "Upgrade" cases?
If a user applies for and is approved for a subscription refund by Apple, we understand that the developer can receive a server notification of "REFUND." However, this notification doesn't include the refund amount. Therefore, we thought about linking the refund amount information output in the financial report "All Countries or Regions (Detailed)" with individual end-user transaction information. However, it seems that this report doesn't have a transaction ID, and the records appear to be aggregated daily. Is there any way we can find out how much was refunded to which user for individual refunds? If a user applies for a subscription refund from Apple, are there cases where only a part of the plan, rather than the full amount, is refunded?

InApp purchases ok and ko at the same time (?!)
I'm working on an app the has implemented inapp purchases. They have been working so far, and they keep working currently. But just a couple of days ago, a specific user sent us a support ticket stating that when he purchases and item the bank charges it for the purchase, but within the app, the purchase fails and he doesn't receive the item. He sent us screenshots showing: The iOS native modal when a purchases has been finished correctly ("You're all set - Your purchase was successful "). Right after that modal, the app shows an internal modal showing "The purchase failed, please, try again later". Checking the app logs, that failure modal was triggered by "The operation couldn’t be completed. (StoreKit.StoreKitError error 1.)". Reading docs about this error leads me to think about device or user restrictions (parental controls, usage limits, etc...). It seems that in theses cases the bank charge could be issued but refunded later once Apple ultimately declines the purchase. However the user says that he doesn't have any kind of restriction. The only related thing is a "this device is also restricted by a profile" message, but everyone seems to have this message. What could it be causing this issue? In what scenariowould the app show a native OK modal but a storekit error 1? I'm pretty sure the app is well configured because I keep receiving purchases of all kind, from different users with any problem.

Products not showing in app
Hello everyone, I want to set up subscriptions but I'm having problems testing them. Indeed, when I use the storekit file to view the subscriptions it works, I see the subscriptions and I can subscribe in XCODE mode. However, I'd like to go further and test with server notifications. So I removed the storekit file from the scheme, but I can't retrieve the products. The application doesn't retrieve any products.. I've been stuck on it for 2 weeks... I checked the contracts and put in all the information last Friday and everything is validated. I tested it in testflight mode, and it doesn't recognize any products! Just so you know, I use the original API for maximum compatibility.

Could not find the main bundle or the Info.plist is missing a CFBundleIdentifier
I had a standalone python application (created with pyinstaller) which was working perfectly alone. This macOS application was created in VS. I later decided to improve the application by implementing some Swift features (Subscription Manager). This required me to write a brief Swift file (Subscription Management) in XCode which the Python file called on. Python Standalone Application Calling Swift : # Function to check if the user has a valid subscription def check_subscription(): subscription_manager_path = "/Users/isseyyohannes/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SubscriptionManager2-ezwjnnjruizvamaesqighyoxljmy/Build/Products/Debug/SubscriptionManager2" # Adjust path try: result = subprocess.run([subscription_manager_path], capture_output=True, text=True, check=True) return "VALID_SUBSCRIPTION" in result.stdout # Return True if valid, False otherwise except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e: print(f"Error checking subscription: {e}") return False # Return False if there's an issue However, when I try to run xcrun altool --validate-app ... I get the following error message. The error reads as follows Running altool at path '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/ContentDeliveryServices.framework/Frameworks/AppStoreService.framework/Support/altool'... 2025-02-16 11:02:21.089 *** Error: Validation failed for '/Users/isseyyohannes/Desktop/ALGORA Performance.app'. 2025-02-16 11:02:21.089 *** Error: Could not find the main bundle or the Info.plist is missing a CFBundleIdentifier in ‘/Users/isseyyohannes/Desktop/ALGORA Performance.app’. Unable to validate your application.

I am successfully able to notarize the application, just having issues submitting it. **It is worth noting I currently have a python executable calling on a file written in swift code and created in xcode. I created the python application with the following command on VS. pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole \ --icon="/Users/isseyyohannes/Downloads/E0BWowfbDkzEiEAckjsHAsYMzpdjjttT.icns" \ --codesign-identity "Developer ID Application: Issey Yohannes (GL5BCCW69X)" \ --add-binary="/Users/isseyyohannes/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SubscriptionManager2-ezwjnnjruizvamaesqighyoxljmy/Build/Products/Debug/SubscriptionManager2:." \ --osx-bundle-identifier com.algora1 \ /Users/isseyyohannes/Desktop/ALGORA\ Performance.py Note : All steps on Apple Developer site are done (ex.

Sandbox accounts in production being used for Fraud
Starting a few months ago, we noticed that we are receiving sign-ups to our application using Sandbox accounts. These accounts were not created by us, and certainly do not show up under Sandbox users on App Store Connect. When we setup In App Payment, our server side validation followed the guidance to always allow sandbox receipts (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt). I think we assumed that only Sandbox users that we setup in App Store connect would be allowed to be used with our app. Another assumption was that Apple reviewers could create Sandbox accounts to use to test our IAP sign-up during app review. How are other developers preventing fraudulent sign-ups from sandbox accounts? Has something changed with In App Payments this year related to sandbox accounts?
