I am developing and testing Apple Promotional Offers and encountered issues during implementation. Purchase Failure When using the following API, the promotional purchase sheet is displayed, but after attempting payment, the transaction fails. API: public static func promotionalOffer( offerID: String, keyID: String, nonce: UUID, signature: Data, timestamp: Int ) -> Product.PurchaseOption Observed behavior: Alert shows: Unable to Purchase [Environment: Xcode] Not Eligible for Offer Console logs: AMSErrorDomain Code=305 ASDErrorDomain Code=3903 Discount Not Applied When calling this API, there are no errors, but the promotional price is not applied, and the user still sees the original price. API: public static func promotionalOffer( _ offerID: String, compactJWS: String ) -> [Product.PurchaseOption] Questions Does Promotional Offers support testing with .storekit files in Xcode? Can Promotional Offers be tested with sandbox accounts using real offers configured in App Store Connect? How should I troubleshoot and resolve the above issues? • Could it be related to the subscription history of the sandbox account? • Do I need to use TestFlight instead of Xcode to test certain scenarios? • Could this be caused by signature parameters or StoreKit configuration?

I am an app developer, and I have implemented in-app purchases in my application. When a user completes a purchase, Apple displays a success popup. After the user taps "OK", I send the receiptData to my server to add points to their account. However, I have encountered cases where users either exit the app before tapping "OK" or experience network issues, preventing the receipt from being sent to my server. As a result, they do not receive their points. Later, some users send me a receipt from Apple Pay, claiming that the payment was successful. These receipts include details such as the orderId, email, and other transaction information. However, I am not certain whether the user actually completed the payment but encountered an issue, or if they are providing a fraudulent receipt. My question: How can I verify the authenticity of these receipts? Is there an official way to check if a given Apple Pay invoice corresponds to a real in-app purchase in my app? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

I would like to clarify that my app is a Reader APP and a hybrid application built with Vue.js and Capacitor. To comply with Apple’s guidelines, I am not using any third-party SDKs for account management or payments. Instead, I am attempting to use the official StoreKit External Link Account API as required. To achieve this, I created a custom native Capacitor plugin in Swift, which calls the StoreKit 2 classes (SKStoreExternalLinkAccountRequest and SKStoreExternalLinkAccountViewController) to present the required modal before redirecting users to manage their accounts externally. However, I am encountering a technical issue: When building the app in Xcode 16 (with iOS Deployment Target set to 16+), the Swift compiler cannot find the StoreKit 2 classes (SKStoreExternalLinkAccountRequest and SKStoreExternalLinkAccountViewController). I have attached a screenshot showing the error in Xcode. Could you please clarify if there are any additional requirements or steps needed to access these StoreKit 2 APIs in a hybrid (Capacitor/Vue) app? Is there any limitation for hybrid apps, or is there a specific configuration needed in Xcode or the project to make these APIs available? I am committed to fully complying with Apple’s guidelines and want to ensure the best and safest experience for my users. Any guidance or documentation you can provide would be greatly appreciated. my plugin: my app in xcode - build failed I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

The development subscription management screen for managing your sandbox account subscriptions is today showing products that belong to other apps. Is there a known issue right now? Created a FB with screenshots FB FB20199893

hello, I have an app with In-App purchase set up, it works fine in TestFlight on an iOS device but the download from the App Store gives me a transaction failed message. I tried to replicate in the simulator but from what I've read is that you can't do in-app purchase testing in the simulator. Perhaps I'm wrong here but I've tried multiple sandbox accounts, etc.. and still get an unusual "...password can't be reused..." error (pasted below) in the debug description. I'm curious if anyone else has dealt with this scenario and if so how did you go about researching/identifying the issue and/or resolving it. Partial error message: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x60000000e370>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=530 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x600000c74750 {Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=100 "Authentication Failed The authentication failed."

Hello, I have two auto-renewable subscriptions set up in App Store Connect. However, when I try to use SubscriptionStoreView, I receive the following error: Subscription store should include at least one auto-renewable subscription. I believe my .xcodeproj is misconfigured, as I created a new project since I wanted to start from scratch. What am I missing?

This is a hybrid app built with JavaScript (Vue) + Capacitor. It is a reader app and has been authorized by Apple to use the External Link Account Entitlement, allowing users to manage their subscriptions outside of the app. I have implemented the External Link Account API. When I click on "Gerenciar Assinatura em...", I use the External Link Account API to check if the modal is available (using ExternalLinkAccount.canOpen()). I always get "false". my plugin in swift: my app: I believe this is due to the fact that I am in a development environment. My project is configured correctly in the following files: info.plist and App.entitlements. I also have the authorization in my profile visible in Xcode. I have attached screenshots for validation. The question is: should the External Link Account API work in a test environment? I am testing the build in Xcode with a physical iPhone with iOS 18. file info.plist: file App.entitlements: xcode with authorization in my profile: If you could let me know if I am doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have non-consumable and consumable in-app purchases in my app. The tutorial I was following stated Transaction.currentEntitlements includes unfinished consumables, which is incorrect according to the documentation. Is the correct way to handle unfinished consumables (and non-consumables) to implement Transaction.updates and call finish() if it’s verified? The documentation says that listener will receive unfinished transactions once upon app launch, so with that, do I understand correctly you do not need to implement Transaction.unfinished unless you want to look for unfinished transactions manually later on? Otherwise what is the correct and most recommended way to handle unfinished consumables? Is there a way to test that scenario in Xcode?

When creating a subscription charging system for an iOS app, I am trying to change the display to yen, dollars, or euros depending on the user's country. I am using [priceLocale] of [SKProduct] in [StoreKit] to obtain currency information linked to the Apple account from the App Store and change the display. The smartphone I am testing on uses an Apple account created in Japan, and the nationality of the App Store is also set to Japan, so I expect the display to be in yen. As a result, the TestFligh version displayed dollars, but the official release version displayed yen. Why doesn't the TestFligh version display yen?

Because of historical reasons we have the same app with different bundle identifiers in different App Stores, e. g. one in Germany and one in Poland and one in France. Every app offers a monthly and a yearly in app subscription. We want to consolidate our apps and user base and want to have only one app in the end. The question is now: Can Apple make the monthly/daily subscriptions from e. g. the app in the store in Poland available or migrate them to the german app in the german App Store when we make the "german" app available also in Poland? The final goal would be that a user who bought a subscription in the polish store would have the subscription also available on his Apple ID in the german store. Is this possible? Can Apple make this possible?

Hi, I've been unable to successfully test in the sandbox environment for a StoreKit 2 subscription group and can't seem to find the missing piece. I am calling the following line of code: let products = try await Product.products(for: [subscriptionID]) Expected behavior: The product is returned in the products array. Actual result: The array is empty I have done the following: Successfully tested our logic using a storekit configuration file locally in Xcode. Created the Subscription group in App Store Connect. The subscription product is currently "Waiting for Review", but it is our first so will not be approved without being attached to a distribution build review. Created a Sandbox user account in App Store Connect -> Users -> Sandbox Signed into the sandbox user account in Settings -> Developer -> Sandbox Apple Account Signed the Paid Apps Agreement for our organization A few debugging notes: I deleted all apps before installing from Xcode I've tried both locally and in TestFlight builds Restarted my device Verified productID matches the productID in App Store Connect I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

My app has a couple of consumable IAP items. I have tested this extensively and it works in all test scenarios including loads of beta testers using testflight. However, Apple's production reviewer reports that loading of the products hangs in their setup. This is very frustrating as I have no means of recreating the problem. My first product was tested ok an all my IAP items are approved for release. However, I did not explicitly assign them to my build. I read somewhere that you need to do that but could not find in App Store Connect after my first product was approved. Below is the relevant code section. What am I missing? class DonationManager: NSObject, ObservableObject, SKProductsRequestDelegate, SKPaymentTransactionObserver { @Published var products: [SKProduct] = [] // This is observed by a view. But apparently that view never gets populated in Apple's production review setup @Published var isPurchasing: Bool = false @Published var purchaseMessage: String? = nil let productIDs: Set<String> = ["Donation_5", "Donation_10", "Donation_25", "Donation_50"] override init() { super.init() SKPaymentQueue.default().add(self) fetchProducts() } deinit { SKPaymentQueue.default().remove(self) } func fetchProducts() { print("Attempting to fetch products with IDs: \(productIDs)") let request = SKProductsRequest(productIdentifiers: productIDs) request.delegate = self request.start() } func productsRequest(_ request: SKProductsRequest, didReceive response: SKProductsResponse) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.products = response.products.sorted { $0.price.compare($1.price) == .orderedAscending } print("Successfully fetched \(self.products.count) products.") if !response.invalidProductIdentifiers.isEmpty { print("Invalid Product Identifiers: \(response.invalidProductIdentifiers)") self.purchaseMessage = NSLocalizedString("Some products could not be loaded. Please check App Store Connect.", comment: "") } else if self.products.isEmpty { print("No products were fetched. This could indicate a problem with App Store Connect configuration or network.") self.purchaseMessage = NSLocalizedString("No products available. Please try again later.", comment: "") } } } ...and the view showing the items: @StateObject private var donationManager = DonationManager() var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 24) { Spacer() // Donation options ------------------- if donationManager.products.isEmpty { ProgressView(NSLocalizedString("Loading donation options...", comment: "")) .foregroundColor(DARK_BROWN) .italic() .font(.title3) .padding(.top, 16) } else { ForEach(donationManager.products, id: \.self) { product in Button(action: { donationManager.buy(product: product) }) { HStack { Image(systemName: "cup.and.saucer.fill") .foregroundColor(.pink) Text("\(product.localizedTitle) \(product.priceLocale.currencySymbol ?? "$")\(product.price)") } .buttonStyle() } .disabled(donationManager.isPurchasing) } }

Hello all! My application written with C++ and using StoreKit1. For now my application using bridge C++/Objective-CPP/Objective-C/Swift. Since StoreKit1 declared "deprecated" got a question of how to implement correctly StoreKit2 in C++ application, mostly everything about Renewable Subscriptions. StoreKit2 have no direct API in Objective-C, it's available only in Swift. Which is the way the best and correct way: -- for on-device writing C library and in it implement Swift? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 into library itself? -- for on-device somehow write kind of wrapper for Swift StoreKit 2 within translation of all of objects in Objective-C and implement it with C++/Objective-CPP bridge? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 in C++ project written with CMake? Here https://github.com/compnerd/swift-cmake-examples/tree/main the one of the examples of interoperability C++/Swift with CMake. But how to use exactly with StoreKit2? -- only using server side solution?

I have an iOS app with a main target and an app extension. I want the app extension to write data to the SwiftData in App Groups, while the main target reads the data. However, currently, the app extension only has permission to read data, not to write it.Is the issue due to my incorrect configuration or an Apple-imposed restriction?

I'm encountering a crash on app launch. The crash is observed in iOS version 17.6 but not in iOS version 18.5. The only new notable thing I added to this app version was migrate to store kit 2.

Dear my friends, I have set up two subscriptions (monthly and annual) in App Store Connect. By configuring with StoreKit, I can import the configurations from App Store Connect into the local .storekit file, and the program can run normally. However, when the StoreKit configuration is set to NONE, I am unable to retrieve product information from App Store Connect. The code for fetching the product list is as follows. Could you please provide suggestions on how to proceed? Thank you very much! private let productIds: [String] = ["subscription.year", "subscription.monthly"] subscriptions = try await Product.products(for: productIds)

I'm using Swift to verify receipts in myObjective C Mac Application using the following code: @objc class MyAppTransaction: NSObject{ @objc class func checkReceipt() async -> String { do { let verificationResult = try await AppTransaction.shared switch verificationResult { case .verified(_): return "VERIFIED" case .unverified(_, _): return "NO RECEIPT" } } catch { return "ERROR" //(StoreKit.StoreKitError) unknown } } } Starting today with my upgrade to Sequoia 15.4 and XCode 16.3 receipt validation is broken. The function is going to the catch and returning "ERROR" I can't set a break point in the do {} but if I set one at the return "ERROR", in the debugger error = (StoreKit.StoreKitError) unknown. the Compiler logs an error:Failed to parse AppTransaction: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.AppTransaction.Key.appTransactionID], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue). Reading the developer documentation I can't find anything about these struct members. I tried to use refresh() to get a receipt like I used to with exit(173) but the compiler says refresh () not found. This is extremely troubling because I can't debug my receipt validation code and I don't know if this will happen to my users. Do I just have to trust Apple that my users will have an application with a receipt attached? What can I do?

Hi 👋! I want to switch the business model in my app from premium to freemium and do it gracefully for existing users. Essentially, I wish to provide newly-paywalled content for free to existing paid users (people who bought the original app). It seems clear that I should be using appTransaction's originalAppVersion property to check against purchases made in a previous version of the app, per the documentation. However, there seems to be broad confusion over whether originalAppVersion returns the version number or the build number and how to test for it. Examples of confusion can be found here, here and here. This lack of clarity seems especially dangerous due to the difficulty in testing these values. In the sandbox originalAppVersion returns 1.0 by default, so whether you design for version number or build number, you'll always return a positive as long as your value is more than 1. There is a real risk to unknowingly either never identify previous premium users or accidentally identify everyone as premium (essentially giving away your app for free). For example, my app's current version number is 1.4.0 and build number is 18, so 1.4.0 (18). As this is a major change, for this new update I might as well go for version number 2.0.0, and let's say I release the app with build number 5, so 2.0.0 (5). If I expect originalAppVersion to return the version number, I would match it against 2, because anything before 2.0.0 needs to be marked as premium. However, if I expect the build number, I should check against 19 and respectively bump up my build number: 5 -> 19. In the standard version/build "v.v.v (b)" format, does originalAppVersion return app version or app build? If it indeed does return build, and not version, I guess I'll start all of my future build numbers from 100 just in case: 2.0.0 (100). The only way I imagine I can test this is to print the value on the visual interface in a live version of the app, and ask a random user 🤷‍♂️.

Regarding App Store Server Notifications V2,we are currently using Notifications V2 in a production environment. It is set up so that if the server receives the notification successfully, it returns 200 after about 30 seconds, and if an error occurs, it returns 400 or 500. However, the notification is being resent multiple times from Apple's server, at 1 hour, 12 hours, and 24 hours. Is it necessary to return the notification using Apple's API?

I just converted my App to Freemium, but the method is used to give user, that bought the App before it was free, access to the paid futures seems not to be working. I am getting the original Purchase Date from the AppTransaction (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/originalpurchasedate) and comparing that to a set date where the App Model changed. In Test Flight this is working without any Problems but on the Live System, users that have purchased the App do not get access! let shared = try await AppTransaction.refresh() if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared { result(appTransaction.originalPurchaseDate.ISO8601Format()). } I am using flutter to develop the App and the result()... send the string back to the flutter side. Here is the code of the Flutter side: Future<void> restorePurchases() async { SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.pending); await InAppPurchase.instance.restorePurchases(); if (Platform.isIOS) { DateTime changedToFreemium = DateTime.utc(2025, 4, 7, 11, 0, 0); String? purchaseDateRaw = await IosFlutterChannel().getOriginalPurchaseDate(); if (kDebugMode) { print("Purchase Date Raw: $purchaseDateRaw"); } if (purchaseDateRaw != null) { DateTime purchaseDate = DateTime.parse(purchaseDateRaw); if (purchaseDate.isBefore(changedToFreemium)) { if (kDebugMode) { print("Restoring legacy purchases"); } SubscriptionProvider().update(true, SubscriptionStatus.active, SubscriptionType.fs_lifetime); } else { if (kDebugMode) { print("Not restoring legacy purchases"); } } } } SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.purchased); } Console Log when running in Test Environment: flutter: Purchase Date Raw: 2013-08-01T07:00:00Z flutter: Restoring legacy purchases Thanks!
