Sorry but I'm not good at English.
Is the originalTransactionId received for the same subscription by the same user the same in Store Kit v1 and Store Kit 2?
Also, will the originalTransactionId be the same even if the subscription price is changed?

My server's access to Apple's payment interface (buy. itunes. apple. com/verifiyReceipt) has been unresponsive since the end of March, and I have been searching for a long time without finding any issues. Normally, even if the data is incorrect, there is still a {"status": 21000} response. We are using Alibaba Cloud's virtual servers here. I don't know if Apple has made any adjustments to the interface. If anyone has encountered this problem, please kindly help to answer it. Thank you all.

Product.SubscriptionInfo.isEligibleForIntroOffer(for: "21340582")
In the production environment, I have already used the intro offer for this group, but this method still returns true
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.
Dear Apple Support,
We are currently in the process of migrating from Apple Server Notifications v1 to v2. As you know, once we switch from v1 to v2 in App Store Connect, this change is irreversible. Our team needs to ensure that our backend environment, developed in Python with Django and using the app-store-server-library==1.5.0, is fully prepared to handle all possible notification types before making that final switch.
While we can receive a basic test notification from Apple, it doesn’t provide the range of data or scenarios (e.g., INITIAL_BUY, RENEWAL, GRACE_PERIOD, etc.) that our code must be able to process, store in our database, and respond to accordingly. Without comprehensive, example-rich raw notification data, we are left guessing the structure and full scope of incoming v2 notifications.
Could you please provide us with a set of raw, fully representative notification payloads for every notification type supported in v2? With these examples, we can simulate the entire lifecycle of subscription events, verify our logic, and confidently complete our migration.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
StoreKit 2: jwsRepresentation Validation, Rate-Limit Relief, and Send Consumption Info Effectiveness
Hi everyone,
We operate an online game where all in-app assets are stored server-side and require a logged-in account (no device binding). I’d like guidance on four areas:
Do we really need deviceVerification / deviceVerificationNonce?
– Because every purchase is tied to an account and we enforce a global transactionId UNIQUE constraint, replay or cross-account reuse appears infeasible. Under these conditions, is omitting device verification acceptable, or are there situations where Apple still recommends it?
Permanent rate-limit increase for the App Store Server API
– During anniversary events we saw bursts of ~18 000 requests per hour, breaching the current hourly cap on the App Store Server API (verifyTransaction, getNotificationHistory, etc.). Is there a formal process to request a long-term rate-limit expansion (or an alternative tier) from Apple?
When is an App Store Server API call required for a StoreKit 2 jwsRepresentation?
Docs say “call the API if you’re unsure,” but there’s no clear cut-off. Because we fully validate the JWS signature plus the entire certificate chain (including CRL/OCSP checks) on our server, local cryptographic validation seems sufficient for consumables. For subscriptions we still plan to hit the API to fetch the latest status. Does this separation match Apple’s best practice?
If Apple does recommend hitting the API for consumables as well, we’d like a concrete rule of thumb—e.g. “if the item price is USD 50 or higher, always use the API.” Is establishing such thresholds consistent with Apple’s intent?
Refund-risk reduction from Send Consumption Info
– Adapty reports a 40–60 % refund-rate drop for subscriptions when using Send Consumption Info (blog reference). Can we expect similar reduction for consumable IAP in social/online games? Any real-world results would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Hi everyone,
We’ve encountered an issue in some of our games where IAP purchases made using UPI are going into a pending state. Since these purchases are for consumable items, the rewards are not granted at the time of purchase.
Even after the transactions are eventually confirmed, the rewards still aren't received.
We tested this with two separate UPI transactions, and both resulted in the same pending state issue.
Interestingly, when we tried making a purchase using Apple Wallet afterward, the transaction completed successfully on the first attempt, without any pending state.
This issue seems specific to UPI transactions.
Could anyone help us understand why this is happening or if there’s a recommended way to handle such cases?
Thanks in advance!

After I configured a consumable subscription(In App Purchases) on the apple platform, when I change the price in the App's server, is there any existing apple Api support to change the price on the apple platform? Of course, I know I need to resubmit.
In my understanding, with the latest court ruling in the US, iOS apps may decide to support web-based payments for subscriptions and in-app purchases. However, are we allowed to exclusively support web-based payments and not implement StoreKit at all?

In-App Purchase
Hello,
I'm encountering an issue when trying to use the subscriptionGroupLookups endpoint in the App Store Connect API.
Despite having the correct setup, I continue to receive a 404 NOT FOUND error when making requests to:
GET https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/subscriptionGroupLookups
Here is the current state of my environment:
I am the Account Holder of the App Store Connect account
The App Store Connect API key has been successfully created
I have the correct Key ID, Issuer ID, and .p8 private key
I can authenticate and access the apps and subscriptionGroups endpoints
However, the subscriptionGroupLookups endpoint always returns:
{
"errors": [
{
"status": "404",
"code": "NOT_FOUND",
"title": "The specified resource does not exist"
}
]
}
I suspect that LookUp Keys (UUIDs) have not been assigned to our subscription groups, even though they were created and are active in App Store Connect.
There is no “Request Access” button visible under the Integrations tab (as mentioned in Apple support instructions), and my keys appear under “App Store Connect API” > “Keys” as active.
Questions:
How can I ensure that LookUp Keys are assigned to my subscription groups?
Is there a way to trigger this manually or via support?
Has anyone successfully resolved this?
Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Our app server has subscription feature and processes purchase life cycles based on App Store Server Notification v1.
Last year, when users purchased subscriptions during the following timeframe, we received "INITIAL_BUY" notifications with "unified_receipt.Latest_receipt_info.purchase_date" set to future date(approx. 1 hour after the actual purchase).
2024-11-03 08:00:00 - 2024-11-03 09:00:00 Etc/GMT (UTC)
For example, we received the following v1 notification at 2024-11-03 08:36:33 Etc/GMT.
"notification_type": "INITIAL_BUY"
"unified_receipt.latest_receipt_info[].purchase_date": "2024-11-03 09:36:02 Etc/GMT"
Our server grants subscription entitlement based on "purchase_date" so the users had to wait 1 hour before the subscription features became available.
The timeframe coincided with the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., so we assume that it affected the behavior, but our country doesn't adopt daylight saving time.
We have some questions regarding this behavior.
In countries without daylight saving time, how should we handle such notifications with future purchase date in order to properly grant subscription entitlement?
In App Store Server Notification v2, could purchase date be set to future date at the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., just as in v1 notifications?

I ran into a problem. When using Storekit1 to purchase an SKU, the user payment was successful, but StoreKit1 did return paymentCancelled to my App. I would like to know under what circumstances this problem may occur? How do I fix it? Thank you
Hello, I’m trying to change my business model within the app, and following Apple’s documentation guidelines HERE I created this task in the main view of the app. It seems to work perfectly in the simulator, on physical devices, and on TestFlight. However, after releasing it to production and uploading the new version to the App Store, it doesn’t work, and all users, whether new or existing, are asked to subscribe. In the console, it appears to retrieve the transactions correctly, but in production, I’m not sure how to view the console or see what it’s retrieving.
Here the sandbox receipt I obtained
AppTransaction.shared obtained: {
"applicationVersion" : "1",
"bundleId" : "com.anestesiaIB.Drugs-Infusion-Calc",
"deviceVerification" : "6M0Nnw14nSEOBVTPE\/\/EfnWSwLm7LFSlrpFEwxgH74SBHp5dSzBEm896Uvo42mwr",
"deviceVerificationNonce" : "8a8238c0-0aee-41e6-bfb0-1cfc52b70fb6",
"originalApplicationVersion" : "1.0",
"originalPurchaseDate" : 1375340400000,
"receiptCreationDate" : 1737577840917,
"receiptType" : "Sandbox",
"requestDate" : 1737577840917
}
This are the processing log while verified the receipt
New business model change: 1.7
Original versionéis components: ["1", "0"]
Major version: 1, Minor version: 0
This user is premium. Original version: 1.0
This is my task...
.task {
do {
let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared
if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared {
let newBusinessModelVersion = (1, 7) // Representado como (major, minor)
let versionComponents = appTransaction.originalAppVersion.split(separator: ".")
if let majorVersion = versionComponents.first.flatMap({ Int($0) }),
let minorVersion = versionComponents.dropFirst().first.flatMap({ Int($0) }) {
if (majorVersion, minorVersion) < newBusinessModelVersion {
self.premiumStatus.isPremium = true
isPremium = true
} else {
let customerInfo = try await Purchases.shared.customerInfo()
self.premiumStatus.isPremium = customerInfo.entitlements["premium"]?.isActive == true
isPremium = self.premiumStatus.isPremium
}
} else {
print("Error: obteining version components")
}
} else {
print("Not verified")
}
} catch {
print("Error processing transaction: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
When simulating a Storekit error like an invalid device verification or others of that type, should we finish a failed transaction? When I test with a Storekit configuration file, all failed transactions persist after every restart. The Apple-provided sample code for Storekit 2 has transactions finished only when they are successful.
I have setup offer codes and subscriptions for users to purchase, when a user signs up using an offer code outside of the app the offer code does not save into my database where the subscriptions are saved
the transaction is successful and validated by store kit but I cant see that that user used an offer code - an example
https://apps.apple.com/redeem/?ctx=offercodes&id=6744338284&code=ASKDOM
I then setup an edge function in supabase to retrieve the data that store kit sends back and im not sure where to find the offer code as it still doesnt save
is there an internal apple reference that they use as apposed to the users offer code i.e offer code askdomSA = P3050 for example
how can Identify if an offer code was used
thank you
I'm developing storekitV2, my app is providing the way to refund some product, and I use method below.
func beginRefundRequest(in scene: UIWindowScene) async throws -> Transaction.RefundRequestStatus
however when i call the method, the modal view presented but the view shows error with message 'cannot connect'. when I select retry button, something done with indicator and get same result.
how can I solve this problem?
Product.SubscriptionInfo.isEligibleForIntroOffer(for: "21340582")
In the production environment, I have already used the intro offer for this group, but this method still returns true.
I have an app which is already on App Store with In-app purchase. Now I want to integrate In-app purchase in my another app for the same products as in the existing app. Both the apps are using same Apple Account. Can I reuse those Product Ids from the first app in the second one. If yes, what is the ways to use them.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I recently saw this error from StoreKit in the Console - 'Invalid value for purchase intake' - while debugging a SKPayment subscription issue (where a valid receipt should be verified and restored, but isn't for one user).
I haven't been able to find any documentation about this message and wondered if it was related at all.
There were two other logs from StoreKit right before saying:
'Found 3 products in receipt with ID'
'Processing ad attribution purchase intake'
Does anyone know what 'invalid value for purchase intake' is referencing?
We don't have the AdAttributionKit implemented. It sounds like it might be related to that instead?
Thank you
Hi there,
We have an app targeted for children and we want to use the SkAdNetwork to track installs for campaigns.
We don't want to track further in-app events (purchase etc.), just the install event.
We added the SDK to our Unity app, listed the network identifiers in the plist file, configured the external campaign according to their instructions, but struggle to see any events for several weeks now.
We see the following logs in the app:
Registering install attribution pingback.
Failed to migrate Install Attribution database schema from 17001 => 17400.
SkAdNetwork: No pingbacks found while attempting to register/update.
Error setting install attribution pingback registered for app: 1509727806, error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain code=1208
How can we debug this further? What does the error mean?
Thank you very much!
(I hope I posted in the correct forum topic. Apologies if not)
