# originalPurchaseDate

The date the customer originally purchased the app from the App Store.

```
let originalPurchaseDate: Date
```

## Discussion

The original purchase date remains the same, even if the customer deletes and reinstalls the app.

In the sandbox testing environment, the original purchase date is always 2013-08-01 12 AM PDT, which is 1375340400000 milliseconds in UNIX epoch time.
