is there any error in sandbox auto renewal when Im test a app subscription automatically cancelled

After the release of StoreKit 2.0, the in-app purchase failure rate increased by 63.19%, with the majority of errors being StoreKitError.unknown. When encountering this error, many users repeatedly attempt to make a purchase, but the outcome remains unchanged, resulting in the same unknown error. In some cases, users who wait approximately 2 minutes before retrying the purchase may either succeed or encounter the following error: “StoreKit.StoreKitError.systemError(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.storekitd”)”. This issue has directly impacted our app's purchasing flow. Because our app only displays the promotional purchase offer once, these issues have significantly reduced the number of users successfully completing the offer. As a result, the conversion rate for this promotion has dropped well below expectations, negatively impacting our business metrics.

The sample code provided in https://developer.apple.com/wwdc21/10114 doesn't appear to call finish() on unverified transactions, and I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding what to do with unfinished transactions. However, Apple has always emphasized the importance of finishing transactions, and since a transaction object is provided even with the unverified state, I'd love some guidance!

Hello, I have 2 subscription group. Each group have different plans and promotional offer. I was set 1 month free promotional offer in all plans. While I subscribe any plan IAP sheet is not showing 1 month free promotional offer. I already used with new sandbox account. How can I get promotional offer in IAP sheet?

After game restart first purchase is contained in receipt but the next ones is the same as first one so new purchases is not added. I afraid players can be charged for purchase but on my server I will not receive new purchases instead receipt with old one so they can do not receive in game currency. Will in production I receive a receipts with new consumable every time player purchase it? I use Unity3d In-app purchasing 5.0.1.

Hello, Our server isn't receiving Apple App Store Server Notification for in-app purchases. It works for Sandbox Server, even I sent a test notification which I received on the Production Server URL, but the real in-app payment notification isn't coming to the server. I checked this already: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreservernotifications/enabling-app-store-server-notifications and everything here has been reviewed. Transport Layer Security (TLS) version and others things mentioned have been checked, test notification was received. But the main in-app purchase notification for live transaction isn't coming. What's the issue precisely?

Appium can't see any locators of 'Sandbox' view in case of purchase page automation try. iOS 18.x. On version 17.x the elements could be found

Hello everyone, For example, our app currently has one subscription group in App Store Connect with 5 plans (2 annual, 2 monthly, and 1 quarterly). By default, users can go into Apple Subscriptions in Settings and freely switch between all of these plans. However, our business requirement is to only allow users to stay on one annual plan and one quarterly plan. We don’t want them to switch to the other plans. My questions are: Is there any best practice or recommended approach to restrict subscription switching within the same group? Would removing the unwanted products from sale be the correct approach, or are there any risks/downsides with this method? Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a practical solution? Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My apps stuck on review stage. Reason of it is Guideline 2.3.2 - Performance - Accurate Metadata We noticed that your promotional image to be displayed on the App Store does not sufficiently represent the associated promoted in-app purchase. Specifically, we found the following issue with your promotional image: – Your promotional image is the same as your app’s icon. The problem is i can't change this image. My subscription is still in 'in review' stage and I don't have option like delete image or change image. I replied to the review explaining that I cannot change it as long as the subscription is under review, but I haven’t received any meaningful reply, except that I need to change promotion image to be eligible for further review(which i cant do because i haven't option to change this image). Has anyone had such a problem before?

I am working on a banking application (includes iPhone and iPad) which includes add to wallet feature. During the implementation I saw one document it is mentioned that for iPad app, the app must be extended to support Apple pay functionality. Details from document says "Card Issuers with an iOS mobile banking app must support Card Issuer iOS Wallet extension functionality to enable Card issuer mobile app customers to provision new cards directly from the iOS Wallet app with all eligible Apple iOS devices. If the Card Issuer has a dedicated iPad App, that App must be extended to support Apple Pay functionality. " Is wallet extension implementation required for Apple pay to work in iPhone and iPad? Is wallet extension a mandatory implementation for Add to Apple Wallet feature to work and approved by Apple? I am little confused in this. Anyone who integrated Apple pay or done add to Apple Wallet feature recently without wallet extension faced any rejection? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am working on a Unity iOS app. I am adding in-app purchasing in my app. I have added Unity IAP to the Unity project, as well as the code for initialising and purchasing a subscription with the product ID. I have also added my certificates and provisioning profile in Xcode with in-app purchasing capabilities. Also, I have set up an App Store Connect page with a non-renewing subscription with a unique product ID and all required information. The subscription status is ready to submit. I have added a sandbox tester account in it. In unity editor, it is working fine with fake purchase receipt. While testing in an iOS device, apple ID is logged out. But there is an error occurs everytime : IAP not initialized. Also I have uploaded a newer version of app on app store connect, it is in waiting for review status. Is there any step or something I am missing that it is not working in iOS device? Please help

On iOS 26 beta 3, after a user purchases an item, initiating a second order for the same product fails to process payment. The system returns the same transaction ID and displays an interface message stating: "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase. It will be restored for free."​​ ​​I’ve tested this – not only did the legacy StoreKit finishTransaction method fail to work, but StoreKit2 finish method also malfunctioned.​​ ​​When will Apple fix this issue? If unresolved, it will prevent a large number of users from making purchases normally, leading to disastrous consequences.​

It seems that beta 3 broke StoreKit Testing when running against an iOS 26 simulator device. Specifically, when validating product IDs, the debug console displays messages like the following: [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) [492a4cfa_SK1] Could not parse product: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.ProductResponse.Key.price], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue) In addition, the SKProductsResponse (I am using the original StoreKit API), lists all requested product IDs in invalidProductIdentifiers. The products array is empty. StoreKit Testing behaves as expected when Xcode 26 beta 3 is run against an iOS 18.4 simulator device.

Hi, I'm using the AppTransaction.shared API to retrieve the originalAppVersion, but I'm encountering issues for users who originally installed the app in 2017. Specifically, the property doesn't seem to return the expected value (or returns nil) for these older accounts. I have verified this issue using a real App Store purchase from 2017. Steps to Reproduce: Use a test account that originally downloaded the app in 2017. Call: let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared print(shared.originalAppVersion) Observe that originalAppVersion is missing or not returned correctly. Any insights on whether this is expected behavior for very old App Store purchases, or if there is a workaround to reliably detect the original app version? Thanks in advance!

Dear Apple Support Team, Hello! I am currently developing the in-app subscription functionality using Apple IAP API and have encountered a serious technical issue while processing subscription data. I would like to report this issue to you. Issue Description: When calling the subscription API endpoint, the same OriginalTransactionId returns inconsistent results. Specifically, a particular transaction ID (let's call it TransactionId_A) should belong to the subscription order with OriginalTransactionId_A, but it is currently incorrectly associated with OriginalTransactionId_B. This issue severely affects our ability to accurately manage and process subscription data. Here are the relevant log details for your reference: API Endpoint Requested: https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/subscriptions/{TransactionId_A} (Note: The link is a placeholder for the actual API endpoint.) Log Information on February 21, 2025, at 09:40:09: { "AppAccountToken": "{AppAccountToken}", "BundleId": "{BundleId}", "Currency": "CNY", "Environment": "Production", "ExpiresDate": {ExpiresDate}, "InAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "IsUpgraded": false, "OfferDiscountType": "", "OfferIdentifier": "", "OfferType": 0, "OriginalPurchaseDate": {OriginalPurchaseDate}, "OriginalTransactionId": "{OriginalTransactionId_A}", "Price": {Price}, "ProductId": "{ProductId}", "PurchaseDate": {PurchaseDate}, "Quantity": 1, "RevocationDate": 0, "RevocationReason": 0, "SignedDate": {SignedDate}, "Storefront": "CHN", "StorefrontId": {StorefrontId}, "SubscriptionGroupIdentifier": "{SubscriptionGroupIdentifier}", "TransactionId": "{TransactionId_A}", "TransactionReason": "PURCHASE", "Type": "Auto-Renewable Subscription", "WebOrderLineItemId": "{WebOrderLineItemId}" } Log Information on March 21, 2025, at 09:38:49: { "AppAccountToken": "{AppAccountToken}", "BundleId": "{BundleId}", "Currency": "CNY", "Environment": "Production", "ExpiresDate": {ExpiresDate}, "InAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "IsUpgraded": false, "OfferDiscountType": "", "OfferIdentifier": "", "OfferType": 0, "OriginalPurchaseDate": {OriginalPurchaseDate}, "OriginalTransactionId": "{OriginalTransactionId_B}", "Price": {Price}, "ProductId": "{ProductId}", "PurchaseDate": {PurchaseDate}, "Quantity": 1, "RevocationDate": 0, "RevocationReason": 0, "SignedDate": {SignedDate}, "Storefront": "CHN", "StorefrontId": {StorefrontId}, "SubscriptionGroupIdentifier": "{SubscriptionGroupIdentifier}", "TransactionId": "{TransactionId_A}", "TransactionReason": "PURCHASE", "Type": "Auto-Renewable Subscription", "WebOrderLineItemId": "{WebOrderLineItemId}" } From the above logs, it is evident that the same transaction (TransactionId_A) returns different OriginalTransactionId values at different times, which is clearly not expected and severely impacts our ability to correctly process and manage subscription data. I hope you can address and investigate this issue as soon as possible. If you need any further information or assistance, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your support! Best regards!

Hi everybody! I'm desperately looking for help as I'm stuck with a rather fundamental problem regarding StoreKit2 - and maybe Swift Concurrency in general: While renovating several freemium apps I'd like to move from local receipt validation with Receigen / OpenSSL to StoreKit2. These apps are using a dedicated "StoreManager" class which is encapsulating all App Store related operations like fetching products, performing purchases and listening on updates. For this purpose the StoreManager holds an array property with IDs of all purchased products, which is checked when a user invokes a premium function. This array can have various states during the app's life cycle: Immediately after app launch (before the receipt / entitlements are checked) the array is empty After checking the receipt the array holds all (locally registered) purchases Later on it might change if an "Ask to Buy" purchase was approved or a purchase was performed It is important that the array is instantly used in other (Objective-C) classes to reflect the "point in time" state of purchased products - basically acting like a cache: No async calls, completion handler, notification observer etc. When moving to StoreKit2 the same logic applies, but the relevant API calls are (of course) in asynchronous functions: Transaction.updates triggers Transaction.currentEntitlements, which needs to update the array property. But Xcode 16 is raising a strict error because of potential data races when accessing the instance variable from an asynchronous function / actor. What is the way to propagate IDs of purchased products app-wide without requiring every calling function as asynchronous? I'm sure I'm missing a general point with Swift Concurrency: Every example I found was working with call-backs / await, and although this talk of WWDC 2021 is addressing "protecting mutable states" I couldn't apply its outcomes to my problem. What am I missing?

We have implementend Storekit 2 in our app, for one time purchases and subscriptions, so it is iOS15 and higher only. Everything works fine, but now we want to add App Store promotions for our IAP's. That doesn't work because the App requires the app to implement SKPaymentTransactionObserver How to Promote Your In-App Purchases Make sure your app supports a delegate method in SKPaymentTransactionObserver. You can choose to customize which promoted in-app purchases a user sees on a specific device by implementing SKProductStorePromotionController. The problem is that this observer is part of the original Storekit API and not of the new one. What can we do to make this work with the new Storekit 2 API?

I am implementing promotional codes for auto-renewing subscriptions in my app. I need to create the codes and have them link to a discounted auto-renewing subscription. So my normal 1 month subscription is $24.99, I would like to offer users (new subscribers and existing/expired subscribers) the ability to enter a promo code that discounts the price of the first month to $4.99, then $24.99 after the initial first month. All users, regardless of whether or not they have has a previous subscription or not should be able to use this code for this discount. From what I am seeing in documentation, promo codes are only available to users that have had a subscription previously? Currently I am receiving the response "Offer Not Available" with the error: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x2815f0d60>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Offer Not Available I simply do NOT understand why apple engineers have to make something that should be somewhat straightforward, be SO COMPLEX, then when you try to figure out whats going wrong, no meaningful error to troubleshoot. WTF I have tried this on users that have had a previous subscription and still the same error.

Our app offers auto-renewable subscriptions using StoreKit Original API for In-App Purchase and App Store Server Notifications V1. Starting around 2025-03-15, we found some cases where original_transaction_id which was associated to web_order_line_item_id of already purchased subscription had changed in the receipt information of verifyReceipt response or App Store Server Notifications V1. The detailed steps are: Around February 2025, re-purchase from the app the same subscription product which was canceled and expired some time ago, using StoreKit Original API for In-App Purchase Receive the following 2 notifications from App Store Server Notifications V1 almost at the same time INITIAL_BUY DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS In both notifications, latest_receipt_info contains the receipt for the re-purchased subscription period with new original_transaction_id and web_order_line_item_id pending_renewal_info contains both new original_transaction_id and original one which was generated at first purchase, and original one has "is_in_billing_retry_period": "1" Starting around 2025-03-15, the following happens When we receive another "DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS" notification from App Store Server Notifications V1, original_transaction_id which is associated to web_order_line_item_id of the re-purchased subscription period has changed back to the original one (the one which was generated at first purchase) in latest_receipt_info. When we call verifyReceipt with the receipt obtained from appStoreReceiptURL, the response does not seem to contain new original_transaction_id which was generated at re-purchase We have some questions regarding this original_transaction_id behavior. When a user re-purchase the same subscription product which was canceled and expired some time ago, it seems that new original_transaction_id is generated. Is this an expected behavior? If yes, it seems that, at some point, original_transaction_id which is associated to web_order_line_item_id of the re-purchased subscription changed back to the original original_transaction_id which had been generated at first purchase. Is this an expected behavior? What triggers the original_transaction_id change to the original one? Is it related to some user actions or subscription status change?
