I need help understanding how the In-App purchase subscription works within the same subscription group and how the Order plays a role at the time of auto-renewal. In my case, I have 5 in-app products in the same group as given below with their Order, Order Product ---------------------- 1 Gold Annual 2 Gold Monthly 3 Silver Annual Old, 3 Silver Annual New 4 Silver Monthly One user purchased Silver annual New, at the time of expiry, after a year, it auto-renewed to Silver annual Old. My understanding is that if a user has purchased Silver annual New, at the time of renewal, it should renew with the same product, not with different product id. Is this behaviour expected? Is there any official document which can explain this behaviour? Note: There was no Order given before, recently we have changed the Order to manage Upgrade and Downgrade for In-App subscriptions.

I am using the public url https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/jwsPublicKeys to get the jwks keys to verify the signed payload for store kit payments. I am checking Apple server notifications. const APPLE_JWKS_URL = "https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/jwsPublicKeys" // Apple JWK set (cached by jose) const appleJWKS = createRemoteJWKSet(new URL(APPLE_JWKS_URL)); const jwks = await appleJWKS(); logger.debug("Apple JWKS Keys: %O", jwks); // Log the keys if (!signedPayload) { // return res.status(400).json({ error: "Missing signedPayload" }); } // Step 1: Verify JWS (signature + payload) using Apple's JWKS const { payload, protectedHeader } = await jwtVerify( signedPayload, appleJWKS, { algorithms: ["ES256"], // Apple uses ES256 for signing } );

I am developing a mobile application using Flutter and plan to implement in-app subscriptions for both iOS platforms. I would like to request guidance on the following: Technical Implementation: Recommended best practices for implementing auto-renewable subscriptions in Flutter apps StoreKit 2 integration requirements and compatibility considerations Server-to-server notification setup and endpoint requirements Testing Procedures: Sandbox environment configuration and testing workflow TestFlight testing requirements for subscription features Recommended testing scenarios before production release Required Documentation and Accounts: Complete list of required agreements (Paid Applications Agreement, etc.) Banking and tax information requirements Privacy policy and terms of service specifications for subscription apps App Review guidelines specific to subscription-based apps Subscription Management: Grace period implementation requirements Handling subscription cancellations and refunds Promotional offers and introductory pricing setup Could you please provide documentation or direct me to the appropriate resources? Additionally, if there are any specific requirements for Flutter-based applications, I would appreciate that information. Application Details: Platform: iOS (Flutter framework) Subscription Type: Auto-renewable subscriptions

The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/apptransactionid From the documentation: "The App Store generates a single, globally unique appTransactionID for each Apple Account that downloads your app and for each family group member for apps that support Family Sharing." This seems like a really useful identifier, so I was wondering about some edge cases of when using it: What happens if a user logs out of his AppStore account and keeps using the app? Is it available when the app is installed from Xcode? is it possible to set it to some value using StoreKit testing? Thanks

I'm using code similar to the following to conditionally show the SubscriptionStoreView and the .storeButton(.visible, for: .restorePurchases) modifier is used to allow the user to restore an existing subscription. How can I listen for events that would allow me to close this view once the subscription is restored? The .onInAppPurchaseCompletion closure does not handle this and it also appears that listening for results in Transaction.currentEntitlements also doesn't handle the fact that a subscription is restored. Any guidance on how to determine if the subscription has been restored would be greatly appreciated. Finally, how can this be tested effectively in both TestFlight and in Xcode with the simulator. if subscriptionManager.subscription == .none { SubscriptionStoreView(groupID: "1234567") { SubscriptionMarketingView(transparency: false) .containerBackground(for: .subscriptionStoreFullHeight) { GradientBackground() } } .backgroundStyle(.clear) .storeButton(.visible, for: .restorePurchases) .storeButton(.visible, for: .redeemCode) .onInAppPurchaseCompletion { product, result in Task { await subscriptionManager.entitlements() } } }

💬 Post Content Hello everyone, I’m currently testing In-App Purchases (auto-renewable subscriptions) for my iOS app, and I’m experiencing an issue where the product information cannot be fetched from StoreKit. ❓ Questions For sandbox testing, is it absolutely necessary to submit a new app version for review (with the in-app purchase included)? Or can I test subscriptions without submitting a new build to App Review? Under what conditions does the error IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.) 🧪 What I’ve Tried • Confirmed that the bundle identifier matches the App Store Connect record • Verified that In-App Purchase capability is enabled in Xcode • Ensured the sandbox tester account is logged in (Settings → App Store) • Removed the StoreKit configuration file to use the sandbox environment • Tried both real device and simulator (same error) • Accepted the Paid Apps Agreement in App Store Connect • Products are created but currently not yet submitted for review 🔍 Environment • App type: iOS app built with Flutter (using in_app_purchase plugin) • Build type: Archive build installed via Xcode (Run on device) and testFlight • StoreKit Configuration File: Currently removed (for sandbox test); • Status: Ready to submit in App Store Connect

I’m working on a Flutter application that implements subscriptions using in-app purchases (IAP). I currently have two apps under the same developer account: One for staging One for production In App A (staging), I successfully created a monthly subscription with the product ID: rc_1299_monthly However, when I try to create a subscription with the same product ID (rc_1299_monthly) in App B (production), I encounter the following error: "The Product ID you entered is already being used by another subscription." My understanding was that product IDs are scoped per app, but this error suggests there may be account-level constraints. Has anyone encountered this before? Is it required to use unique product IDs across all apps under the same account, or is there a recommended approach for handling staging vs production setups? Any clarification or best practices would be appreciated.

I'm encountering an issue with In-App Purchases on Apple TV (tvOS): When a user initiates an IAP for the first time, the system prompts them to sign in with their Apple ID, and the purchase proceeds normally. However, on subsequent purchase attempts, if the Apple ID session has expired or additional verification is required, the system redirects the user to the Settings app to sign in again. After the user signs in via Settings, the app does not automatically return to the foreground. The user must manually press the Menu button to come back. Is this is the normal behaviour of apple tv for InApp purchase? or did I need any code improvement to solve this? What I'm trying to achieve: I'd like the app to automatically return to the foreground once the user has completed the Apple ID login in Settings. Is this behavior supported on tvOS? If not, is there any known workaround or best practice to guide the user back to the app smoothly? Any advice or guidance from Apple or other developers would be greatly appreciated!

We have been using the purchase date to identify the latest transaction_id for a given original_transaction_id. However, I’ve noticed several cases where an immediate upgrade does not result in a later purchase date—in some instances, it is actually earlier than the previous transaction. Given this inconsistency, would it be more reliable to sort by transaction_id in descending order instead?

I am trying use SKOverlay to promote an app, and I currently have the campaignToken field populated. However, even when installs happen from the SKOverlay, nothing shows up under that campaign token in App Store Connect. Is there something that I'm missing? I don't have the providerToken set.

Hi All i have developed an app but when I go to download the paywall appears as it’s subscription only but it shows no prices for the subscription I get an endless swirl. I checked the product id etc and it’s correct but the subcription on my App Store Connect shows as approved. is there another status it needs to reach before it becomes like like ready for sale? https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/gameaware-pro/id6751592563

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.

Hey guys, somehow I used my real ID(not sandbox test ID) to purchase a non-consumable item in the TestFlight package, no actual payment was made, but this payment record cannot be erased. Even though I know the transaction ID, I cannot initiate a refund like using refundRequestSheet(). Does anyone know how to deal with this, or there is no way to solve it?

I have an auto-renewable subscription. I have two methods helping me keep track of when they are expired @MainActor public func isPurchased(product: Product) async -> Bool { guard let state = await product.currentEntitlement else { return false } switch state { case .unverified(_, _): return false case .verified(let transaction): await transaction.finish() return isTransactionRelevant(transaction) } } private func isTransactionRelevant(_ transaction: Transaction) -> Bool { if let revocationDate = transaction.revocationDate { logger.error("Transaction verification failed: Transaction was revoked on \(revocationDate)") return false } if let expirationDate = transaction.expirationDate, expirationDate < Date() { logger.error("Transaction verification failed: Transaction expired on \(expirationDate)") return false } if transaction.isUpgraded { logger.error("Transaction verification failed: Transaction was upgraded") return false } logger.info("Transaction verification succeeded") return true } I also have this that I can call to get the latest state of purchases @MainActor public func updateStoreKitSubscriptionStatus() async { var currentProductsPurchased: [Product] = [] for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let transaction) = result { if isTransactionRelevant(transaction) { if let product = products.first( where: { $0.id == transaction.productID }) { currentProductsPurchased.append(product) } } await transaction.finish() } } self.purchasedProducts = currentProductsPurchased } Right now when a subscription expires the user needs to manually do some action that triggers updateStoreKitSubscriptionStatus() as it appears that expirations do not come through in Transaction.updates. I am surprised there does not seem to be a better way. Does StoreKit not notify you somewhere that an auto-renewable subscription has expired? Can you observe it in an ObservableObject? Or do I need to just frequently poll Transaction.currentEntitlements even if I dont expect frequent updates?

I set up a sandbox account to test in-app purchases in my development app. I went to settings > dev > sandbox accounts and updated my login in the app store. But I received a 'block'; I can no longer download new versions or anything from the store. I've already removed the sandbox account, and even using my real Apple ID, I can't use the functions.

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

1)What's the relationship between ""Texas, child, 16-17, significant change declined" from my 11:03 screenshot below and "revoking"? ie what situation could someone decline but not revoke or vice versa, what is the purpose of the distinction in testing or legally or implications/implementation 2) What is a cause besides a typo to receive the "Can't trigger notification" titled message after using "Revoke"? you can see by my screenshot by comparing the left and right half there is no title. 3) Even if i find a workaround perhaps my info will help someone else or be an opportunity for improved documentation see: see my 5:54pm second screenshot

I am using Store Kit 2 to implement In App Purchases for my app. I need to maintain a pending state in the UI for all my pending purchases. Is there a way to get a list of all pending purchases? If not, is there a way to know if my pending purchase was cancelled?

Hi, We have a app with some auto-renewing subscription in a group of subscriptions. When a user upgrade from a subscription to another, the "user receive a refund of the prorated amount of their original subscription" (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/subscriptions/). How is the prorated calculated ? Example : subscription to 14,99$ / month. If subscriber upgrade after 10 days, is the refund calculated 10/30 of 14,99$ (so ~5$) ?

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.
