Encountered issues when calling the sandbox environment interface to verify receipts during the development of the payment function
Currently, we are using the Apple V2 interface to develop the payment function. We generate a transaction ID on the mobile client and obtain the receipt. Now, when we call the Apple sandbox environment interface to verify the receipt, we always get a 404 error. The above is the request and response. The token used in it is also the original data after decoding, and there is no problem. Could you help me figure out what other possible reasons there might be?

Issues with Integration of Promotional Offers in React Native app
Hi All, We are trying to integrate Promotional Offer in our app, We have a React Native app and are using react-native-iap for handling our in app purchases, as per the documentation we are generating signature in our BE and passing the proper details to the function as well, but for subscription request which have offer applied we are getting the apple pop up properly as well with offer details but when trying to subscribe it gives us SKErrroDomain: 12, for subscription without applying offer the subscription goes through but when we apply the offer we get the above error. Our app is currently in Development Stages and has not been sent for review sam for our subscription plans as well. Please let me know what could be the probable cause for this and help us resolve the issue. This is the code snippet of ours for the front end : export const buySubscription = async (subscriptionData: any) => { try { if (subscriptionData.offer_id) { const response = await getSubscriptionSignature( subscriptionData.productId, subscriptionData.offer_id, ); const offerData = response?.data; const offer = { identifier: offerData?.offer_id, keyIdentifier: offerData?.key_id, nonce: offerData?.nonce, signature: offerData?.signature, timestamp: Number(offerData?.timestamp), }; await requestSubscription({ sku: subscriptionData.productId, withOffer: offer, }); } else { await requestSubscription({ sku: subscriptionData.productId }); } } catch (err) { logger.error('Subscription error: ' + JSON.stringify(err)); throw err; } }; and 
from my python Backend which generates the signature:

def generate_signature(self, product_id: str, offer_id: str) -> dict: """ Generate signature for Apple StoreKit promotional offers. Args: product_id: The product identifier from App Store Connect offer_id: The promotional offer identifier Returns: dict: Contains signature and required metadata Reference: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/original_api_for_in-app_purchase/subscriptions_and_offers/implementing_promotional_offers_in_your_app """ try: # Generate UUID without dashes and use as nonce nonce = str(uuid.uuid4()) timestamp = get_current_time_ms() # milliseconds # Create the payload string in exact order required by Apple payload_components = [ self.bundle_id, # App Bundle ID self.key_id, # Key ID from App Store Connect product_id, # Product identifier offer_id, # Promotional offer identifier nonce, # UUID without dashes str(timestamp) # Current timestamp in milliseconds ] payload_str = "\u2063".join(payload_components) # Use Unicode separator logger.debug(f"Signing payload: {payload_str}") # Create SHA256 hash of the payload digest = hashes.Hash(hashes.SHA256()) digest.update(payload_str.encode('utf-8')) payload_hash = digest.finalize() # Sign the hash using ES256 (ECDSA with SHA-256) signature = self.private_key.sign( data=payload_hash, signature_algorithm=ec.ECDSA(hashes.SHA256()) ) # Encode signature in base64 signature_b64 = base64.b64encode(signature).decode('utf-8') logger.info(f"Generated signature for product {product_id} and offer {offer_id}") return { "key_id": self.key_id, # Changed to match Apple's naming "nonce": nonce, # UUID without dashes "timestamp": timestamp, # As integer "signature": signature_b64, # Base64 encoded signature "product_id": product_id, # Changed to match Apple's naming "offer_id": offer_id # Changed to match Apple's naming } except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Failed to generate signature: {str(e)}") raise HTTPException( status_code=500, detail=f"Failed to generate signature: {str(e)}" )

StoreKit access in keyboard extensions
Hello Apple team, We would like to access the user's available purchases from the keyboard extension. Making purchases directly from the keyboard is a great benefit, but we assume it is intentionally disabled to prevent abuse or fraudulent purchase attempts. What we care about the most is determining if the user has an item that contains a discount or a free trial to personalize messaging when we suggest the user go to the app and make a purchase. We hope you'd consider revising your policy around StoreKit usage.

How to check if user still have valid subscription?
Is there an API Endpoint that I can call to check if user still have valid subscription? I want to be sure that his subscription renewal was succesful (ie: I dont want to give him another month/year/.. if his latest renewal wasnt successful) Would GET https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} be the correct API endpoint to call? But I wonder, after subscription auto-renews, do we still use the same transactionId to check whether his subs is still valid?

# Critical Bug: Apple servers not generating com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app
Problem Summary Apple's provisioning servers are not generating the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app (Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY), making it impossible to build iOS apps for physical devices despite all configurations being correct. Environment macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70) Xcode: 16.1 (xcode-select version 2409) Flutter: 3.35.2 • channel stable Account: Individual Developer (Kazakhstan) Bundle ID: com.driftnotes.app Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY Error Message Error (Xcode): Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.driftnotes.app" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement. /Users/vyacheslavkuzin/Desktop/FlutterProjects/DriftNotesDart/ios/Runner.xcodeproj Steps to Reproduce Configure App ID with In-App Purchase capability (✅ verified in Developer Portal) Add In-App Purchase capability in Xcode project (✅ done) Configure entitlements file with StoreKit keys (✅ done) Enable automatic signing in Xcode (✅ done) Run: flutter build ios --release Build completes successfully ("Xcode build done. 13,8s") but fails at signing stage Expected vs Actual Result Expected: Provisioning profile should include com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement Actual: Profile is created WITHOUT the entitlement, despite all configurations being correct Configuration Details Developer Portal App ID com.driftnotes.app has In-App Purchase capability enabled ✅ All agreements are active in App Store Connect ✅ Xcode Project In-App Purchase capability added via Signing & Capabilities ✅ Automatically manage signing: Enabled ✅ Team: 43Y6AG5NPY (Vyacheslav Kuzin) ✅ Entitlements File (ios/Runner/Runner.entitlements) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.in-app-payments</key> <array> <string>merchant.com.driftnotes.app</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.storekit</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Build Settings CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS: Runner/Runner.entitlements ✅ PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER: com.driftnotes.app ✅ DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: 43Y6AG5NPY ✅ Troubleshooting Attempted Multiple Attempts Profile Recreation: Manual and automatic profiles recreated dozens of times Cache Cleanup: Complete removal of: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/* Flutter clean & pod cache clean Signing Methods: Tested both manual and automatic signing management Wait Periods: 48+ hours for server propagation Complete Profile Deletion: Removed ALL profiles from Developer account per Apple Support Apple Support Workaround Following Senior Advisor recommendation: ✅ Deleted all provisioning profiles from account ✅ Confirmed IAP capability in project ✅ Created StoreKit Configuration File for testing ✅ Verified automatic signing management ✅ Multiple "Try Again" attempts in Xcode Result: Problem persists Apple Support Reference Case #102680105923 - Senior Advisor Simone confirmed after internal team consultation that this requires engineering team attention and directed to Developer Forums. Technical Analysis What Works Flutter build completes successfully Pod install executes without issues (25,9s) Xcode build finishes successfully (13,8s) All dependencies resolve correctly What Fails Provisioning profile generation: Server creates profile but omits StoreKit entitlement All profile types affected: Both manual and automatic profiles Consistent across configurations: Debug, Release, Profile all fail identically Root Cause This appears to be a server-side bug where Apple's provisioning systems are not properly correlating the App ID's In-App Purchase capability with the StoreKit entitlement generation for this specific App ID (com.driftnotes.app). The issue is NOT in client-side configuration - all settings match Apple's official documentation exactly. The problem occurs during the server-side provisioning profile generation process. Request for Engineering Team This issue requires attention from Apple's provisioning infrastructure team to resolve the server-side entitlement generation bug for App ID com.driftnotes.app. Impact Critical: Complete inability to build iOS app for physical devices Business: Blocking app deployment and updates Developer Experience: Extensive time spent on troubleshooting correctly configured setup All configurations have been verified multiple times and match Apple's official documentation. The issue has been escalated through Apple Support (Case #102680105923) and requires engineering team intervention.

Subscription Cancellation
Hi Team, I’ve successfully implemented the subscription flow for my app. However, I’m currently facing challenges related to testing the cancellation behavior for auto-renewable subscriptions. Specifically: I’m unable to locate the correct payload structure for the following test endpoint: https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/test I’m also unclear on how to simulate or complete the full lifecycle of a subscription (including cancellation) using Apple’s sandbox environment or APIs. Could you please guide me on how to: Retrieve or construct the proper payload for the test notification API? Simulate a cancellation flow end-to-end in the sandbox for auto-renewable subscriptions?

"This in-app purchase has already been bought" Error and SSL Failure on Restore
There is a project that has been running online for years. A few months ago, a player reported that after making their first successful IAP at a specific purchase point, any subsequent attempts to purchase the same item do not trigger the payment window. Instead, they get the error:"This in-app purchase has already been bought".​After contacting Apple Support once, the player was able to make a payment, but the issue reappeared on the next attempt. So far, this is the only user reporting the problem, other people can purchase normally. Question1:​ Here’s what I’ve tried: I reviewed the code and ensured that TransactionObserveris correctly called. I’ve also added **[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]**in all possible places, but the issue persists. According to the logs, after the user’s first purchase, every subsequent IAP attempt returns the same receipt from the initial successful transaction, even though I’m certain finishTransactionis being called. It seems like this method isn’t having the intended effect. Question2:​ I asked the player to manually trigger the Restore Purchases​ button by calling [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions]. the restoreCompletedTransactionsFailedWithErrorcallback returned the following error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1200 "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made." The player has already checked their device time and tried switching between Wi-Fi and 4G, but the error remains. Is this SSL error related to the "already bought" error?​ Note that this SSL issue occurred during a separate restore process, not during a purchase attempt. Question: 3:​ I noticed that I’m not calling finishTransaction​ inside the restoreCompletedTransactionsFailedWithErrorcallback. Should I add it there?​ Purchase Logs: ​The player clicked "Restore Purchases" and then attempted another purchase. The purchase flow appears normal, but the IAP returns an old, already-used receipt.

Calling AppTransaction in a SpriteKit app
Hello 👋! I'm trying to switch the business model in my app from premium to freemium, gracefully so that existing users aren't bothered. I'd like to provide newly-paywalled content for original paid users. For this to work, I need to use originalAppVersion in AppTransaction, and support iOS 16 at minimum. I've asked about originalAppVersion earlier here. I've upped to iOS 16 already, but I don't exactly know how to call AppTransaction.shared to get originalAppVersion. The issue lies in the fact that my app is based on SpriteKit, so the operative areas I have available to call AppTransaction are ostensibly limited to AppDelegate and GameViewController. I'm using the code from Supporting business model changes by using the app transaction, but if I place it in either GameViewController or AppDelegate, for example in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) or viewDidLoad(), I get an error concerning async/await. Now, I understand the gist of it: these are not asynchronous methods. So I'm trying to understand how to do it perhaps outside of these methods. How do I call AppTransaction.shared (and fetch originalAppVersion) in a SpriteKit based app?

不正利用された場合、Apple ID不正利用時とクレジットカード不正利用時で、アプリ側が行う標準的な対応プロセスは変わるのか
アプリに課金を実装しようと思うのですが、もし不正利用された場合、アプリ側は基本的にApp Storeを通じて対応するよう案内するのが一般的と思いますが、Apple ID不正利用時とクレジットカード不正利用時で、アプリ側が行う標準的な対応プロセスは変わるのか教えていただきたいです。 また下記内容は標準的な対応プロセスとして問題ないでしょうか?
 ■Apple ID不正利用時 → ユーザー自身がAppleサポートに連絡し、パスワード変更・二段階認証の設定・不正購入の返金申請などを行うよう案内する。 ■クレジットカード不正利用時 → まずカード会社への連絡を促すが、アプリ内決済に関してはAppleのカスタマーサポート経由で返金や調査手続きを案内する 不正利用されたユーザーへの対応に備えて、アプリ側が考慮すべきことがあれば教えてください。

AppStore.sync Replays the Latest Subscription Renewal into Transaction.unfinished on iOS 26.4 Sandbox
StoreKit2 Repro Notes: the latest renewal appears in Transaction.unfinished after restore (2026-04-05) 1. Issue Summary In the current project, during a normal cold launch: Transaction.latest(for:) returns a value for the weekly subscription Transaction.all returns the full subscription history chain Transaction.unfinished is empty However, after tapping Restore Purchases and calling AppStore.sync(), one "latest renewal" transaction appears in Transaction.unfinished. This behavior looks more like a system-side replay triggered by AppStore.sync() than a consistently unfinished transaction during a normal launch. 2. Affected Product Product: do.i.iapc.vip.week Transaction chain characteristics: All transactions belong to the same auto-renewable subscription chain originalTransactionID = 2000001143446796 The transaction that appears in unfinished is usually the latest or last renewal in the chain 3. Current Code Path During app startup: loadProducts() Debug snapshot for Transaction.latest(for:) Debug snapshot for Transaction.all Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() During restore purchases: Call AppStore.sync() Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() 4. Preconditions A Sandbox test account is used The weekly subscription do.i.iapc.vip.week already has multiple historical renewal transactions The subscription is already expired, so entitlements = 0 during a normal launch The issue is easier to reproduce on an iOS 26.4 device The issue was not consistently reproduced on another iOS 18.2 device 5. Reproduction Steps Path A: Normal cold launch Launch the app Observe the logs: LatestTransaction snapshot AllTransaction snapshot summary unfinished processing result Observed result: latest has a value all contains the full history chain unfinishedHandledCount = 0 Path B: Tap Restore Purchases Launch the app Tap Restore Purchases Trigger AppStore.sync() Observe the logs: restore started unfinished processing started unfinished transaction received Observed result: After restore, one "latest renewal" transaction appears in unfinished That same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch 6. Expected Result If a transaction has already been successfully finished in the past, it should not appear again as unfinished after Restore Purchases. A stricter expectation is: During a normal cold launch, unfinished = 0 After tapping Restore Purchases, unfinished should still remain 0 7. Actual Result Actual behavior: Normal cold launch: unfinished = 0 After Restore Purchases: one "latest renewal" transaction appears again in unfinished This suggests that AppStore.sync() may replay the most recent historical subscription transaction. 8. Current Assessment Based on the current logs, the issue is more likely to be: Related to AppStore.sync() / StoreKit / Sandbox replay behavior on the system side Easier to reproduce on iOS 26.4 Less likely to be caused by a persistent app-side bug where finish() is missed during a normal startup flow Reasons: During a normal launch, unfinished = 0 The behavior is inconsistent across devices and OS versions, even with the same Sandbox account latest, all, and unfinished can be clearly separated during a normal cold launch 9. Suggested Engineering Position Suggested wording for internal or external communication: In the iOS 26.4 + Sandbox environment, calling AppStore.sync() may cause StoreKit to replay the latest historical subscription transaction into Transaction.unfinished. Since the same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch, the issue currently looks more like a system/environment-specific behavior difference than an app-side bug where finish() is consistently missed during the regular startup path. 10. Additional Evidence That Can Be Collected If this needs to be escalated to the team or to Apple, the following would strengthen the report: Full log comparison before and after tapping Restore Purchases The same transactionId compared between normal launch and post-restore behavior Cross-device comparison on different iOS versions A minimal reproducible sample project and Sandbox test record

appTransactionID behavior on logout
The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://aninterestingwebsite.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

Transaction.currentEntitlements sometimes does not emit a result until device is reboot
I have the typical StoreKit 2 manager class, where I check currentEntitlements for subscription. I have filed a feedback (FB22349195), I hope someone can take a look at it. func updateCustomerProductStatus() async { var activeSubscription: String? = nil // BUG: In some cases the currentEntitlements does not emit a transaction until the device is reboot for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { print("Found transaction: \(result)") // This print does not appear until a restart! do { let transaction = try checkVerified(result) // Skip revoked transactions if transaction.revocationDate != nil { print("Skipping revoked transaction for \(transaction.productID)") continue } // Skip expired subscriptions if let expirationDate = transaction.expirationDate, expirationDate < Date() { print("Skipping expired subscription for \(transaction.productID)") continue } // Check product type switch transaction.productType { case .autoRenewable: activeSubscription = transaction.productID default: break } } catch { print("Unable to verify transaction: \(error)") } } // Update state once after processing all entitlements self.activeSubscription = activeSubscription print("updateCustomerProductStatus() activeSubscription: \(activeSubscription ?? "nil")") } There is some unexpected behavior where the currentEntitlements does not emit a result until the iPhone device is reboot. This bug appeared in iOS 26.4 (and in the betas).

Adding In-App Purchase to app + review required?
I'm trying to understand the IAP development process. I created my first Product on App Store Connect and am trying to build my app to use it. However it keeps failing with "Invalid product ID.". From what I've read, this is because the product has not yet gone through review. But what I don't understand is, of course it hasn't gone through review yet, because trying to use it in any capacity fails, even though I'm using a real physical device and using a Sandbox User. Is this the correct workflow? It seems very backwards that I have to submit the product for review, even before I know how it's going to be used. I'm still building the screen for the product page, and haven't even started touching any backend APIs, yet it's asking for screenshots. Am I misunderstanding something here?

"appAccountToken" mismatched in sandbox environment
We're seeing some strange behavior of the appAccountToken when passing it to a purchase in the sandbox environment. Normally we'd expect the same account token to be set on the resulting verfication, but that's not the case. Instead the token seems to be persisted on the API side and reused for some amount of time, meaning there's a mismatch and the connection between account and purchase is lost. This happens consistently even if we send new tokens on each purchase. Has there been any updates to purchase flow in the sandbox environment on Apple's side? .purchase( options: [.appAccountToken(token)] )

StoreKit2 caches local raw transactions and retrieval
FB19377002 I am looking to improve and review my subscription purchase handling logic, for the best user experience. Considering that StoreKit2 caches local raw transactions (in case user is offline), is it really necessary to persist "unlocked status" in UserDefaults or SwiftData Model or AppStorage? Are there significant delays when reading Transaction.currentEntitlements from locally stored cache, versus reading it from UserDefaults; or, as in the latest SKDemo example, even reading it from stored in SwiftData ? https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/706450 I only have subscriptions ( I don't have noncosumable or consubale products). Do I still need to persist subscription status?

Does scheduling a price change of a subscription while keeping the original price for existing subscribers trigger messaging to those users?
We're planning on increasing the price of our ios in-app subscription. We will select the option "Keep the current price for existing subscribers" Reading this https://aninterestingwebsite.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/manage-pricing-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions/, it's not clear if existing subscribers will be notified of the change in pricing (even though that change won't impact them) or not?

How to check if user still have valid subscription?
Is there an API Endpoint that I can call to check if user still have valid subscription? I want to be sure that his subscription renewal was succesful (ie: I dont want to give him another month/year/.. if his latest renewal wasnt successful) Would GET https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} be the correct API endpoint to call? But I wonder, after subscription auto-renews, do we still use the same transactionId to check whether his subs is still valid?

# Critical Bug: Apple servers not generating com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app
Problem Summary Apple's provisioning servers are not generating the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app (Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY), making it impossible to build iOS apps for physical devices despite all configurations being correct. Environment macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70) Xcode: 16.1 (xcode-select version 2409) Flutter: 3.35.2 • channel stable Account: Individual Developer (Kazakhstan) Bundle ID: com.driftnotes.app Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY Error Message Error (Xcode): Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.driftnotes.app" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement. /Users/vyacheslavkuzin/Desktop/FlutterProjects/DriftNotesDart/ios/Runner.xcodeproj Steps to Reproduce Configure App ID with In-App Purchase capability (✅ verified in Developer Portal) Add In-App Purchase capability in Xcode project (✅ done) Configure entitlements file with StoreKit keys (✅ done) Enable automatic signing in Xcode (✅ done) Run: flutter build ios --release Build completes successfully ("Xcode build done. 13,8s") but fails at signing stage Expected vs Actual Result Expected: Provisioning profile should include com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement Actual: Profile is created WITHOUT the entitlement, despite all configurations being correct Configuration Details Developer Portal App ID com.driftnotes.app has In-App Purchase capability enabled ✅ All agreements are active in App Store Connect ✅ Xcode Project In-App Purchase capability added via Signing & Capabilities ✅ Automatically manage signing: Enabled ✅ Team: 43Y6AG5NPY (Vyacheslav Kuzin) ✅ Entitlements File (ios/Runner/Runner.entitlements) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.in-app-payments</key> <array> <string>merchant.com.driftnotes.app</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.storekit</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Build Settings CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS: Runner/Runner.entitlements ✅ PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER: com.driftnotes.app ✅ DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: 43Y6AG5NPY ✅ Troubleshooting Attempted Multiple Attempts Profile Recreation: Manual and automatic profiles recreated dozens of times Cache Cleanup: Complete removal of: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/* Flutter clean & pod cache clean Signing Methods: Tested both manual and automatic signing management Wait Periods: 48+ hours for server propagation Complete Profile Deletion: Removed ALL profiles from Developer account per Apple Support Apple Support Workaround Following Senior Advisor recommendation: ✅ Deleted all provisioning profiles from account ✅ Confirmed IAP capability in project ✅ Created StoreKit Configuration File for testing ✅ Verified automatic signing management ✅ Multiple "Try Again" attempts in Xcode Result: Problem persists Apple Support Reference Case #102680105923 - Senior Advisor Simone confirmed after internal team consultation that this requires engineering team attention and directed to Developer Forums. Technical Analysis What Works Flutter build completes successfully Pod install executes without issues (25,9s) Xcode build finishes successfully (13,8s) All dependencies resolve correctly What Fails Provisioning profile generation: Server creates profile but omits StoreKit entitlement All profile types affected: Both manual and automatic profiles Consistent across configurations: Debug, Release, Profile all fail identically Root Cause This appears to be a server-side bug where Apple's provisioning systems are not properly correlating the App ID's In-App Purchase capability with the StoreKit entitlement generation for this specific App ID (com.driftnotes.app). The issue is NOT in client-side configuration - all settings match Apple's official documentation exactly. The problem occurs during the server-side provisioning profile generation process. Request for Engineering Team This issue requires attention from Apple's provisioning infrastructure team to resolve the server-side entitlement generation bug for App ID com.driftnotes.app. Impact Critical: Complete inability to build iOS app for physical devices Business: Blocking app deployment and updates Developer Experience: Extensive time spent on troubleshooting correctly configured setup All configurations have been verified multiple times and match Apple's official documentation. The issue has been escalated through Apple Support (Case #102680105923) and requires engineering team intervention.

Subscription Cancellation
Hi Team, I’ve successfully implemented the subscription flow for my app. However, I’m currently facing challenges related to testing the cancellation behavior for auto-renewable subscriptions. Specifically: I’m unable to locate the correct payload structure for the following test endpoint: https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/test I’m also unclear on how to simulate or complete the full lifecycle of a subscription (including cancellation) using Apple’s sandbox environment or APIs. Could you please guide me on how to: Retrieve or construct the proper payload for the test notification API? Simulate a cancellation flow end-to-end in the sandbox for auto-renewable subscriptions?

"This in-app purchase has already been bought" Error and SSL Failure on Restore
There is a project that has been running online for years. A few months ago, a player reported that after making their first successful IAP at a specific purchase point, any subsequent attempts to purchase the same item do not trigger the payment window. Instead, they get the error:"This in-app purchase has already been bought".​After contacting Apple Support once, the player was able to make a payment, but the issue reappeared on the next attempt. So far, this is the only user reporting the problem, other people can purchase normally. Question1:​ Here’s what I’ve tried: I reviewed the code and ensured that TransactionObserveris correctly called. I’ve also added **[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]**in all possible places, but the issue persists. According to the logs, after the user’s first purchase, every subsequent IAP attempt returns the same receipt from the initial successful transaction, even though I’m certain finishTransactionis being called. It seems like this method isn’t having the intended effect. Question2:​ I asked the player to manually trigger the Restore Purchases​ button by calling [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions]. the restoreCompletedTransactionsFailedWithErrorcallback returned the following error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1200 "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made." The player has already checked their device time and tried switching between Wi-Fi and 4G, but the error remains. Is this SSL error related to the "already bought" error?​ Note that this SSL issue occurred during a separate restore process, not during a purchase attempt. Question: 3:​ I noticed that I’m not calling finishTransaction​ inside the restoreCompletedTransactionsFailedWithErrorcallback. Should I add it there?​ Purchase Logs: ​The player clicked "Restore Purchases" and then attempted another purchase. The purchase flow appears normal, but the IAP returns an old, already-used receipt.

Calling AppTransaction in a SpriteKit app
Hello 👋! I'm trying to switch the business model in my app from premium to freemium, gracefully so that existing users aren't bothered. I'd like to provide newly-paywalled content for original paid users. For this to work, I need to use originalAppVersion in AppTransaction, and support iOS 16 at minimum. I've asked about originalAppVersion earlier here. I've upped to iOS 16 already, but I don't exactly know how to call AppTransaction.shared to get originalAppVersion. The issue lies in the fact that my app is based on SpriteKit, so the operative areas I have available to call AppTransaction are ostensibly limited to AppDelegate and GameViewController. I'm using the code from Supporting business model changes by using the app transaction, but if I place it in either GameViewController or AppDelegate, for example in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) or viewDidLoad(), I get an error concerning async/await. Now, I understand the gist of it: these are not asynchronous methods. So I'm trying to understand how to do it perhaps outside of these methods. How do I call AppTransaction.shared (and fetch originalAppVersion) in a SpriteKit based app?

不正利用された場合、Apple ID不正利用時とクレジットカード不正利用時で、アプリ側が行う標準的な対応プロセスは変わるのか
アプリに課金を実装しようと思うのですが、もし不正利用された場合、アプリ側は基本的にApp Storeを通じて対応するよう案内するのが一般的と思いますが、Apple ID不正利用時とクレジットカード不正利用時で、アプリ側が行う標準的な対応プロセスは変わるのか教えていただきたいです。 また下記内容は標準的な対応プロセスとして問題ないでしょうか?
 ■Apple ID不正利用時 → ユーザー自身がAppleサポートに連絡し、パスワード変更・二段階認証の設定・不正購入の返金申請などを行うよう案内する。 ■クレジットカード不正利用時 → まずカード会社への連絡を促すが、アプリ内決済に関してはAppleのカスタマーサポート経由で返金や調査手続きを案内する 不正利用されたユーザーへの対応に備えて、アプリ側が考慮すべきことがあれば教えてください。

AppStore.sync Replays the Latest Subscription Renewal into Transaction.unfinished on iOS 26.4 Sandbox
StoreKit2 Repro Notes: the latest renewal appears in Transaction.unfinished after restore (2026-04-05) 1. Issue Summary In the current project, during a normal cold launch: Transaction.latest(for:) returns a value for the weekly subscription Transaction.all returns the full subscription history chain Transaction.unfinished is empty However, after tapping Restore Purchases and calling AppStore.sync(), one "latest renewal" transaction appears in Transaction.unfinished. This behavior looks more like a system-side replay triggered by AppStore.sync() than a consistently unfinished transaction during a normal launch. 2. Affected Product Product: do.i.iapc.vip.week Transaction chain characteristics: All transactions belong to the same auto-renewable subscription chain originalTransactionID = 2000001143446796 The transaction that appears in unfinished is usually the latest or last renewal in the chain 3. Current Code Path During app startup: loadProducts() Debug snapshot for Transaction.latest(for:) Debug snapshot for Transaction.all Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() During restore purchases: Call AppStore.sync() Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() 4. Preconditions A Sandbox test account is used The weekly subscription do.i.iapc.vip.week already has multiple historical renewal transactions The subscription is already expired, so entitlements = 0 during a normal launch The issue is easier to reproduce on an iOS 26.4 device The issue was not consistently reproduced on another iOS 18.2 device 5. Reproduction Steps Path A: Normal cold launch Launch the app Observe the logs: LatestTransaction snapshot AllTransaction snapshot summary unfinished processing result Observed result: latest has a value all contains the full history chain unfinishedHandledCount = 0 Path B: Tap Restore Purchases Launch the app Tap Restore Purchases Trigger AppStore.sync() Observe the logs: restore started unfinished processing started unfinished transaction received Observed result: After restore, one "latest renewal" transaction appears in unfinished That same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch 6. Expected Result If a transaction has already been successfully finished in the past, it should not appear again as unfinished after Restore Purchases. A stricter expectation is: During a normal cold launch, unfinished = 0 After tapping Restore Purchases, unfinished should still remain 0 7. Actual Result Actual behavior: Normal cold launch: unfinished = 0 After Restore Purchases: one "latest renewal" transaction appears again in unfinished This suggests that AppStore.sync() may replay the most recent historical subscription transaction. 8. Current Assessment Based on the current logs, the issue is more likely to be: Related to AppStore.sync() / StoreKit / Sandbox replay behavior on the system side Easier to reproduce on iOS 26.4 Less likely to be caused by a persistent app-side bug where finish() is missed during a normal startup flow Reasons: During a normal launch, unfinished = 0 The behavior is inconsistent across devices and OS versions, even with the same Sandbox account latest, all, and unfinished can be clearly separated during a normal cold launch 9. Suggested Engineering Position Suggested wording for internal or external communication: In the iOS 26.4 + Sandbox environment, calling AppStore.sync() may cause StoreKit to replay the latest historical subscription transaction into Transaction.unfinished. Since the same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch, the issue currently looks more like a system/environment-specific behavior difference than an app-side bug where finish() is consistently missed during the regular startup path. 10. Additional Evidence That Can Be Collected If this needs to be escalated to the team or to Apple, the following would strengthen the report: Full log comparison before and after tapping Restore Purchases The same transactionId compared between normal launch and post-restore behavior Cross-device comparison on different iOS versions A minimal reproducible sample project and Sandbox test record

appTransactionID behavior on logout
The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://aninterestingwebsite.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

Transaction.currentEntitlements sometimes does not emit a result until device is reboot
I have the typical StoreKit 2 manager class, where I check currentEntitlements for subscription. I have filed a feedback (FB22349195), I hope someone can take a look at it. func updateCustomerProductStatus() async { var activeSubscription: String? = nil // BUG: In some cases the currentEntitlements does not emit a transaction until the device is reboot for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { print("Found transaction: \(result)") // This print does not appear until a restart! do { let transaction = try checkVerified(result) // Skip revoked transactions if transaction.revocationDate != nil { print("Skipping revoked transaction for \(transaction.productID)") continue } // Skip expired subscriptions if let expirationDate = transaction.expirationDate, expirationDate < Date() { print("Skipping expired subscription for \(transaction.productID)") continue } // Check product type switch transaction.productType { case .autoRenewable: activeSubscription = transaction.productID default: break } } catch { print("Unable to verify transaction: \(error)") } } // Update state once after processing all entitlements self.activeSubscription = activeSubscription print("updateCustomerProductStatus() activeSubscription: \(activeSubscription ?? "nil")") } There is some unexpected behavior where the currentEntitlements does not emit a result until the iPhone device is reboot. This bug appeared in iOS 26.4 (and in the betas).

Adding In-App Purchase to app + review required?
I'm trying to understand the IAP development process. I created my first Product on App Store Connect and am trying to build my app to use it. However it keeps failing with "Invalid product ID.". From what I've read, this is because the product has not yet gone through review. But what I don't understand is, of course it hasn't gone through review yet, because trying to use it in any capacity fails, even though I'm using a real physical device and using a Sandbox User. Is this the correct workflow? It seems very backwards that I have to submit the product for review, even before I know how it's going to be used. I'm still building the screen for the product page, and haven't even started touching any backend APIs, yet it's asking for screenshots. Am I misunderstanding something here?

"appAccountToken" mismatched in sandbox environment
We're seeing some strange behavior of the appAccountToken when passing it to a purchase in the sandbox environment. Normally we'd expect the same account token to be set on the resulting verfication, but that's not the case. Instead the token seems to be persisted on the API side and reused for some amount of time, meaning there's a mismatch and the connection between account and purchase is lost. This happens consistently even if we send new tokens on each purchase. Has there been any updates to purchase flow in the sandbox environment on Apple's side? .purchase( options: [.appAccountToken(token)] )

StoreKit2 caches local raw transactions and retrieval
FB19377002 I am looking to improve and review my subscription purchase handling logic, for the best user experience. Considering that StoreKit2 caches local raw transactions (in case user is offline), is it really necessary to persist "unlocked status" in UserDefaults or SwiftData Model or AppStorage? Are there significant delays when reading Transaction.currentEntitlements from locally stored cache, versus reading it from UserDefaults; or, as in the latest SKDemo example, even reading it from stored in SwiftData ? https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/706450 I only have subscriptions ( I don't have noncosumable or consubale products). Do I still need to persist subscription status?

Does scheduling a price change of a subscription while keeping the original price for existing subscribers trigger messaging to those users?
We're planning on increasing the price of our ios in-app subscription. We will select the option "Keep the current price for existing subscribers" Reading this https://aninterestingwebsite.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/manage-pricing-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions/, it's not clear if existing subscribers will be notified of the change in pricing (even though that change won't impact them) or not?
