I've been struggling to work with the Storekit framework and specifically to find the current Storefront used by the user of the app. Context : My app needs to behave differently depending on the country of the user. For me relying on Locale.current.region?.identifier does not seem very reliable, the user can change it really easily. I'm trying to use the Storekit framework like so : if let storefront = await StoreKit.Storefront.current{ return storefront.countryCode } As per Apple's Storekit documentation : Use current to determine a customer's current storefront region and offer in-app products suitable for that region. You maintain your own list of product identifiers and the storefronts in which you make them available. But I just can't find out what I need to change in my current configuration to get another country. The code keeps returning my original storefront (which is France) I've tried login in with a sandbox user defined on another country. Changed all settings on my device to another country. Changed my Apple's account region as described here. Also tried to logout from everything. The only thing that works is setting a local .storekit file as described here and changing the default storefront. Is Xcode overriding the default storefront when building on debug or TestFlight? does anyone know how can I test different storefronts with sandbox users without the local storekit file ? Thank you in advance.

There is an issue with StoreKit. The line let products = try await StoreKit.Product.products(for: ids) doesn't always work correctly. Sometimes it returns an array with the correct data, and sometimes it returns an empty array. I'm passing the correct ids to products(for:). This problem only occurs when using the sandbox environment (in TestFlight builds). In the App Store version, everything works fine. StoreKit configuration is none. All IAPs are approved. Everything was working fine before this. The problem was discovered on May 1, 2025.

Hello, I am encountering an issue where I receive an App Store Server Notification V2 upon the purchase of a consumable item. I have configured the App Store Server Notification V2 endpoint to handle notifications related to subscription products. However, I did not expect to receive notifications for consumable purchases. The notification includes the following signedPayload decoded into the ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload object with the following values: notificationUUID: 3cd6410b-0c89-4247-aba5-20710e79895e notificationType: null subtype: null The transaction information decoded from the ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload object is as follows: transactionId: 2000000633622618 webOrderLineItemId: null productId: heart_2 To debug, I called the Get Notification History API of the App Store Server API, and the mentioned notification for the consumable product purchase is not included in the history. Only notifications related to subscription product purchases are retrieved. According to the notification type documentation, there is no explanation for cases where both notificationType and subtype are null, nor is there any mention of receiving notifications for consumable purchases. Therefore, I am uncertain how to interpret and handle this notification. Could you please provide an explanation or guidance on this issue? Thank you.

Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = transaction_id found in receipt_data.latest_receipt_info The two values are different, but they differ only by 1. Additional observation The original_transaction_id for A and A' is identical, which suggests that both transaction IDs belong to the same subscription purchase chain. Pattern observation on the ID difference We have observed that the difference between A and A' is consistently exactly 1 (i.e., A' = A + 1) across multiple transactions, not just a single case. This appears to be a reproducible pattern rather than a coincidence. This observation raises an additional question (Question 6 below). API verification When calling: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Both A and A' return what appears to be the same purchase record. The response data is effectively identical except for the transactionId field. However, when calling: GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId} A does not appear in the transaction history only A' appears in the history response Questions If A does not appear in transaction history, where does this transaction ID originate from? Why does Get Transaction Info (/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}) return a valid response for A even though it is not present in the transaction history? Why do A and A' both resolve to what appears to be the same purchase? In this situation, which transaction ID should be treated as the canonical transaction ID for server-side validation? Is this difference related to how StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) and the App Store Server API represent transactions? Is the consistent off-by-one difference between the transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction and the one recorded in latest_receipt_info an intentional behavior of StoreKit 1's internal transaction ID assignment? Specifically, we are wondering whether StoreKit 1 applies some form of internal offset when delivering the transaction ID to the client, while the App Store server records a different (adjacent) ID in the receipt. If so, is this documented anywhere? Note We are currently in the process of migrating to StoreKit 2, but this behavior was observed while investigating our existing StoreKit 1 implementation. Any clarification would help us better understand the correct transaction model during the migration.

Hey y'all, I'm reaching out because of an observed issue that I am experience both in sandbox and in production environments. This issue does not occur when using the Local StoreKit configurations. For context, my app only implements auto-renewing subscriptions. I'm trying to track with my own analytics every time a successful purchase is made, whether in the app or externally through Subscription Settings. I'm seeming too many events for just one purchase. My app is observing Transaction.updates. When I make a purchase with Product.purchase(_:), I successfully handle the purchase result. After a few seconds, I receive 2-3 new transactions in my Transaction.updates, even though I already handled and finished the Purchase result. The transactions seem to have the same transactionId, and values such as revocationDate, expirationDate, and isUpgraded don't seem to change between any of them. For purchases made outside the app, I get the same issue. Transaction gets handled in updates several times. Note that this is not an issue if a subscription renews. I use `Transaction.reason

I have three questions about verify receipt I use this api （https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt）to verify receipt is success or not. But since last month, this interface has started to return an error(21002). I see this document (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt) say its Deprecated. My question is, is the error suddenly returned recently because the interface has been deprecated or for some other reason? (I haven't modified my code about this recently) I can not understand this document: （https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/validating_receipts_on_the_device） Does this mean that in the new version, as long as the app returns a payment success (purchaseDetails.status == PurchaseStatus.purchased), the payment is guaranteed to be successful, and my server does not need to request payment result verification from Apple's server? I try to use this (https://github.com/apple/app-store-server-library-java) to get TransactionInfo, but I dont konw to get Transaction status to know is success or not. my java server code : AppStoreServerAPIClient client = new AppStoreServerAPIClient(encodedKey, keyId, issuerId, bundleId, environment); TransactionInfoResponse response = client.getTransactionInfo(transactionId); (bug i can note get transaction status, how do i konw this Transaction is success or not)

After about 10-20 seconds, I receive 2-3 new transactions in my Transaction.updates, even though I already handled and finished the Purchase result. This happens on production, where renewals are one week. This also happens in Sandbox, where at minimum renewals are every 3 minutes. The transactions do not differ in transactionId, revocationDate, expirationDate, nor isUpgraded... so not sure why they're coming in through Transaction.updates if there are no "updates" to be processing. For purchases made outside the app, I get the same issue. Transaction gets handled in updates several times. Note that this is not an issue if a subscription renews. I use `Transaction.reason I want to assume that StoreKit is a perfect API and can do no wrong (I know, a poor assumption but hear me out)... so where am I going wrong? My current thought is a Swift concurrency issue. This is a contrived example: // Assume Task is on MainActor Task(priority: .background) { @MainActor in for await result in Transaction.updates in { // We suspend current process, // so will we go to next item in the `for-await-in` loop? // Because we didn't finish the first transaction, will we see it again in the updates queue? await self.handle(result) } } @MainActor func handle(result) async { ... await Analytics.sendEvent("purchase_success") transaction.finish() }

Hey We have noticed a change in the retry behavior of Apple Server Notifications webhooks V2 starting around March 12–13, 2026. Previously, when our webhook endpoint returned an HTTP 400 response, Apple would retry the notification delivery multiple times according to the documented retry policy. However, beginning around March 12–13, it appears that Apple no longer retries the webhook when a 400 response is returned. The notification is sent only once and no further retry attempts are made. From our understanding of the documentation, retries should occur when delivery fails, and historically we observed retries even for some 4xx responses. We would like to confirm: Has Apple recently changed the retry behavior for Server Notifications? Are HTTP 4xx responses (specifically 400) now considered terminal failures that will not trigger retries? Is this change intentional or related to a rollout in the webhook delivery system? We have called the "Notification History" endpoint for some users who purchased a sub and we are only getting one attempt with the following data in it: { attemptDate: 1773469202552, (2026-03-14T06:20:02.552Z) sendAttemptResult: 'UNSUCCESSFUL_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE', } This was 2 days ago, based on the docs, the user should have a few attempts at least. This behavior change affects systems that rely on retries to handle temporary validation issues or transient failures. Thanks!

I’d like to confirm the expected behavior of StoreKit 2 in the Sandbox environment regarding unfinished consumable transactions across devices. Scenario: Device A and Device B are signed in with the same Sandbox Apple ID A consumable in-app purchase is completed on Device A The transaction may be verified or unverified, but transaction.finish() is not called The app is then launched on Device B and listens for Transaction.updates Question: In this scenario, is it expected that Device B will or will not receive a callback for this unfinished consumable transaction? Or is it by design that unfinished consumable transactions are not guaranteed to be delivered across devices, regardless of verification state?

Our application is currently under review, and we are still facing issues because we receive a 401 Unauthorized response from the App Store Connect API when using the production environment. Our app integrates with Chargebee for subscription management, and in production, Chargebee is unable to authenticate with the App Store Server API. This results in a 401 Unauthorized error, preventing the user’s subscription from being synced correctly into our system. Interestingly, the same configuration works in the sandbox environment, but fails in production. We’ve tried authenticating using JWTs generated from multiple keys (including App Store Connect API / Team Keys with both Admin and App Manager access, and also In-App Purchase keys), all with the same result — sandbox access works, production does not. Here is our example code for testing with JWT token: const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken'); const fs = require('fs'); const https = require('https'); const config = { keyId: '<key_id>', issuerId: 'issuer_id', bundleId: 'bundle_id', privateKey: fs.readFileSync('path_to_key') }; const { keyId, issuerId, bundleId, privateKey } = config; const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); const jwtToken = jwt.sign( { iss: issuerId, iat: now, exp: now + 60 * 10, // 10 minutes is fine for test aud: 'appstoreconnect-v1', bid: bundleId }, privateKey, { algorithm: 'ES256', header: { alg: 'ES256', kid: keyId, typ: 'JWT' } } ); console.log('Generated JWT:\n', jwtToken); // prod const originalTransactionId = '<prod_transaction_id>'; const hostname = 'api.storekit.itunes.apple.com'; // sandbox // const originalTransactionId = '<sandbox_transaction_id>'; // const hostname = 'api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com' const options = { hostname, port: 443, path: `/inApps/v1/history/${originalTransactionId}`, method: 'GET', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${jwtToken}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, }; const callAppStoreConnectApi = async () => { const req = https.request(options, (res) => { console.log(`\nStatus Code: ${res.statusCode}`); let data = ''; res.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; }); res.on('end', () => { console.log('Response Body:\n', data || '[Empty]'); }); }); req.on('error', (e) => { console.error('Request Error:', e); }); req.end(); }; callAppStoreConnectApi(); With this code, we were able to authenticate successfully in the sandbox environment, but not in production. I read in this discussion: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/711801 that the issue was resolved once the app was published to the App Store, but I haven’t found any official documentation confirming this. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Dear Apple Support Team, We are currently implementing auto-renewable subscriptions in our iOS app and are testing the integration using the sandbox environment. On the iOS app side, the in-app purchase flow completes successfully and displays a "Purchase Successful" message. However, we are not receiving any server notification callbacks on our configured App Store Server Notifications (Sandbox) webhook URL. For your reference, the webhook URL we have set in App Store Connect (Sandbox) is: https://9c0f-182-79-123-254.ngrok-free.app/ios/webhook Despite successfully completing a subscription purchase in the sandbox, there is no evidence that the webhook is being triggered. We would appreciate your guidance in resolving this issue or confirming if there are any additional configurations or steps required on our end.

We are launching a new app with a subscription in-app purchase (IAP). The Status of the IAP is "Waiting for Review". We want to submit the app to app for review, but the section to select an IAP with the app is not appearing. According to online sources, if we submit a new app for review, without selecting the IAP that goes with it, then the app may be released in the App Store without users being able to purchase the IAP. This actually happened to us years ago and I can't remember how we got around it, but it was painful. It seems strange that Apple would allow this problem to persist for years. Why not just hire an intern to fix it? Maybe because they are too busy running around in circles at the new spaceship headquarters. Regardless, our IAP has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" status for a while now and I'm concerned it may never be approved. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey folks! In one of our apps we're using the FamilyControls framework to manage the screentime for the child. The app requires the Guardian to activate a subscription on his/her device to enable the functionality for the Child on the child device. We're currently using StoreKit 2 to get notified when there is an active subscription. The issue we're seeing (and our users) is that an activated subscription isn't instantly propagated to the Family members, in this case the device belonging to the child. Is this a known bug, and are the possible any workarounds? Currently we have to ask our users to "Restore Purchase" or wait minutes/hours for the app to active, which isn't a viable solution. We want it to "just work" :) Sincerely, César Pinto Castillo Ambi Studio

Hey everyone, I really need help. My app versions keep getting approved for distribution and my subscriptions and business agreements are all approved. Yet, when the paywall in my app appears, and someone clicks the subscribe button to pay, the IAP isn't appearing. It just loads forever. When I tested in Xcode it just kept saying products not found. Id's are the same, bundle id is the same, ive done everything. Can someone help pls.

I'm implementing PurchaseIntent.intents for App Store in-app purchase promotions, following Apple's WWDC guidance. The API only works on cold launch (killed→launch), but fails on background→foreground transitions, making App Store promotions unusable. Sample code as followed from WWDC23 video "What's new in StoreKit 2 and StoreKit Testing in Xcode". In the StoreKitManager observable class, I have this function which is initialized in a listening task: func listenForPurchaseIntent() -> Task<Void, Error> { return Task { [weak self] in for await purchase in PurchaseIntent.intents { guard let self else { continue } let product = purchase.product await self.purchaseProduct(product) } } } where purchaseProduct() will perform the call to: try await product.purchase() ISSUE: When the app is in background (after previously launched), and the purchase intent is initiated from Xcode Transaction Manager or using the "itms-services://?action=purchaseIntent" method, the system foregrounds my app but the purchase intent is never delivered to the waiting listener. The intent remains queued until the next cold launch (quit app and relaunch app). This could mean that if a user has installed the app, and has run the app, then tapped the promotional IAP from the App Store, the purchase intent will not show up until the next cold launch. If the app is in quit state, then the system will foreground the app, and purchase intent is delivered correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Launch app (listener starts in StoreKitManager.init()) Background app Add purchase intent via Xcode Transaction Manager Foreground app Result: No purchase sheet appears, no intent delivered Workaround attempts: Using this either in a view or the main app: func checkForPurchaseIntents() async { for await purchaseIntent in PurchaseIntent.intents { await storeKit.purchaseProduct(purchaseIntent.product) } } Applied to .onChange(of: scenePhase) - Doesn't work, nothing happens. Using UIApplication.willEnterForegroundNotification - Only works on the first time the app goes from background to foreground when purchase intent is sent. Doesn't work on second time or third time. • Attempting to creating fresh listening task on each foreground - Does not work. The question is: How are we supposed to implement the PurchaseIntent API? I have checked Apple sample projects like BackyardBirds, and sample projects from WWDC on StoreKit 2 but they never implemented Purchase Intent.

is there a way to make a test subscription in-app purchase expire immediately, for faster testing? it seems exceedingly complicated to test subscriptions if we have to a) wait until the next day for expiry, or b) keep on creating new apple ids to get into a fully unsubscribed state? it is still kind of madness testing this stuff, after all the years it has been available.

Hi. If the app is in landscape only and when the SKStoreProductViewController is presented, the safeArea changes to what looks like a portrait mode safe area. When the SKStoreProductViewController is dismissed, the safeArea does NOT revert back to the original values. Is there a way to force the safeArea to "reset"? I've submitted some bug tickets through Apple Feedback but I haven't received any response about it. The below code will pop up the SKStoreProductViewController and if you have a UIView that is constrained to the safe area, then you can visibly notice that the safe area is changed and doesn't go back. I have tested this on iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 Pro and in the Simulators. The incorrect behavior happens on those and probably more. Thanks. #import "ViewController.h" #import &amp;lt;StoreKit/StoreKit.h&amp;gt; @interface ViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) SKStoreProductViewController *productViewController; @end @implementation ViewController - (IBAction)buttonTapped:(id)sender { self.productViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init]; NSDictionary *parameters = @{ @"id" : @"6443575749" }; [self.productViewController loadProductWithParameters:parameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError * _Nullable error) { [self presentViewController:self.productViewController animated:YES completion:^{ // presented // The panel that is constraint to the safe area visibly shows that the safe area is no longer correct. }]; }]; } @end

Both the legacy StoreKit API and the new StoreKit 2 API return the incorrect storefront countryCode. My actual Apple ID region is Germany, and my Sandbox test user is set to France, yet the SDK consistently returns USA. Expected Results: The returned storefront countryCode should reflect the correct region - sandbox user region if signed in and real user region if not signed in with sandbox). Actual Results: Returned country code is USA with both SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode and await Storefront.current?.countryCode. Signing out/in, device reboot and even reset do not help, I'm stuck with USA storefront.
