Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with In-App Purchases during App Review. What works My consumable IAP products load correctly using StoreKit2. TestFlight (sandbox) purchases work perfectly. Localizations are filled in and valid. Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax forms are active. IAP products are properly created in App Store Connect and marked as “Developer Action Needed” only because they wait for approval with the new binary. What fails During review I received: “We found that your in-app purchase products exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, we were not able to complete a purchase.” They didn’t provide any more technical details. Additional context The StoreKit configuration file is not included in the app archive. Product identifiers perfectly match those in App Store Connect. StoreKit2 purchase() works as expected on TestFlight. The app does not use server-side receipt validation - purchases are handled purely through StoreKit2 APIs, as recommended. My questions What could cause a situation where TestFlight purchases work but App Review cannot complete a purchase? Does Apple expect server-side receipt validation even for simple one-time consumables? Could there be a delay or sync issue causing IAP products to not be available to the reviewer yet? Is there anything I should check on the App Store Connect side beyond what I already verified? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated - I’m stuck because everything works in sandbox but fails only for reviewers. Thanks!

Hi, I've been unable to successfully test in the sandbox environment for a StoreKit 2 subscription group and can't seem to find the missing piece. I am calling the following line of code: let products = try await Product.products(for: [subscriptionID]) Expected behavior: The product is returned in the products array. Actual result: The array is empty I have done the following: Successfully tested our logic using a storekit configuration file locally in Xcode. Created the Subscription group in App Store Connect. The subscription product is currently "Waiting for Review", but it is our first so will not be approved without being attached to a distribution build review. Created a Sandbox user account in App Store Connect -> Users -> Sandbox Signed into the sandbox user account in Settings -> Developer -> Sandbox Apple Account Signed the Paid Apps Agreement for our organization A few debugging notes: I deleted all apps before installing from Xcode I've tried both locally and in TestFlight builds Restarted my device Verified productID matches the productID in App Store Connect I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm using Swift to verify receipts in myObjective C Mac Application using the following code: @objc class MyAppTransaction: NSObject{ @objc class func checkReceipt() async -> String { do { let verificationResult = try await AppTransaction.shared switch verificationResult { case .verified(_): return "VERIFIED" case .unverified(_, _): return "NO RECEIPT" } } catch { return "ERROR" //(StoreKit.StoreKitError) unknown } } } Starting today with my upgrade to Sequoia 15.4 and XCode 16.3 receipt validation is broken. The function is going to the catch and returning "ERROR" I can't set a break point in the do {} but if I set one at the return "ERROR", in the debugger error = (StoreKit.StoreKitError) unknown. the Compiler logs an error:Failed to parse AppTransaction: missingValue(for: [StoreKit.AppTransaction.Key.appTransactionID], expected: StoreKit.BackingValue). Reading the developer documentation I can't find anything about these struct members. I tried to use refresh() to get a receipt like I used to with exit(173) but the compiler says refresh () not found. This is extremely troubling because I can't debug my receipt validation code and I don't know if this will happen to my users. Do I just have to trust Apple that my users will have an application with a receipt attached? What can I do?

I am developing and testing Apple Promotional Offers and encountered issues during implementation. Purchase Failure When using the following API, the promotional purchase sheet is displayed, but after attempting payment, the transaction fails. API: public static func promotionalOffer( offerID: String, keyID: String, nonce: UUID, signature: Data, timestamp: Int ) -> Product.PurchaseOption Observed behavior: Alert shows: Unable to Purchase [Environment: Xcode] Not Eligible for Offer Console logs: AMSErrorDomain Code=305 ASDErrorDomain Code=3903 Discount Not Applied When calling this API, there are no errors, but the promotional price is not applied, and the user still sees the original price. API: public static func promotionalOffer( _ offerID: String, compactJWS: String ) -> [Product.PurchaseOption] Questions Does Promotional Offers support testing with .storekit files in Xcode? Can Promotional Offers be tested with sandbox accounts using real offers configured in App Store Connect? How should I troubleshoot and resolve the above issues? • Could it be related to the subscription history of the sandbox account? • Do I need to use TestFlight instead of Xcode to test certain scenarios? • Could this be caused by signature parameters or StoreKit configuration?

Hello all! My application written with C++ and using StoreKit1. For now my application using bridge C++/Objective-CPP/Objective-C/Swift. Since StoreKit1 declared "deprecated" got a question of how to implement correctly StoreKit2 in C++ application, mostly everything about Renewable Subscriptions. StoreKit2 have no direct API in Objective-C, it's available only in Swift. Which is the way the best and correct way: -- for on-device writing C library and in it implement Swift? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 into library itself? -- for on-device somehow write kind of wrapper for Swift StoreKit 2 within translation of all of objects in Objective-C and implement it with C++/Objective-CPP bridge? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 in C++ project written with CMake? Here https://github.com/compnerd/swift-cmake-examples/tree/main the one of the examples of interoperability C++/Swift with CMake. But how to use exactly with StoreKit2? -- only using server side solution?

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

hello, I have an app with In-App purchase set up, it works fine in TestFlight on an iOS device but the download from the App Store gives me a transaction failed message. I tried to replicate in the simulator but from what I've read is that you can't do in-app purchase testing in the simulator. Perhaps I'm wrong here but I've tried multiple sandbox accounts, etc.. and still get an unusual "...password can't be reused..." error (pasted below) in the debug description. I'm curious if anyone else has dealt with this scenario and if so how did you go about researching/identifying the issue and/or resolving it. Partial error message: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x60000000e370>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=530 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x600000c74750 {Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=100 "Authentication Failed The authentication failed." UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=2 "Password reuse not available for account The account state does not support password reuse." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Password reuse not available for account The account state does not support password reuse., AMSDescription=Password reuse not available for account, AMSFailureReason=The account state does not support password reuse.}"

Regarding App Store Server Notifications V2,we are currently using Notifications V2 in a production environment. It is set up so that if the server receives the notification successfully, it returns 200 after about 30 seconds, and if an error occurs, it returns 400 or 500. However, the notification is being resent multiple times from Apple's server, at 1 hour, 12 hours, and 24 hours. Is it necessary to return the notification using Apple's API?

The development subscription management screen for managing your sandbox account subscriptions is today showing products that belong to other apps. Is there a known issue right now? Created a FB with screenshots FB FB20199893

I just converted my App to Freemium, but the method is used to give user, that bought the App before it was free, access to the paid futures seems not to be working. I am getting the original Purchase Date from the AppTransaction (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/originalpurchasedate) and comparing that to a set date where the App Model changed. In Test Flight this is working without any Problems but on the Live System, users that have purchased the App do not get access! let shared = try await AppTransaction.refresh() if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared { result(appTransaction.originalPurchaseDate.ISO8601Format()). } I am using flutter to develop the App and the result()... send the string back to the flutter side. Here is the code of the Flutter side: Future<void> restorePurchases() async { SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.pending); await InAppPurchase.instance.restorePurchases(); if (Platform.isIOS) { DateTime changedToFreemium = DateTime.utc(2025, 4, 7, 11, 0, 0); String? purchaseDateRaw = await IosFlutterChannel().getOriginalPurchaseDate(); if (kDebugMode) { print("Purchase Date Raw: $purchaseDateRaw"); } if (purchaseDateRaw != null) { DateTime purchaseDate = DateTime.parse(purchaseDateRaw); if (purchaseDate.isBefore(changedToFreemium)) { if (kDebugMode) { print("Restoring legacy purchases"); } SubscriptionProvider().update(true, SubscriptionStatus.active, SubscriptionType.fs_lifetime); } else { if (kDebugMode) { print("Not restoring legacy purchases"); } } } } SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.purchased); } Console Log when running in Test Environment: flutter: Purchase Date Raw: 2013-08-01T07:00:00Z flutter: Restoring legacy purchases Thanks!

I have an iOS app with a main target and an app extension. I want the app extension to write data to the SwiftData in App Groups, while the main target reads the data. However, currently, the app extension only has permission to read data, not to write it.Is the issue due to my incorrect configuration or an Apple-imposed restriction?

I try to call Get Transaction Info from App Store Server API, and the transactionId is for a Non-consumable type product, but it is odd that there are so many different transactionId and they have a same originalTransactionId { "bundleId": "${bundleId}", "environment": "Production", "inAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate": 1691220528000, "originalTransactionId": "${originalTransactionId}", "productId": "${productId}", "purchaseDate": 1691220528000, "quantity": 1, "signedDate": 1692590989925, "storefront": "USA", "storefrontId": "143441", "transactionId": "${originalTransactionId}", "transactionReason": "PURCHASE", "type": "Non-Consumable" } the defination of Non-Consumable is can only purchase once for same apple account. But why there would have originalTransactionId?

I'm using the SwiftUI view SubscriptionStoreView (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/subscriptionstoreview/) with a subscription group that has 2 subscriptions. I set up a free trial offer in App Store Connect (https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/set-up-introductory-offers-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions/). The storekit file in Xcode is synced with the App Store. In debug build, this works and appears correctly, showing the free trial offer: But in release build, the free trial offer is not shown: The code is very simple: SubscriptionStoreView(productIDs: [ "[PRODUCT ID FOR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION]", "[PRODUCT ID FOR BIMONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION]" ]) Does anyone have a solution? Thank you. (Xcode 16.3, macOS 15.5, iOS 18.5)

I am currently developing an auto-renewal subscription in-app purchase for my app. Currently, the subscription items have already been approved in appStoreConnect, and the .store file is synced with appStoreConnect, so the subscription items are displayed well and the test is also progressing well. However, when I build without using the .store file to perform sandbox testing, the subscription items do not appear and response.invalidProductIdentifiers appears. Is there anything I need to do additionally so that the subscription items can appear in response.products? ps. The bank account item in the contract is in 'processing' status, and the paid app contract status is 'waiting for user information'.

I'm developing storekitV2, my app is providing the way to refund some product, and I use method below. func beginRefundRequest(in scene: UIWindowScene) async throws -> Transaction.RefundRequestStatus however when i call the method, the modal view presented but the view shows error with message 'cannot connect'. when I select retry button, something done with indicator and get same result. how can I solve this problem?

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.

I try to access the AppDistributor.current (using try await) and the property never seem to return nor throw. The code I'm using looks like this: do { print("accessing current") let current = try await AppDistributor.current print("current obtained") switch(current) { case .appStore: return "AppStore" default: return "Unknown" } } catch { return "Exception: \(error)" } But the log only shows the accessing current and never the current obtained. Trying to step in the property starts with some assembly, but at some point, the debugger just never returned. I join a full Swift file of a sample test I'm using: SwiftMarketplaceTests.swift

Dear community, Context My company operates in the European Union, where not so long ago there appeared the possibility to accept an ["Alternative Terms Addendum for Apps in the EU"] (https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/download/alternate_eu_terms_addendum.pdf), which, among others, gives us the possibility to use an alternative payment provider, other than Apple's In App Purchase PSP system (ref: Apple docs). My company did accept it and was granted the StoreKit External Purchase Entitlement (com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase) entitlement, with which we integrated a different PSP, so now we want to incorporate the reporting to Apple's External Purchase Server API. We are currently integrating with the External Purchase Server API and have encountered a couple of issues I would appreciate clarification on: Question 1 Is there a way to retrieve an overview or summary of the current subscription states on Apple’s servers as a result of the submitted reports to External Purchase Server API? Specifically, I would like to verify the expected outcomes before the monthly invoice is issued by Apple and to understand the subscription states for the test users I used during this process and for future reference as well. Question 2 In one scenario, I initiated a one-year subscription, and in the middle of its period, I submitted a RENEWAL for one month with a higher price. I expected the request to fail due to overlapping periods and/or pricing conflicts, but both submissions were accepted without error. Do you have an idea about: What happens at the end of the renewed month? Will the subscription continue with the renewed (higher) amount, revert to the original (lower) annual rate, or be canceled? Where can I view the final state and billing plan for that subscription? Thank you for your assistance, we are looking forward for any kind of help or information regarding this topic.

Hi everyone, I've been going back and forth with Apple’s review team for over 10 days now, and I'm still unable to get my first In-App Purchase (IAP) working correctly. Here's what’s happening: ✅ The IAP works perfectly when I build and run directly from Xcode. ❌ However, when I test the app via TestFlight, tapping the purchase buttons does nothing—the IAP sheet doesn't appear. Key issue (I think): I believe the IAP hasn't been submitted properly for review. On App Store Connect, I cannot select the IAP under the “In-App Purchases” section of the version submission page. It's grayed out or not listed at all. As a result, Apple keeps rejecting my binary due to the IAP not being included in the review. What I’ve already done: Created the IAP (non-consumable) Set pricing and cleared all errors Checked Bundle ID, Product ID, and entitlements Added In-App Purchase capability to the app target Uploaded the binary via Xcode Waited multiple times for status updates My questions: What’s the correct process to link the IAP to a specific app version if it doesn't show up in the version page? Could this be an issue with App Store Connect metadata or approval timing, or am I missing something in Xcode/build settings? Is there any way to force re-sync the IAP so it appears when submitting the build? Has anyone resolved a similar issue recently? This process has been incredibly frustrating, and the feedback from the review team so far has been very vague. I would really appreciate any detailed insight or steps to ensure the IAP is submitted correctly and works on TestFlight. Thank you in advance!

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.
