Landscape safe area is incorrect when presenting SKStoreProductViewController
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 <StoreKit/StoreKit.h> @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

Clarification on Offer-Code Redemption When Streamlined Purchasing Is Turned Off
Background We sell a suite of iPadOS/macOS apps that share a single auto-renewable subscription using this architecture. Per “Offering a Subscription Across Multiple Apps” we require users to sign in before purchasing so we can propagate the entitlement and avoid duplicate subscriptions across apps. To enforce that sign-in step we plan to turn off Streamlined Purchasing in App Store Connect. Question We also want to distribute subscription offer codes (for promotion, retention, appeasing dissatisfied customers, etc.). After Streamlined Purchasing is turned off, will customers still be able to redeem offer codes outside the app (App Store “Redeem Code” UI or redemption URL)? If outside-app redemption remains possible, it bypasses our sign-in gate and could let the same customer buy the suite twice (once via each app). Is there an approved method to limit offer-code redemption to the in-app flow only, or otherwise prevent such duplicate subscriptions? If no such limitation exists, what best-practice workaround does Apple recommend for multi-app suites that must turn off Streamlined Purchasing yet still wish to use offer codes without duplication risk? Environment StoreKit 2; server-side receipt validation & cross-app entitlement propagation. Apps support the in-app presentCodeRedemptionSheet flow. We expect to use both one-time-use and custom offer codes.

Specific IAP products returning empty data - Possible StoreKit issue
Hello developers, We're facing a critical issue with our app and need your insights: Since today, 3 specific IAP products return empty data when calling Product.products(for: [productId]). This affects all users, preventing any successful purchases of these items. Other IAP products seem unaffected. let products = try await Product.products(for: [productId]) Key details: Production environment Issue started: 2025.6.17 No recent app updates All products show as "Approved" in App Store Connect Questions: Has anyone experienced similar issues recently? Could this be a StoreKit or App Store system problem? Any suggestions for diagnosing or resolving this, besides contacting Apple Support? Recommendations for temporary workarounds? This is severely impacting our business. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Transaction.currentEntitlements is not consistent
I've recently published an app, and while developing it, I could always get consistent entitlements from Transaction.currentEntitlements. But now I see some inconsistent behaviour for a subscribed device in the AppStore version. It looks like sometimes the entitlements do not emit value for the subscriptions. It usually happens on the first couple tries when the device goes offline, or on the first couple tries when the device goes online. But it also happens randomly at other times as well. Can there be a problem with Transaction.currentEntitlements when the connectivity was just changed? Of course my implementation may also be broken. I will give you the details of my implementation below. I have a SubscriptionManager that is observable (irrelevant parts of the entity is omitted): final class SubscriptionManager: NSObject, ObservableObject { private let productIds = ["yearly", "monthly"] private(set) var purchasedProductIDs = Set<String>() var hasUnlockedPro: Bool { return !self.purchasedProductIDs.isEmpty } @MainActor func updatePurchasedProducts() async { var purchasedProductIDs = Set<String>() for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { guard case .verified(let transaction) = result else { continue } if transaction.revocationDate == nil { purchasedProductIDs.insert(transaction.productID) } else { purchasedProductIDs.remove(transaction.productID) } } // only update if changed to avoid unnecessary published triggers if purchasedProductIDs != self.purchasedProductIDs { self.purchasedProductIDs = purchasedProductIDs } } } And I call the updatePurchasedProducts() when the app first launches in AppDelegate, before returning true on didFinishLaunchingWithOptions as: Task(priority: .high) { await DependencyContainer.shared.subscriptionManager.updatePurchasedProducts() } You may be wondering maybe the request is not finished yet and I fail to refresh my UI, but it is not the case. Because later on, every time I do something related to a subscribed content, I check the hasUnlockedPro computed property of the subscription manager, which still returns false, meaning the purchasedProductIDs is empty. You may also be curious about the dependency container approach, but I ensured by testing multiple times that there is only one instance of the SubscriptionManager at all times in the app. Which makes me think maybe there is something wrong with Transaction.currentEntitlements I would appreciate any help regarding this problem, or would like to know if anyone else experienced similar problems.

How to make StoreKit config & App Store Server notifications work together?
Hi, Using StoreKit 2 with App Store Server notifications like so: User selects a purchase App calls Product.purchase() If successful, App Store notifies our backend with the transaction details, importantly with a UUID for the transaction ID. This works fine, but when I try to test contingent pricing via the handy StoreKit config Transaction Manager in Xcode by creating a PurchaseIntent if I then complete the purchase in the app the Transaction ID is sequential, (0 for the first, 1 for the second etc), which doesn't work for us as the backend might already have that ID stored so the purchase never completes. If I disable the config file it works fine, but then I can't use the Transaction Manager debug tool. Is there a way to override the ID of a custom transaction that's created via the StoreKit configuration? Thanks

Issue with UPI IAP Transactions Stuck in Pending State and No Rewards Granted
Hi everyone, We’ve encountered an issue in some of our games where IAP purchases made using UPI are going into a pending state. Since these purchases are for consumable items, the rewards are not granted at the time of purchase. Even after the transactions are eventually confirmed, the rewards still aren't received. We tested this with two separate UPI transactions, and both resulted in the same pending state issue. Interestingly, when we tried making a purchase using Apple Wallet afterward, the transaction completed successfully on the first attempt, without any pending state. This issue seems specific to UPI transactions. Could anyone help us understand why this is happening or if there’s a recommended way to handle such cases? Thanks in advance!

StoreKit2
Hello, I use Storekit2 to test the purchase of subscription products. After purchasing a subscription product in the sandbox, it will automatically renew 12 times, and then it will no longer automatically renew. When I click to purchase again, calling the try await product.purchase() method does not pop up the purchase pop-up window. In fact, it will directly go to the case let .success(.verified(transaction)): step, and the Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty

App Store Server Notifications and API Client - Toggling Sandbox vs Production Environment
The documentation mentions the following: Verify your receipt first with the production URL; then verify with the sandbox URL if you receive a 21007 status code. This approach ensures you don’t have to switch between URLs while your app is in testing, in review by App Review, or live in the App Store. This way, you can use one server environment to handle both Sandbox and Production environments. It is necessary to pass App Review. However, I'm not manually hitting these URLs - I'm using Apple's libraries. Specifically, the environment is used in SignedDataVerifier and AppStoreServerAPIClient. (I can't link to these because, for some reason, the domain apple.github.io is not allowed. The documentation for these is only found there. You can find it quickly by searching these terms and the domain.) Here is how SignedDataVerifier is being used: const verifier = new SignedDataVerifier( appleRootCertificates, APPLE_ENABLE_ONLINE_CHECKS, APPLE_ENVIRONMENT, APPLE_BUNDLE_ID, APPLE_APP_ID ) const verifiedNotification: ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload = await verifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification(signedPayload) if (!verifiedNotification) { // Failure return } Here is how AppStoreServerAPIClient is being used: const appStoreServerAPIClient = new AppStoreServerAPIClient( SIGNING_KEY, APPLE_IAP_KEY_ID, APPLE_IAP_ISSUER_ID, APPLE_BUNDLE_ID, APPLE_ENVIRONMENT ) const statusResponse: StatusResponse = await appStoreServerAPIClient.getAllSubscriptionStatuses(originalTransactionId, [Status.ACTIVE]) In the source code for SignedDataVerifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification, I can see that it throws a VerificationException(VerificationStatus.INVALID_ENVIRONMENT) error . So for SignedDataVerifier is it as simple as wrapping my code in a try/catch and checking that the error's status code is 21007? I'm unsure about this because if you scroll to the bottom of the linked source code file, you can see the enumeration VerificationStatus, but it's unclear if this member has a value of 21007. The source code for AppStoreServerAPIClient only says that it throws an APIException if a response could not be processed, so I'm not too sure about how to handle this one.

Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness We found that your in-app purchase products exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, we were unable to make purchase. The Start Free Trail button was unresponsive t
I've been stuck with this rejection. Trial button 'greyed out' or non responsive. What they are seeing is my subscriptions not loading into the pay wall. We think its because the subscriptions haven't been reviewed and approved in order for them to populate the pay wall (activating the pay wall so it isn't 'greyed out'. Has anyone had and solved this issue?

Not receiving App Store Server Notifications for failed transactions
We are currently integrating In-App Purchases for our app and have configured App Store Server Notifications (v2) in the Sandbox environment. During testing, we observed the following issue: When a transaction is cancelled, declined, or pending (e.g., Ask to Buy flows or authorization pending), No App Store Server Notification is sent to our webhook endpoint. We only receive webhook events where the status is "purchased". This becomes a critical problem for us because our backend must accurately track transaction states including failed and pending purchases, especially for wallet top-up use cases. Additionally, we tried mocking failed transactions (via Xcode local environment and turning off In-App Purchases from Developer Settings) to simulate a technical failure scenario. Even in these cases, no webhook notification was received when the purchase failed server-side. Is it expected behavior in Sandbox that only successful transactions ("purchased") trigger webhooks? Are failed or pending transactions suppressed in Sandbox intentionally? Will webhook behavior be different in Production (i.e., will we receive webhook notifications for failures there)? Is there any extra configuration or entitlement needed to fully test failure scenarios via webhooks in Sandbox?

TestFlight user cannot re-purchase expired auto-renewable subscription – only restored purchases returned
I’m testing an auto-renewable subscription on TestFlight. Now the user can't re-purchase the same product – Apple just restores the old (expired) one, and no payment sheet appears. How can I let the same TestFlight user re-subscribe to an expired product? Do I have to create a new productId for every test cycle?

Inconsistent appTransactionId in Transaction History
Issue Description When using the App Store Server API endpoint GET v2/history/{transactionId} to retrieve transaction history for a specific transaction, I'm observing unexpected changes in the appTransactionId field across related transactions in the same subscription group. Important Context: This is a "clean" auto-renewable subscription with no user intervention - the user has had continuous auto-renewals without any upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, or resubscriptions. The subscription has been renewing automatically and successfully throughout the entire period. API Call GET v2/history/1000000000000001 Response Data The API returns the following transaction history, where I notice the appTransactionId values are inconsistent across what should be a straightforward auto-renewal sequence: Note: The data below has been sanitized for privacy protection (IDs, bundle identifiers, etc. have been replaced with example values), but the logical relationships, date sequences, and the core issue remain identical to the original data. Array ( [0] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000001 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000001 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1743784032000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1743784034000 [expiresDate] => 1746376032000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => PURCHASE // Original purchase [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000001 // Different value ) [1] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000002 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000002 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1746376032000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1746347349000 [expiresDate] => 1749054432000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // First auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same for renewals ) [2] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000003 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000003 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1749054432000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1749025657000 [expiresDate] => 1751646432000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // Second auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same as previous renewal ) [3] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000004 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000004 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1751646432000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1751617840000 [expiresDate] => 1754324832000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // Third auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same as previous renewals ) ) Questions Is this behavior expected? Should the appTransactionId change between the original purchase and subsequent renewals within the same subscription group, especially when there are no user actions (upgrades/downgrades/cancellations/resubscriptions)? What determines the appTransactionId value? The documentation doesn't clearly explain when this identifier might change or what triggers a new value. This is particularly puzzling since this is a straightforward auto-renewal scenario. How should we handle this in our backend logic? Should we treat transactions with different appTransactionId values as separate entities, or should we rely on originalTransactionId for grouping related subscription transactions? Is this a known issue? We've seen similar concerns in the community regarding transaction ID inconsistencies, but this specific case involves a clean auto-renewal flow without any complicating factors.

How to handle subscription notifications with future purchase date
Our app server has subscription feature and processes purchase life cycles based on App Store Server Notification v1. Last year, when users purchased subscriptions during the following timeframe, we received "INITIAL_BUY" notifications with "unified_receipt.Latest_receipt_info.purchase_date" set to future date(approx. 1 hour after the actual purchase). 2024-11-03 08:00:00 - 2024-11-03 09:00:00 Etc/GMT (UTC) For example, we received the following v1 notification at 2024-11-03 08:36:33 Etc/GMT. "notification_type": "INITIAL_BUY" "unified_receipt.latest_receipt_info[].purchase_date": "2024-11-03 09:36:02 Etc/GMT" Our server grants subscription entitlement based on "purchase_date" so the users had to wait 1 hour before the subscription features became available. The timeframe coincided with the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., so we assume that it affected the behavior, but our country doesn't adopt daylight saving time. We have some questions regarding this behavior. In countries without daylight saving time, how should we handle such notifications with future purchase date in order to properly grant subscription entitlement? In App Store Server Notification v2, could purchase date be set to future date at the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., just as in v1 notifications? JWSTransactionDecodedPayload.purchaseDate

Unauthorized for Advanced Commerce API Purchase
Hi! My product SKU has been approved for Advanced Commerce API. I successfully receive a purchase pop-up with the correct information. However, I am still having issues with completing the purchase. I always receive Unauthorize error when I confirm the purchase (subscription in my case; see the screenshot). I am using the node.js server library to sign the request. I made sure that the account is a valid account enabled for Sandbox. Logs unfortunately don't indicate any further detail. Thanks for your advice! We've been stuck on this for a while now and would appreciate your help. Marek

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

In iOS 26 beta3 version, the finishTransaction method is unable to remove transactions from the SKPaymentQueue, causing transactions to remain in the queue even after being processed.
We have some users who have upgraded to iOS 26 beta3. Currently, we observe that when these users make in-app purchases, our code calls [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]; method, and we clearly receive the successful removal callback in the delegate method - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue removedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions. However, when users click on products with the same productId again, the method - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray *)transactions still returns information about previously removed transactions, preventing users from making further in-app purchases.

Migrating to StoreKit 2
Hi Friends, I have an iOS app, which uses around 500 in app purchases for various modules. I am using StoreKit for in app purchase, now trying to migrate this to StoreKit 2. I am using Product.products(for:) method to fetch all the products by sending identifiers of all the 500 In app purchases. In response, I am getting details of only 160 products, the method is not returning remaining in app purchases. What could be the reason for this behaviour, how to get rid of the issue? May be is this the issue will happen only on TestFlight? If someone from Apple assures about it, we have plan to submit the app. Please advise, Thank you.

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?

After purchasing a subscription product in the sandbox, it will automatically renew 12 times, and then it will no longer automatically renew. When I click to purchase again, calling the try await product.purchase() method does not pop up the purchase pop-up window. In fact, it will directly go to the case let .success(.verified(transaction)): step, and the Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty

App Store Server Notifications and API Client - Toggling Sandbox vs Production Environment
The documentation mentions the following: Verify your receipt first with the production URL; then verify with the sandbox URL if you receive a 21007 status code. This approach ensures you don’t have to switch between URLs while your app is in testing, in review by App Review, or live in the App Store. This way, you can use one server environment to handle both Sandbox and Production environments. It is necessary to pass App Review. However, I'm not manually hitting these URLs - I'm using Apple's libraries. Specifically, the environment is used in SignedDataVerifier and AppStoreServerAPIClient. (I can't link to these because, for some reason, the domain apple.github.io is not allowed. The documentation for these is only found there. You can find it quickly by searching these terms and the domain.) Here is how SignedDataVerifier is being used: const verifier = new SignedDataVerifier( appleRootCertificates, APPLE_ENABLE_ONLINE_CHECKS, APPLE_ENVIRONMENT, APPLE_BUNDLE_ID, APPLE_APP_ID ) const verifiedNotification: ResponseBodyV2DecodedPayload = await verifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification(signedPayload) if (!verifiedNotification) { // Failure return } Here is how AppStoreServerAPIClient is being used: const appStoreServerAPIClient = new AppStoreServerAPIClient( SIGNING_KEY, APPLE_IAP_KEY_ID, APPLE_IAP_ISSUER_ID, APPLE_BUNDLE_ID, APPLE_ENVIRONMENT ) const statusResponse: StatusResponse = await appStoreServerAPIClient.getAllSubscriptionStatuses(originalTransactionId, [Status.ACTIVE]) In the source code for SignedDataVerifier.verifyAndDecodeNotification, I can see that it throws a VerificationException(VerificationStatus.INVALID_ENVIRONMENT) error . So for SignedDataVerifier is it as simple as wrapping my code in a try/catch and checking that the error's status code is 21007? I'm unsure about this because if you scroll to the bottom of the linked source code file, you can see the enumeration VerificationStatus, but it's unclear if this member has a value of 21007. The source code for AppStoreServerAPIClient only says that it throws an APIException if a response could not be processed, so I'm not too sure about how to handle this one.

Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness We found that your in-app purchase products exhibited one or more bugs which create a poor user experience. Specifically, we were unable to make purchase. The Start Free Trail button was unresponsive t
I've been stuck with this rejection. Trial button 'greyed out' or non responsive. What they are seeing is my subscriptions not loading into the pay wall. We think its because the subscriptions haven't been reviewed and approved in order for them to populate the pay wall (activating the pay wall so it isn't 'greyed out'. Has anyone had and solved this issue?

Not receiving App Store Server Notifications for failed transactions
We are currently integrating In-App Purchases for our app and have configured App Store Server Notifications (v2) in the Sandbox environment. During testing, we observed the following issue: When a transaction is cancelled, declined, or pending (e.g., Ask to Buy flows or authorization pending), No App Store Server Notification is sent to our webhook endpoint. We only receive webhook events where the status is "purchased". This becomes a critical problem for us because our backend must accurately track transaction states including failed and pending purchases, especially for wallet top-up use cases. Additionally, we tried mocking failed transactions (via Xcode local environment and turning off In-App Purchases from Developer Settings) to simulate a technical failure scenario. Even in these cases, no webhook notification was received when the purchase failed server-side. Is it expected behavior in Sandbox that only successful transactions ("purchased") trigger webhooks? Are failed or pending transactions suppressed in Sandbox intentionally? Will webhook behavior be different in Production (i.e., will we receive webhook notifications for failures there)? Is there any extra configuration or entitlement needed to fully test failure scenarios via webhooks in Sandbox?

TestFlight user cannot re-purchase expired auto-renewable subscription – only restored purchases returned
I’m testing an auto-renewable subscription on TestFlight. Now the user can't re-purchase the same product – Apple just restores the old (expired) one, and no payment sheet appears. How can I let the same TestFlight user re-subscribe to an expired product? Do I have to create a new productId for every test cycle?

Inconsistent appTransactionId in Transaction History
Issue Description When using the App Store Server API endpoint GET v2/history/{transactionId} to retrieve transaction history for a specific transaction, I'm observing unexpected changes in the appTransactionId field across related transactions in the same subscription group. Important Context: This is a "clean" auto-renewable subscription with no user intervention - the user has had continuous auto-renewals without any upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, or resubscriptions. The subscription has been renewing automatically and successfully throughout the entire period. API Call GET v2/history/1000000000000001 Response Data The API returns the following transaction history, where I notice the appTransactionId values are inconsistent across what should be a straightforward auto-renewal sequence: Note: The data below has been sanitized for privacy protection (IDs, bundle identifiers, etc. have been replaced with example values), but the logical relationships, date sequences, and the core issue remain identical to the original data. Array ( [0] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000001 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000001 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1743784032000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1743784034000 [expiresDate] => 1746376032000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => PURCHASE // Original purchase [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000001 // Different value ) [1] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000002 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000002 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1746376032000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1746347349000 [expiresDate] => 1749054432000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // First auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same for renewals ) [2] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000003 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000003 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1749054432000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1749025657000 [expiresDate] => 1751646432000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // Second auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same as previous renewal ) [3] => Array ( [transactionId] => 1000000000000004 [originalTransactionId] => 1000000000000001 [webOrderLineItemId] => 1000000000000004 [bundleId] => com.example.myapp [productId] => MonthlySubscription [subscriptionGroupIdentifier] => 20000000 [purchaseDate] => 1751646432000 [originalPurchaseDate] => 1751617840000 [expiresDate] => 1754324832000 [quantity] => 1 [type] => Auto-Renewable Subscription [inAppOwnershipType] => PURCHASED [signedDate] => 1751868174651 [environment] => Production [transactionReason] => RENEWAL // Third auto-renewal [storefront] => USA [storefrontId] => 143441 [price] => 100000 [currency] => USD [appTransactionId] => 700000000000000002 // Same as previous renewals ) ) Questions Is this behavior expected? Should the appTransactionId change between the original purchase and subsequent renewals within the same subscription group, especially when there are no user actions (upgrades/downgrades/cancellations/resubscriptions)? What determines the appTransactionId value? The documentation doesn't clearly explain when this identifier might change or what triggers a new value. This is particularly puzzling since this is a straightforward auto-renewal scenario. How should we handle this in our backend logic? Should we treat transactions with different appTransactionId values as separate entities, or should we rely on originalTransactionId for grouping related subscription transactions? Is this a known issue? We've seen similar concerns in the community regarding transaction ID inconsistencies, but this specific case involves a clean auto-renewal flow without any complicating factors.

How to handle subscription notifications with future purchase date
Our app server has subscription feature and processes purchase life cycles based on App Store Server Notification v1. Last year, when users purchased subscriptions during the following timeframe, we received "INITIAL_BUY" notifications with "unified_receipt.Latest_receipt_info.purchase_date" set to future date(approx. 1 hour after the actual purchase). 2024-11-03 08:00:00 - 2024-11-03 09:00:00 Etc/GMT (UTC) For example, we received the following v1 notification at 2024-11-03 08:36:33 Etc/GMT. "notification_type": "INITIAL_BUY" "unified_receipt.latest_receipt_info[].purchase_date": "2024-11-03 09:36:02 Etc/GMT" Our server grants subscription entitlement based on "purchase_date" so the users had to wait 1 hour before the subscription features became available. The timeframe coincided with the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., so we assume that it affected the behavior, but our country doesn't adopt daylight saving time. We have some questions regarding this behavior. In countries without daylight saving time, how should we handle such notifications with future purchase date in order to properly grant subscription entitlement? In App Store Server Notification v2, could purchase date be set to future date at the end of daylight saving time in the U.S., just as in v1 notifications? JWSTransactionDecodedPayload.purchaseDate

Unauthorized for Advanced Commerce API Purchase
Hi! My product SKU has been approved for Advanced Commerce API. I successfully receive a purchase pop-up with the correct information. However, I am still having issues with completing the purchase. I always receive Unauthorize error when I confirm the purchase (subscription in my case; see the screenshot). I am using the node.js server library to sign the request. I made sure that the account is a valid account enabled for Sandbox. Logs unfortunately don't indicate any further detail. Thanks for your advice! We've been stuck on this for a while now and would appreciate your help. Marek

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

In iOS 26 beta3 version, the finishTransaction method is unable to remove transactions from the SKPaymentQueue, causing transactions to remain in the queue even after being processed.
We have some users who have upgraded to iOS 26 beta3. Currently, we observe that when these users make in-app purchases, our code calls [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction]; method, and we clearly receive the successful removal callback in the delegate method - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue removedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions. However, when users click on products with the same productId again, the method - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray *)transactions still returns information about previously removed transactions, preventing users from making further in-app purchases.

Migrating to StoreKit 2
Hi Friends, I have an iOS app, which uses around 500 in app purchases for various modules. I am using StoreKit for in app purchase, now trying to migrate this to StoreKit 2. I am using Product.products(for:) method to fetch all the products by sending identifiers of all the 500 In app purchases. In response, I am getting details of only 160 products, the method is not returning remaining in app purchases. What could be the reason for this behaviour, how to get rid of the issue? May be is this the issue will happen only on TestFlight? If someone from Apple assures about it, we have plan to submit the app. Please advise, Thank you.

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?
