when I have not verified payment method and we choose UPI then pop up shows Purchase In Progress and it shows notification for UPI app payment for apps like Gpay, Paytm. But when we approve or decline this payment StoreKit methods not called for success or failure and we have to kill app to refetch the status and stop the loader.

Hi! I’m new in programming apps for Apple Store and I’m creating my first app. I already send my for review but I get an answer of problems with the subs flow. If there’s anyone who can help me fix this problem and implement my subscriptions in my app and test it out I would be thankful, I want the flow work like in the image!
You can still renew your membership within the next 8 days and your apps will remain available on the App Store during this time. Open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.
I'm getting this message but renew button is not visible in Developer App or on website. How to to renew?
I have an Expo React Native application and I am using react-native-iap library. I have setup the URL for sandbox and production url to receive notifications when a something happens regarding subscriptions. I am not able to receive those notifications when I simulate the purchase on the Simulator using Xcode.
I then have used the node library app-store-server-library to mock a test notification and I am receiving the test notification when I call requestTestNotification method.
below is the react-native code I am using:
import {useEffect, useState} from "react";
import {
initConnection,
Sku,
Subscription,
useIAP,
SubscriptionIOS,
requestSubscription,
PurchaseError,
clearTransactionIOS
} from "react-native-iap";

import Heading from "@/components/Heading";
import subscriptionsProducts from "@/utilities/products";
function IAPScreen() {
const [isPurchasing, setIsPurchasing] = useState<boolean>(false);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState<boolean>(false);
const { subscriptions, currentPurchase, finishTransaction, getSubscriptions } = useIAP();
function RenderProduct({ item } : { item: Subscription }) {
const iosSubscription: SubscriptionIOS = item as SubscriptionIOS;
return(

}
async function HandlePurchase(sku: Sku) {
try {
setIsPurchasing(true);
await requestSubscription({
sku,
andDangerouslyFinishTransactionAutomaticallyIOS: false
});
}
catch (error: any) {
Alert.alert("Error", "Failed to purchase: " + error.message);
}

I am using a store kit file where I just edited the scheme of application to use that store kit file.
I would be really thankful If you can help me in this matter.
The phone is set up with the developer program to cancel subscriptions from the app we developed. However, after the OS update on the phone, the subscriptions no longer appear in the developer program, although the subscription does exist in the app itself. We are attaching the log.

Why do you think the subscription created in the app doesn’t show up in the sandbox?

Hello! I am trying to get my app set up to support external payments. The snag I am hitting at the moment is it seems that relevant pages are not accessible?
There is this old EU doc
https://developer.apple.com/support/apps-using-alternative-payment-providers-in-the-eu/
But the more updated US doc titled "Distributing apps in the U.S. that provide an external purchase link - Support" is not available where it should be https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement-us/
In addition the link for requesting the entitlement seems to be broken
https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/storekit-external-entitlement-us/
Any idea how one can access these? Perhaps this is just a temporary error?
Hello,
Our app has been released in Korea with an external payment feature.
The function that must display the required modal for external payments is as follows:
let result = try await ExternalPurchase.presentNoticeSheet()
guard result != .cancelled else {
return
}
However, while testing in the development environment, the API returns a result of continuedWithExternalPurchaseToken(token: String), but in the version distributed through the App Store, it returns cancelled.
We would like to know how we can receive the continuedWithExternalPurchaseToken result in the App Store version.
Thank you for your guidance. If anyone here has experienced a similar issue or found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your insights as well.
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?

Problem:
I'm implementing StoreKit 2 in my SwiftUI app. Products load successfully when I rebuild in Xcode, but on a fresh install, Product.products(for:) returns an empty array. The paywall shows "Unable to load pricing."
Setup:
Using StoreKit Configuration File (
.storekit
) for testing
Product IDs match exactly between config and code:
com..premium.lifetime (non-consumable)
com..premium.monthly (auto-renewable subscription)
com.****.premium.yearly (auto-renewable subscription)
StoreKitManager is a @MainActor singleton with @Published properties
What I've Tried:
Initial delay before loading - Added 1-second delay in init before calling loadProducts()
Product ID verification - Confirmed IDs match exactly between StoreKitConfig.storekit and code
Retry logic with exponential backoff - Implemented 3 retry attempts with 0.5s/1s/1.5s delays
Multiple calls to updatePurchasedProducts() - Called twice after initial load
Verified StoreKit configuration - File is properly added to project, has valid product definitions
Code Structure:
swift
@MainActor
final class StoreKitManager: ObservableObject {
static let shared = StoreKitManager()
@Published private(set) var products: [Product] = []
private init() {
updateListenerTask = listenForTransactions()
Task {
try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000)
await loadProducts() // Returns empty on fresh install
await updatePurchasedProducts()
}
}
}
Observations:
✅ Works perfectly after Xcode rebuild
❌ Fails on fresh app install (simulator & device)
❌ Product.products(for:) returns empty array (no error thrown)
✅ StoreKit configuration file is valid and properly configured
Question: Why does StoreKit need a rebuild to recognize products? Is there a proper initialization sequence I'm missing for fresh installs?
Environment:
Xcode [Version 26.0 beta 7]
iOS [IOS +17.0]
Testing with StoreKit Configuration File

I'm working on an app the has implemented inapp purchases. They have been working so far, and they keep working currently.
But just a couple of days ago, a specific user sent us a support ticket stating that when he purchases and item the bank charges it for the purchase, but within the app, the purchase fails and he doesn't receive the item.
He sent us screenshots showing:
The iOS native modal when a purchases has been finished correctly ("You're all set - Your purchase was successful ").
Right after that modal, the app shows an internal modal showing "The purchase failed, please, try again later".
Checking the app logs, that failure modal was triggered by "The operation couldn’t be completed. (StoreKit.StoreKitError error 1.)".
Reading docs about this error leads me to think about device or user restrictions (parental controls, usage limits, etc...). It seems that in theses cases the bank charge could be issued but refunded later once Apple ultimately declines the purchase.
However the user says that he doesn't have any kind of restriction. The only related thing is a "this device is also restricted by a profile" message, but everyone seems to have this message.
What could it be causing this issue? In what scenariowould the app show a native OK modal but a storekit error 1?
I'm pretty sure the app is well configured because I keep receiving purchases of all kind, from different users with any problem.

I have an app that works by being able to map IAP transactions to a predefined user ID. This means when I consume events from Apple's App Store Server Notifications endpoints I have to do a reverse lookup in order to assign permissions within my app.
Workflow:
User purchases subscription within the app via IAP. The app persists the subscriptionID from the Apple IAP library in my cloud database (Firestore).
Cloud function receives the event from App Store Server Notifications endpoint and looks up the user ID containing the persisted transactionID (with retries to avoid race condition).
Question:
This workflow works but it seems an improvement would be to allow dev's to append metadata, like the user ID, to the transaction submitted to IAP that we can access within the signedTransactionInfo of the event from the App Store Server Notifications endpoint in order to facilitate a direct lookup of the user document needing it's permissions updated. This would greatly simplify workflows that use non-Apple systems as a source of truth for app permissions. Does this actually exist already? If not, is there a feature request platform?

After creating a new weekly subscription option, I get inconsistent results for subscriptionPeriod. In local testing with a synced or a un-synced StoreKit file I am getting unit == .week (as expected) whereas in TestFlight I am getting unit == .day. This makes unit.localizedDescriptionsomewhat unusable in the paywall.
Am I missing something? Or is this bug or a limitation of StoreKit and/or TestFlight and/or newly created subscription options?
Affected code (in a custom SubscriptionStoreControlStyle):
private func priceDisplay(for pickerOption: Configuration.PickerOption) -> String {
var result = ""
if pickerOption.introductoryOffer != nil {
result += NSLocalizedString("then", comment: "") + " "
}
result += pickerOption.displayPrice
if let unit = pickerOption.subscriptionPeriod?.unit {
result += " / " + unit.localizedDescription
}
return result
}
private func percentageSaved(for pickerOption: Configuration.PickerOption, allOptions: [Product]) -> Int? {
guard let subscriptionPeriod = pickerOption.subscriptionPeriod, subscriptionPeriod != .weekly else {
return nil
}
let weeklyOption = allOptions.first { otherOption in
otherOption.subscription?.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly
}
guard let weeklyOption, weeklyOption.price > 0 else {
return nil
}
let percentageSaved = 100 - (pickerOption.price / (weeklyOption.price * 52)) * 100
return Int((percentageSaved as NSNumber).doubleValue)
}
We are using consumable in-app purchases. Starting from May 27th, we began receiving refund callbacks with the notificationType set to ONE_TIME_CHARGE immediately after users successfully completed a payment.
{
"notificationType": "ONE_TIME_CHARGE",
"signedPayload": "..."
}
During this period, we did not make any changes to our App release or server-side purchase handling logic.
Could this issue result in actual refunds being processed? What steps should we take to resolve this issue?
We also noticed in your changelog that a new notification type ONE_TIME_CHARGE has been introduced.
Can we safely ignore callbacks with the ONE_TIME_CHARGE notification type without affecting refund processing or user experience?

I tested a subscription with my developer account, it never charges but at the same time I can't cancel it anymore. It does not appear in the list of my official purchsed subscriptions. I tried to login to the sandbox with my developer account, but then when I click on "Manage" I just keep getting the error "Can't connect - retry".
I have already tried to logout from all the services, App store, etc. and re-login, nothing worked.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give any tips.
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'.
After downloading Backyard Birds and following the steps in the section "Configure the sample code project" (i.e. enabling local StoreKit testing in the scheme).
When I run the macOS app from within XCode, the following error occurs.
Whenever I try to purchase any item from within the app, I am presented with the following error dialogue:
"Couldn’t communicate with a helper application. Try your operation again. If that fails, quit and relaunch the application and try again."
This happens after I click the purchase button (i.e. the button that displays the price).
The Xcode logs show the following errors:

What I have tried so far:
created a new admin user, logged in as that user, installed Xcode and ran the Backyard Bird sample from there. Same error.
This also happens with my own app, when I am trying to test purchasing.
How can I further debug this problem?

I don't think its possible with In-App purchase but my colleague wanted to know and I just wanted to double check here.
