Hello,
I'm working on an application that requires the use of significant location changes and visits, in addition to region monitoring and standard continuous location delivery (foreground and background).
iOS 17 and iOS 18 introduced changes to how we can monitor distinct regions of interest (with CLMonitor) as well as receive location updates (with CLLocationUpdate).
But I couldn't find any information regarding how to work with
Significant location changes. Do we still need to create a location manager and call startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()? Where are the updates received in this case, in the locationManager(_:didUpdateLocations:) or in the liveUpdates async sequence?
Visits. Same question here, for visit monitoring to work, do we still have to create a location manager then call startMonitoringVisits()? Where are the visits being notified? Still in locationManager(_:didVisit:) or in the liveUpdates asynchronous sequence?
I just want to be sure I understand correctly how to use the updates, and if some features of Core Location still need to use a location manager and the delegate to receive the events.
Maybe additional CLCondition will be added to cover both of these technologies as it seems highly related to monitoring conditions (significant location change, and visit).
Thank you,
Axel

Hello,
I noticed the Product.SubscriptionInfo subscriptionPeriod (of type Product.SubscriptionPeriod) is different for the same product between StoreKit Testing in Xcode and the sandbox/App Store (production) environment.
For a “1 week” auto-renewable subscription, we get the following:
StoreKit Testing in Xcode: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 1 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.week
Sandbox/App Store: 1 week gives a subscriptionPeriod with value of 7 and a unit of Product.SubscriptionPeriod.Unit.day
This created issues in my app because I used the localizedDescription of a Product.SubscriptionPeriod to display a text similar to “$4.99 per week”. This is what I obtain with the StoreKit Testing in Xcode, but in the Sandbox/App Store environment, it displays “$4.99 per day” (because the subscriptionPeriod is “7 Days” and the unit is then .day). Obviously, this is not what I wanted to display.
Other periods like “1 month”, “2 months”, “3 months”, “6 months, and “1 year”, the period provided by both StoreKit Testing and Sandbox/App Store correspond to the period unit specified in App Store Connect.
In addition, I want to report that for a weekly subscription/offer or a 2 weeks offer, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod or Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly or .everyTwoWeeks is always false.
We observe the following:
With Sandbox or App Store live production:
1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”)
1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is false (because it’s “7 days”)
2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”)
2 weeks (offer), Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .everyTwoWeeks is false (because it’s “14 days”)
But with an Xcode StoreKit configuration file:
1 week, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”)
1 week, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == .weekly is true (because it’s “1 week”)
2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionInfo.subscriptionPeriod == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”)
2 weeks, Product.SubscriptionOffer.period == . everyTwoWeeks is true (because it’s “2 weeks”)
So in sandbox and production, .weekly and .everyTwoWeeks is never possible.
If someone from Apple could check the feedback FB19605865 🙂
Thank you

Code:
do {
let productIDs: [String] = ["revenueSocks_weekly_trial"]
let products: [StoreKit.Product] = try await Product.products (for: productIDs)
let weeklySubscription: StoreKit.Product = products.first!
let displayPrice: String = weeklySubscription.displayPrice
// For a weekly subscription in App Store Connect
// With an Xcode StoreKit configuration file: subscriptionPeriod unit is Week (week), value is 1 → "1 Week"
// With the Sandbox + App Store: subscriptionPeriod unit is Day (.day), value is 7 → "7 Days"
let unitString: String = weeklySubscription.subscription!.subscriptionPeriod.unit.localizedDescription
print("\(displayPrice) per \(unitString.localizedLowercase)")
// StoreKit configuration file → "$4.99 per week"
// Sandbox + App Store → "$4.99 per day"
} catch {
print(error)
