appAccountToken: Can It Be Unique Per Purchase Instead of Stable Per App Account?
Hi Apple team, We’re evaluating how we generate appAccountToken for in-app purchases. For privacy and security reasons, rather than using a stable UUID associated with an account across all purchases, we’re considering generating a different opaque value for each purchase/context. Internally, our backend would maintain the mapping needed to associate each value with the correct customer account and, potentially, additional purchase context. In other words, the same customer account may result in different appAccountToken values across separate purchases, while our backend can still deterministically resolve each token to the correct account. We’d like to confirm: Does Apple expect or recommend that appAccountToken remain stable for the same app account across purchases? Are there any concerns with this approach for non-subscription / one-time purchases, assuming we maintain the account association on our backend? Our goal is to avoid exposing a stable account-correlatable identifier while still maintaining reliable server-side attribution. Thanks!

App Store Server Notifications v1 deprecation timelime
Greetings! I was reviewing the documentation for the Apple Store Server Notification v1 APIs and saw the deprecation notice. We are currently unable to migrate to v2 in the near future. With that in mind, I want to know if there were any plans to shut off v1, and if so, was there any timeline we could expect? Thank you in advance.
