I’m unable to add several older In-App Purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions to an App Review submission in App Store Connect. The UI only shows: Unable to Add for Review Something went wrong. Try again. However, checking the failed reviewSubmissionItems requests in the browser dev tools shows HTTP 409 responses indicating that the existing IAP/subscription versions use an older format that is no longer supported for review submission. The affected errors include: STATE_ERROR.SUBSCRIPTION_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED Subscription version '[REDACTED]' is using an older format that is not supported for review submission. Please update before submitting. STATE_ERROR.SUBSCRIPTION_GROUP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED Subscription group version '[REDACTED]' is using an older format that is not supported for review submission. Please update before submitting. STATE_ERROR.IAP_VERSION_DATA_SCHEMA_NOT_SUPPORTED In-app purchase version '[REDACTED]' is using an older format that is not supported for review submission. Please update before submitting. In my case, this affects: 3 older subscription versions 1 subscription group version 1 older IAP version All required metadata in App Store Connect is complete. The interesting part is that I can create a new IAP today and add it to the same review submission successfully. Only the older IAP/subscription records fail. I can’t find any option in App Store Connect to “update” or migrate these legacy versions to the newer format referenced by the error message. Has anyone found a self-service way to migrate/regenerate these older IAP/subscription versions, or does this require Apple to update the records server-side? I’ve already opened a support case with Apple (ID: 102963040418), but wanted to check whether others are seeing the same issue.

Our build was rejected under Guideline 2.3.2 (Accurate Metadata) over subscription promotional images that were flagged as duplicates of, and too similar to, our app icon. The rejection was against the build, not the subscriptions directly. At the time, all five subscriptions plus the subscription group were in "Submitted for Review" status, which meant they couldn't be edited directly. Troubleshooting steps taken so far: Developer-cancelled each of the five subscriptions to get them out of "Submitted for Review" and into an editable state. Edited each subscription to remove the promotional image that triggered the 2.3.2 flag. Made changes to the Localization and Review Information fields on each subscription to force a new Save action. The Save completed successfully with no errors on any of the five subscriptions. After this, all five subscriptions and the subscription group are showing "Removed" from the Review Status column of our iOS submission. However, "Developer Rejected" status still shows in the Subscriptions section of Monitization (ASC->Distribution). That status hasn't cleared despite the successful edit and save, and I'm not able to reattach the subscriptions to a build for a new review submission from this state. Has anyone run into this — a subscription that was developer-cancelled, corrected, and successfully saved, but remains stuck on "Developer Rejected" instead of returning to a submittable state? Is there a separate action needed beyond edit-and-save (e.g., a distinct resubmit step, or removing and recreating the subscription) to move it forward from here? Any guidance on the correct path would be appreciated — happy to provide additional screenshots or details if useful.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone from Apple or another developer has seen this before because I'm completely blocked from submitting my first auto-renewable subscription. Setup First app submission App version: 1.0 (Build 34) One auto-renewable subscription Five consumable IAPs Everything configured in App Store Connect StoreKit works correctly in TestFlight Subscription purchases complete successfully in TestFlight RevenueCat configuration has been verified Subscription review screenshot is uploaded and processed successfully Problem App Store Connect shows: "There are errors with one or more of your items. To fix them, you need to remove the items and add them again to your submission." The draft contains: App Version 5 Consumable IAPs 1 Subscription When I submit through the App Store Connect API I receive: STATE_ERROR.SUBSCRIPTION_SUBMISSION_REQUIRES_GROUP_VERSION A subscription must be submitted with its subscription group version when the group has no prior approved version. That makes sense because this is my first subscription. However, when I attempt to create a subscription group version I receive: STATE_ERROR.ALREADY_EXISTS Version already exists. There is already an inflight version with id: bf2f7b5b-7fbd-44fc-9c67-af1297f3d76a So I then attempted to add that existing SubscriptionGroupVersion to the review submission. Apple responds with: STATE_ERROR.SUBSCRIPTION_GROUP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED Subscription group version bf2f7b5b-7fbd-44fc-9c67-af1297f3d76a is using an older format that is not supported for review submission. Please update before submitting. and also: STATE_ERROR.SUBSCRIPTION_GROUP_VERSION_INVALID_STATE Subscription group version bf2f7b5b-7fbd-44fc-9c67-af1297f3d76a cannot be submitted. Only versions in Prepare for Submission or Developer Rejected can be submitted. The issue I'm now stuck because: Apple says I must submit a SubscriptionGroupVersion. Apple says one already exists. Apple will not allow me to create a replacement. Apple will not allow me to submit the existing one. Apple says the existing one is using an older format. I cannot find any way in App Store Connect to update, replace or delete this SubscriptionGroupVersion. Things I've already verified Build 34 is attached correctly. Subscription Product ID is correct. RevenueCat configuration is correct. StoreKit loads the subscription successfully. Purchases work in TestFlight. Subscription review screenshot exists and is COMPLETE. Localizations, pricing and availability are all configured. The issue occurs both in App Store Connect and when submitting via the App Store Connect API. Question Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to regenerate or migrate a SubscriptionGroupVersion into the new format from App Store Connect, or is this something Apple Developer Support has to reset on the backend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

App name: Hold My Bouquet Bundle ID: com.holdmybouquet.app App Store Connect App ID: 6807080553 In-App Purchase Product ID: com.holdmybouquet.app.page_unlock (Non-Consumable, £3.99) Our app was rejected on Guideline 2.1 because the reviewer could not complete this in-app purchase. Since the rejection, we have verified and corrected every configuration item we can control, but the purchase still fails identically in sandbox testing on a physical device. Confirmed correct: Paid Applications Agreement: Active com.holdmybouquet.app.page_unlock: status "Ready to Submit," Cleared for Sale, pricing and availability set Bundle ID matches exactly across Xcode, App Store Connect, and our purchase provider (RevenueCat) Product ID matches exactly, no typos or case mismatches Sandbox tester account verified and signed in on-device (Settings → Developer → Sandbox Account) No local StoreKit Configuration file overriding real data (confirmed "None" in the Xcode scheme) To rule out our purchase provider entirely, we bypassed it and called Apple's native StoreKit 2 API directly from the app: let products = try await Product.products(for: ["com.holdmybouquet.app.page_unlock"]) This also returns zero products, with no error — confirming the issue is not a third-party SDK integration problem. Has anyone seen this before, or can anyone from Apple advise what else to check? We are otherwise ready to resubmit for review.

I am new and submitted an app which got reviewed twice over the last 2 weeks. I tried adding IAP in the 2nd submission but it didn't get attached. I created 3rd submission and the status says Ready for Review. The IAP says (Unable to Submit for Review To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform.). There is no option to cancel the submission and restart. Previous review cycles showed "Waiting for Review" and "In Review" before I got response on reasons for rejecting the app submission. But now it appears to be stuck. I requested email support. Is there any solution that I am missing? Thanks for your help! Raja

All auto-renewable subscriptions for Domiai (bundle app.domiai, App ID 6799989904, group 22305757) stay MISSING_METADATA via ASC API for weeks. Metadata complete for each product: fi+en-US localizations, group localizations, pricing, multi-territory availability, review screenshot COMPLETE (1290×2796). Business (Paid Apps, Banking, Tax, DAC7) all Active. Even a newly created control product domiai_meta_unstick_monthly (6801762338) with full config is also MISSING_METADATA. TestFlight StoreKit / RevenueCat: “products could not be fetched”. Feedback: FB24775023 Support case: 20000138025601 (closed without investigating ASC state) Has anyone seen MISSING_METADATA persist after Paid Apps became Active with screenshots+localizations complete? Any known account-level unblock? Product IDs: domiai_plus_monthly/yearly, domiai_ai_monthly/yearly.

Live App Store app. Since 2026-09-01 PDT, StoreKit no longer returns our approved auto-renewable subscriptions on signed builds. The same SKUs load normally in Xcode when using a local StoreKit configuration file. New purchases are blocked. Monthly auto-renewals that were collecting normally through August 31 began failing their renewal attempts starting September 1, with all observed attempts entering Billing Grace / Billing Retry. App Name: Moonlit Bundle ID: moonlit.reading Versions affected: 1.1.1 — App Store version that was already live and working normally before September 1 1.1.2 — subsequently released to the App Store specifically to test whether a fresh production release would restore StoreKit behavior. It did not. Approved auto-renewable subscriptions, both in the same subscription group: moonlit.monthly.subscription moonlit.yearly.subscription Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax are Active in App Store Connect. We use an explicit App ID with the In-App Purchase capability enabled. Distribution builds do not contain a StoreKit Configuration file. The local .storekit file is used only for Xcode Run. Through August 31, 2026, Product.products(for:) and SubscriptionStoreView returned both SKUs and their prices correctly on production builds. Beginning September 1, 2026, and continuing through at least September 11: Every production paywall we can measure receives an empty StoreKit catalog with no product IDs, no prices, and no thrown StoreKit error. SubscriptionStoreView remains on its loading state. Our Terms / Privacy footer still renders because it does not depend on StoreKit. showManageSubscriptions / manageSubscriptionsSheet also hangs or fails to connect on the same signed builds. App Store Connect subscription events for the monthly SKU show a complete reversal beginning September 1. All observed renewal attempts in the affected window entered Grace from Paid, with no successful renewals, whereas the comparable August window showed normal successful renewals. Sales reports show no IAP proceeds for the affected September window. App downloads continue to appear normally, so the app itself remains available for sale. What still works Xcode + local StoreKit Configuration: Both products load Prices display The purchase sheet presents normally Analytics and logging continue to function, so this is not an app crash or missing paywall UI. The subscriptions are not Rejected and are not in Developer Action Needed. TN3186 / TN3188 checks have already been completed. This appears similar to other recent reports where App Store Connect contains a valid product catalog but StoreKit does not serve the products to signed builds: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/838171 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/841722 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/838773 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/836183 Developer Support case: 102959783559 Request Could an App Store Commerce or StoreKit engineer verify whether the app-to-IAP catalog association for moonlit.reading is populated and being served correctly on Apple’s side, and refresh or reprocess the production catalog if appropriate?

Hello, We would appreciate some guidance regarding an unexpected StoreKit currency result in a TestFlight build. Our iPhone language and region are both set to France. The Sandbox tester is also configured for France, and our subscription products have French availability and pricing configured in App Store Connect. In the TestFlight build we diagnosed, StoreKit reports the current storefront as France with EUR: storefront=FRA/143442/EUR However, all 10 subscription products are returned with USD product metadata: products=10/10 formatCurrencies=USD localeCurrencies=USD error=NONE Example: formatCurrency=USD locale=fr_US_currency_USD localeCurrency=USD display=1,99 $US price=1.99 We first observed this through Flutter's in_app_purchase integration. To determine whether the Flutter plugin was involved, we added a native StoreKit 2 diagnostic to the same TestFlight build. The native result was identical: receipt=sandboxReceipt storefront before=FRA/143442/EUR storefront after=FRA/143442/EUR products=10/10 formatCurrencies=USD localeCurrencies=USD error=NONE The issue appears specific to the TestFlight distribution. When the application is installed directly from the development computer, prices are returned in euros on the same device. We also tested with the regular Media & Purchases account signed out and a French Sandbox tester connected. Once the products loaded successfully, StoreKit still returned USD metadata. In another configuration, the application displayed the USD price while Apple's purchase sheet displayed the price in euros. We are using the price and formatting information returned directly by StoreKit. We do not want to infer the currency from the device region or perform a client-side currency conversion, because StoreKit should remain the authoritative source. Could you please help us understand: Is it expected for Storefront.current to report FRA/EUR while Product.priceFormatStyle.currencyCode, its locale currency, and Product.displayPrice use USD? Could a TestFlight or App Store Connect configuration cause product metadata to use a different currency from the current storefront? Is there another account, availability, pricing or distribution setting that we should verify? Is there a recommended way to refresh or invalidate the product metadata used by a TestFlight installation? We have already filed Feedback Assistant report FB24723329, which is currently under investigation. Thank you very much for any clarification or additional diagnostic steps you can suggest.

Hi Apple Developer Community, My app was rejected under Guideline 2.3.2 because I accidentally uploaded the wrong promotional image. I want to remove the image as instructed by App Review, but the IAP is currently Ready for Review, and the image is locked. There is no option to remove or replace it, and the Save/Add for Review buttons are disabled. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 102955732091) and am waiting for a response. Has anyone faced this issue? Is there a way to unlock the IAP metadata, or does Apple need to remove the image from their side? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I set up an auto-renewable subscription introductory offer in App Store Connect with a scheduled start date of September 7 for the Philippines storefront. According to the documentation App Store pricing and availability start times by country or region, scheduled pricing and offer updates are expected to go live based on local regional times. However, the offer did not show up in the Current Introductory Offers in app store connect portal at the documented start time (14:00 Sep 6th UTC). Instead, it stayed in the Upcoming Offers until 7:00 Sep 7th UTC which is 17 hours after the time in the doc. We met a similar situation a few days later when we launch another introductory offer in Thailand. I would appreciate clarification on the following points: What is the underlying reason for the discrepancy between the documented start time behavior and the actual start time observed in production? Can Apple update the App Store pricing and availability start times by country or region reference documentation so that it accurately reflects the practical start time and propagation window for each region? Any insights or shared experiences with offer scheduling in the APAC region would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I am trying to submit but I keep getting these 2 errors :-) Unable to Submit for Review Your auto-renewable subscription must be submitted with its subscription group. To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform. Problem is I cannot find where to do this. The UI is appaling.

I've read several topics on cancelling subscriptions in sandbox environment, but it seems to me that it could not be applied to TestFlight. I can cancel sandbox subscriptions through Settings > App Store > Sandbox account But since TestFlight does not use sandbox account I cannot cancel a sub from there. Also, TF purchase does not appear in the list of regular subscriptions (Settings > Profile > Media & Purchases). So my question is: is there any way to manually cancel auto-renewable subscription bought in TestFlight build of the app?

I have an ongoing rejection for having non-existent promotional images within in-app purchases and subscriptions in my submissions. The minute the app goes into review it is rejected over and over as if the reviewer doesn't care to review the changes within the in-app records and subscriptions along with the translations. The display names and descriptions are unique for each tier. This has been going for over a week and there are no more changes that I can make other than going from freemium to fully paid model and forget the freemium model. Can someone from the App Review team look into this? Thanks.

Title: Sandbox allows free trial again on resubscribe to the same subscription Hi everyone, I'm testing an auto-renewable subscription using App Store Connect with a Sandbox tester (not a local StoreKit configuration file). My subscription has an introductory free trial configured. Scenario: Purchase the subscription for the first time using a Sandbox Apple ID. The user receives the introductory free trial as expected. Let the subscription expire. Purchase the same subscription product again using the same Sandbox Apple ID. I receive an App Store Server Notification with Notification Type = RESUBSCRIBE, and the transaction appears to have a price of 0, making it look like the user received another free trial. From Apple's documentation, my understanding is that an introductory offer can only be redeemed once per subscription group per Apple ID. Based on that, I expected the second purchase to be charged immediately rather than receive another free trial. My questions are: Is this expected behavior in the Sandbox environment? Does Sandbox sometimes allow introductory offers to be redeemed multiple times for testing? Or am I misinterpreting the RESUBSCRIBE notification and the $0 transaction? I did not intentionally reset the Sandbox tester's introductory offer eligibility, and I'm purchasing the same product in the same subscription group with the same Sandbox Apple ID. Has anyone observed this behavior or can clarify whether this is expected in Sandbox versus production? Thanks!

大家好，我正在排查一个 TestFlight 沙盒环境中的 StoreKit 2 商品加载问题，希望获得建议。 一、现象 iOS App 通过 TestFlight 安装（Build 4）后，使用 Product.products(for:) 请求两个非消耗型内购项目。调用不会抛出错误，但始终返回空数组，因此购买页没有任何可购买商品。 products = try await Product.products(for: [ "com.shidan.qieting.plus.trial.7day", "com.shidan.qieting.plus.lifetime" ]).sorted { $0.id < $1.id } 两个 Product ID 分别为： Product ID 类型 价格 App Store Connect 状态 com.shidan.qieting.plus.trial.7day 非消耗型 Tier 0 / US$0.00 可供审核 com.shidan.qieting.plus.lifetime 非消耗型 US$5.99 可供审核 二、日志 在 TestFlight App 冷启动后，诊断日志记录： 2026-09-03T08:12:08Z [settings] plus products loaded: trialAvailable=false, lifetimeAvailable=false 打开购买页时再次调用，结果仍然为空。没有捕获到 StoreKit 异常，也没有购买流程报错。 三、系统级沙盒验证结果 为排除 App UI 和 StoreKit 商品加载代码的影响，我们还使用同一开发团队创建的 Sandbox Apple Account，在 iOS 的“设置 > 开发者 > Sandbox Apple Account > 管理 > Test Transactions”中直接测试： Bundle ID：com.shidan.qieting Product ID：com.shidan.qieting.plus.lifetime 系统提示：“提供的产品 ID 或套装 ID 无效”。该工具不经过 App 内的购买页或 Product.products(for:) 结果，仍无法识别这组 Bundle ID 与 Product ID。 四、已完成核验 代码中的 Product ID 与 App Store Connect 中的 Product ID 完全一致。 Release Bundle ID 与 App Store Connect App Record 一致，均为 com.shidan.qieting。 App ID 为显式 ID，不是 wildcard App ID。 Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles 中已启用 In-App Purchase capability；Xcode Target 也已启用，Xcode Cloud 使用自动签名。 TestFlight 使用 Archive 构建；共享 Scheme 的 ArchiveAction 没有 StoreKit Configuration 文件。本地 .storekit 文件只用于 Xcode Run/Test，本身不影响 Archive/TestFlight。 两个项目均已设置价格、175 个 App Store 地区可售，以及简体中文、繁体中文、英语本地化。 最后一次修改 IAP 元数据已经超过 48 小时。 Paid Apps Agreement、税务信息和银行信息均为有效/正在使用中。 尚未提交 App 或 IAP 审核；理解为 TestFlight 沙盒测试不应以提交审核为前提。 欧盟《数字服务法》（DSA）交易商合规信息仍在审核中；但该要求针对欧盟 App Store 产品页的交易商信息。Apple 官方说明中，单独通过 TestFlight 分发不属于在欧盟 App Store 以交易商身份分发，因此这不应影响 TestFlight 沙盒或 Test Transactions。 五、想请教 在上述条件已确认、Product.products(for:) 不报错却返回 [] 的情况下，是否还有容易遗漏的 App Store Connect、沙盒、签名或 TestFlight 配置？ 是否有人遇到过“所有 Product ID 均正确、商品完整且全球可售，但 TestFlight 沙盒始终返回空数组”的情况？如果这是 Apple 沙盒端的已知延迟或异常，有什么进一步的排查或反馈渠道？ 我可以按需要补充已打码的 App Store Connect 配置截图和完整诊断日志。谢谢。

Environment: Sandbox Bundle ID: com.fosssocial.app Key ID: L7DZYHGM62 Issuer ID: cf1f7bc7-452f-4bb8-a925-31ca29175fac Summary Our In-App Purchase key is accepted by the App Store Server API but rejected by the Advanced Commerce API, using the exact same bearer token. This appears to be an authorization grant that was never applied to the key, rather than a signing or request-format problem on our side. Reproduction — one token, two API families GET /inApps/v1/subscriptions/1 -> 404, errorCode 4040010 (token ACCEPTED, resource simply not found) POST /advancedCommerce/v1/subscription/changeMetadata/1 -> 401, errorCode 4010000 (token REJECTED) Same JWT, same key, issued seconds apart. A 401 on one family and a 404 on the other isolates this to key authorization. On-device symptom A signed SubscriptionCreateRequest passed to StoreKit as advancedCommerceData fails with StoreKitError.unknown / "Unable to Complete Request". No payment sheet appears and no InvalidRequestError is returned, so there is no field-level error to act on. What we have already verified JWS header: alg ES256, kid, typ JWT Claims: iss, iat, aud "advanced-commerce-api", bid, nonce, request No exp claim (per Apple's documentation) The request claim uses standard padded base64, not base64url Key ID and .p8 file confirmed to be a matching pair Key regenerated after receiving the Advanced Commerce access-granted email; the 401 is unchanged AdvancedCommerceProduct(id:) resolves successfully on device, which confirms the PRODUCT has Advanced Commerce access Question Does the In-App Purchase key require a separate authorization for the Advanced Commerce API beyond the product-level access we were granted? If so, how is that applied to an existing key?

Hi all — hoping someone has run into this. restorePurchases() (via Flutter's in_app_purchase/in_app_purchase_storekit plugin, which wraps StoreKit) consistently returns zero transactions for an Apple ID that has a confirmed, currently active auto-renewable subscription to my app. Evidence the subscription is genuinely active: Settings → [Apple ID] → Subscriptions shows the subscription as active for this Apple ID. Independently confirmed via the App Store Server API (GET /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{originalTransactionId}) that Apple's servers currently recognize this subscription. Details: originalTransactionId: 2000000099299646, original purchase mid-2022 The App Store Server API's "latest transaction" for this ID resolves to environment: Sandbox, even though this Apple ID has also made real Production purchases over time — wondering if mixed Sandbox/Production history on one Apple ID could be affecting restorePurchases()'s results Tested on a real device, iOS [version], with and without an explicit SKPaymentQueueDelegate set — no difference in behavior Would appreciate any insight — thanks!

Hi, I’m having an issue with an in-app purchase implementation using StoreKit and a WKWebView. The app uses a WKWebView with a WKScriptMessageHandler registered with the name "iap" to communicate between JavaScript and the native Swift code. The implementation works correctly when running the app through Xcode Simulator. The IAP buttons trigger the expected native code and the bridge functions correctly. However, when I install the same/latest build through TestFlight, the IAP functionality does not work as expected. The buttons/JavaScript-to-native communication do not appear to trigger the same way they do in the Simulator. The IAP products and configuration have been set up in App Store Connect. I have already checked the implementation and confirmed that the same code works when running from Xcode. Could there be any difference between Simulator and TestFlight regarding: StoreKit sandbox/TestFlight behaviour Entitlements or signing App Store Connect configuration WKWebView/WKScriptMessageHandler behaviour JavaScript-to-native communication in a TestFlight build Any required configuration for IAP testing through TestFlight I would appreciate any guidance on what I should check to determine why the "iap" WKScriptMessageHandler works in Simulator but not in TestFlight. Thanks.

We are testing two auto-renewable subscriptions for a new iOS app. In Apple Sandbox, StoreKit 2 Product.products(for:) always returns an empty array. Legacy SKProductsRequest independently reports both identifiers as invalid. Environment: Physical iPhone, iOS 26.5 Xcode development build with automatic signing Storefront.current = USA (143441) canMakePayments = true No StoreKit Configuration file in the Run scheme Direct native StoreKit 2 diagnostics, without a third-party purchase SDK TN3186 checks completed: Explicit Bundle ID matches the App Store Connect app, installed app, and provisioning profile In-App Purchase is enabled for the App ID Developer membership, Paid Apps Agreement, banking, and tax are active One subscription group with monthly and yearly subscriptions is visible Pricing, localizations, and availability are configured Neither subscription is Rejected or Developer Action Needed The scheme is using real Sandbox data, not local StoreKit testing Results: StoreKit 2 batch query: rawCount = 0 SKProductsRequest: valid = []; both identifiers are invalid StoreKit 2 individual monthly query: 0 StoreKit 2 individual yearly query: 0 No exception; failure occurs during product discovery Related reports: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/839313 — TN3186 verified and USA storefront valid, but still 0 products; no replies https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/841722 — Apple Commerce mentioned Rejected or Developer Action Needed states; ours have neither https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/820656 — Apple DTS confirmed first subscriptions do not require review before Sandbox testing Apple Developer Support referred us to TN3186, and we verified every applicable item. The individual subscription detail route in App Store Connect also intermittently remains on a loading indicator although the group and both records are visible. Could an App Store Commerce or StoreKit engineer check whether the app-to-IAP catalog association is populated correctly on Apple's side, or advise an official escalation path to have the Sandbox catalog reprocessed? Exact account, app, product, device, email, and support-case identifiers are omitted from this public post and can be supplied privately through Apple Support or Feedback Assistant.

We're testing In-App Purchases for our app distributed via TestFlight, using Sandbox Apple Accounts. We observe two device-dependent behaviors and have two questions. (App-specific details, including the bundle ID, are in our Feedback report FB24632077.) Observation 1 — Consumable second purchase fails with DuplicateTransaction on some devices The first purchase of a consumable succeeds and the transaction is finished. A second purchase of the same consumable then fails with PurchaseFailureReason.DuplicateTransaction ("This In-App Purchase has already been bought") on some devices. It correlates with sandbox session persistence: on devices where the purchase prompts for password only (e.g., iOS 26.x, iPadOS 18.4.1) the second purchase succeeds; on devices where it prompts for the account (email) + password every time (e.g., iOS 18.3.2, iPadAir2 15.6), the second purchase fails. The same Sandbox Apple Account behaves differently on different devices. An Ad Hoc (development-signed) build with the same account succeeds. Observation 2 — Product price sometimes returns USD instead of the storefront currency With the same Sandbox account (region: Japan), prices are shown in JPY on iOS 26.2 but in USD on iOS 18.3.2. The App Store app shows JPY, but SKProductsRequest / StoreKit 2 Product metadata returns USD. Question 1: Are these known Sandbox/TestFlight limitations? If so, what is the recommended way to reliably test repeat consumable purchases (and to get the correct storefront currency) in TestFlight across many devices and OS versions? Question 2: For TestFlight IAP testing, are there environmental differences between (A) using the device's real Apple ID (signed into Media & Purchases; automatic sandbox) and (B) signing out of Media & Purchases and using a Sandbox Apple Account — with respect to: reliability of repeat consumable purchases, authentication / session persistence (password-only vs account + password each purchase), storefront / currency resolution for product metadata, ability to clear purchase history? Which approach do you recommend for a consistent, reliable TestFlight IAP QA environment? Environment: TestFlight (App Store distribution), Sandbox tester region = Japan. (App-specific identifiers such as bundle ID are in our Feedback report FB24632077.) Repro: buy a consumable once (succeeds, finished) → buy the same product again → DuplicateTransaction on affected devices. Thanks!
