Summary: Product.products(for:) returns an empty array with no thrown error for every in-app purchase, across multiple subscription groups, on a physical device with a valid storefront. This is blocking App Review — the reviewer reports the same "products cannot be loaded" symptom (rejected under 2.1(b)).
No version of the app has been approved yet (first version is in review).
What I've confirmed is NOT the cause:
Paid Apps Agreement: Active. Bank Account: Active and verified. Tax Forms: Active. Storefront: confirmed correct on-device via Storefront.current. Product IDs match exactly between the app and App Store Connect. Key evidence (controlled test): There are 4 subscription products across 3 groups:
2 products in REJECTED state 2 fresh products in READY_TO_SUBMIT state, in separate groups, never submitted Requesting all four IDs in a single Product.products(for:) call on a physical device returns zero products and throws no error. So it is not the rejected state of the first two, not a single corrupt record, and not a group-level issue — brand-new READY_TO_SUBMIT products in independent groups also fail to load. The only thing all products share is the app/account.
Questions:
Beyond an Active agreement + verified banking + verified tax forms, what else must be complete before StoreKit will vend any product for an app whose first version has not yet been approved? Is there a known condition where READY_TO_SUBMIT products in a never-approved app return an empty array (rather than an error)? If review requires products to load, but products won't load before some precondition is met, how is that circular dependency intended to be resolved?
NOTE: A prior impossible to submit subscription was working no problem it just throw a red unknown error.
Minimal repro available on request. Thank you.
