Can't manage my sandbox account
Hi, I can't get into "manage" sandbox account. I either get to a screen to put my password in. Here there is no way to click "next" or "login". (I have tried pressing "enter" on my keyboard to no effect). Or I get directly into "Cannot Connect" page. I have tried this two days in a row. I have tried turning it off and on again. I have tried logging out and in. Device: iPhone 13 pro max, iOS: 16.0.3 (also tried the version before this)

TestFlight App uses wrong sandbox account for payment
I'm using TestFlight to test an app with payment/subscription functionality. I created sandbox accounts in AppStore Connect accordingly to be able to test the subscriptions. I'm logged in with the sandbox account. When I try to subscribe in the App the wrong account (this is my actual real AppleID) is used for the subscription although it is recognized that this is just a sandbox subscription. I tried: logging off/on into the sandbox account creating a totally new sandbox account trying to trigger the payment with no logged in sandbox account The result is always: in the payment popup it is stated that the purchase account will be my original AppleID and not a sandbox account. How can I switch the accounts? Is this a bug at Apple's side somehow?

Cancel subscription not working in TestFlight
Hi, I have deployed my app on Test Flight, I have two subscriptions, monthly and yearly. User can have one of them at a time and upgrade, downgrade to the other. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel from the Apple Settings worked fine in the sandbox environment when testing locally. Now when I have deployed the app on TestFlight, I was able to purchase the subscription successfully from my app. Now when I want to cancel my subscription from the Apple Settings it gives me the following error after confirming cancellation, 'Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later.' Also the other subscription offer (yearly) is also not shown to which I could upgrade, even though in the sandbox I was able to upgrade downgrade from the settings. Another thing I have noticed is that the app Icon or name is not shown anywhere in settings with the subscription. Instead of app icon only empty square is shown. Even though app icon shows fine everywhere else. Can someone please help me figure out this issue?

Subscription Unavailable - Strange Behavior with StoreKit
I added my first subscription to my app using StoreKit's SubscriptionStoreView. Everything worked as expected in the debug environment and also in TestFlight. So I submitted my app and subscriptions to App Store Connect, got everything Approved and released. After updating my app through App Store and checking the Subscription View, it just says "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." I waited around 3 days and still getting the same message. Now the very strange behavior starts. I went to App Store Connect, I made and edit to the subscription description, saved, removed the edit, saved, and submitted to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions appear in my app and everything works as expected. After getting the edit approved, the Subscription View in my app again only showed the message "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." No user is able to see the subscriptions anymore, even though it worked as expected before the edit was approved. So I did the same as before. Again, make an edit to the subscription description, save, remove the edit, save, submit to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions are again available in my app and it works as expected. This is definitely not the expected behavior and submitting the subscription edits every day is wasting the App Review Team's time as well as mine. I contacted Apple Developer Support but I didn't get any reply back (at least yet). I am not the only one experiencing this. I found a friend online who has the exact same issue, and is able to temporarily solve it by making an edit to the subscription description as well. So far it has been a huge headache, and we are losing customers this way. Please if anyone has experience with this problem, or has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Tomas

StoreKit Sandbox – Intermittent "Invalid Product Identifier" Errors
We are experiencing an issue with StoreKit in the sandbox environment. When performing an SKProductsRequest, some or all of the product identifiers we provide are returning in invalidProductIdentifiers of SKProductsResponse, even though all of them are valid and approved. This issue started occurring today and seems intermittent—occasionally, a previously failing product identifier works after one or two retries without any changes on our end. We have verified that: All product identifiers are correctly configured and approved in App Store Connect. There are no recent changes to our product configuration. The same identifiers have worked previously without issue. Could you please assist us in identifying the cause of this behavior or let us know if there is an ongoing issue affecting StoreKit sandbox services? Thank you for your support.

Billing Problem while subscription renewal.
Hello, I'm currently experiencing issues with IAP subscription setup. The following error appears: "Billing Problem, There was a problem with your subscription renewal. To resolve, turn on Allow Purchases & Renewals, or leave off to test failed in-app purchase attempts and subscription renewals." I'm testing with a sandbox account, and automatic subscription renewal is turned on in the sandbox settings. A notification screen appears at the OS level, and consequently, a DID_FAIL_TO_RENEW error occurs on our payment server. I cannot determine the cause at all, so I would appreciate your assistance in checking this issue.

StoreKit doesn't always work correctly in sandbox environment
There is an issue with StoreKit. The line let products = try await StoreKit.Product.products(for: ids) doesn't always work correctly. Sometimes it returns an array with the correct data, and sometimes it returns an empty array. I'm passing the correct ids to products(for:). This problem only occurs when using the sandbox environment (in TestFlight builds). In the App Store version, everything works fine. StoreKit configuration is none. All IAPs are approved. Everything was working fine before this. The problem was discovered on May 1, 2025.

How to cancel Auto-renewable subscription bought in TestFlight?
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?

交易无法结束 (Transactions Unable to Finish)
有一个用户反馈7月8日充值了3笔后一直无法发起新的购买,总是提示已经购买。我们查了是之前的交易无法结束,我们使用StoreKit2,已经调用await transaction.finish()成功结束交易了,但是每次发起新支付时,Transaction.unfinished还会返回之前已完成的交易信息。 是设备或AppleID的问题么?用户尝试了重启设备、重新登录AppleID都没用。有什么办法解决呢? 用户无法结束的苹果交易id为:200002703899379、200002703900716、200002703902023。 A user reported that after making 3 purchases on July 8th, they have been unable to initiate new purchases, always receiving a prompt that the item has already been purchased. Upon investigation, we found that the previous transactions couldn't be finalized. We use StoreKit2 and have successfully called await transaction.finish() to end the transactions. However, every time a new payment is initiated, Transaction.unfinished still returns information about the previously completed transactions. Could this be an issue with the device or Apple ID? The user has tried restarting the device and re-logging into their Apple ID, but these attempts were unsuccessful. Is there any way to resolve this? The Apple transaction IDs that the user is unable to finalize are: 200002703899379, 200002703900716, 200002703902023.

“Payment method is not available” message in Sandbox subscription testing (StoreKit 2)
I’m implementing App Store subscriptions using StoreKit 2 and testing in the Sandbox environment. Until about a week ago everything worked fine, but recently the Settings > Subscriptions screen shows this message for my test account: “Your current payment method is not available.” The behavior: • Using a Sandbox tester account (not a production Apple ID) • Purchase flow works successfully — the transaction completes, and I receive server notifications • However, the system Settings app still displays that message under the subscription entry • No code changes were made since it last worked Questions: 1. What exactly does this message mean in the Sandbox environment? 2. Could this be related to any Apple system issue or recent backend update? 3. Has anyone else seen the same behavior in recent days? Environment: • Xcode 15.4 • iOS 17.5 (physical device) • StoreKit 2 / Swift 5.10 • Sandbox tester (Japan region) Thanks in advance for any insights or confirmations from others who are testing subscriptions in Sandbox!

StoreKit Configuration Not Syncing to Xcode
Hello! I am attempting to add Subscriptions to an App that Is already published on the App Store. I cannot get Xcode to actually sync what is in my App Store Connect. When adding the Storekit configuration file, I go through the automatic linking process and select the proper bundleID. The configuration file says 'Synced @ [CurrentTime]' however there are no subscriptions listed in there. I have attempted deleting the file several times, creating a new subscription group. With no success. Do I need to publish the subscriptions without the features first? Upon attempting to write the supporting code that will enable these features within the app, I cannot get Xcode to identify that I have these subscriptions. I have also tried pushing these to TestFlight, still with no success. Thank you.

SKAdNetwork: Error while updating conversion value

(SKANErrorDomain error 10.) Any idea what’s going on there? What does Error Code 10 mean? Couldn't find anything in the documentation about that so far. I have the NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint key with domain (https://api2.branch.io/v1/skadnetwork/advertiser_app) in my .plist.

How do you get user consent for ConsumptionRequest?
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/send_consumption_information If the customer provided consent, respond by calling this API and sending the consumption data in the ConsumptionRequest to the App Store. If not, respond by calling this API and setting the customerConsented value to false in the ConsumptionRequest; don't send any other information. Since our server would be receiving CONSUMPTION_REQUEST server notifications and will be the one calling the Consumption API, how do we know if the user has provided consent? That info doesn't seem to be in the server notification or anywhere else.

AppStore.sync() not restoring purchases
On an app that was using the old API for In-App Purchases (StoreKit 1). The app is already published on the App Store. The purchase is non-consumable. While trying to migrate to StoreKit 2, I'm unable to restore purchases. Specifically displaying and purchasing products works as expected, but when deleting and reinstalling the app, and then trying to restore purchases I can't do it. I'm trying to restore them using the new APIs but it doesn't seem to be working. What I have tried so far: I'm listening for transaction updates during the whole lifetime of the app, with: Task.detached { for await result in Transaction.updates { if case let .verified(safe) = result { } } } I have a button that calls this method, but other than prompting to log in again with the Apple ID it doesn't seem to have any effect at all: try? await AppStore.sync() This doesn't return any item for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case let .verified(transaction) = result { } } This doesn't return any item for await result in Transaction.all { if case let .verified(transaction) = result { } } As mentioned before I'm trying this after purchasing the item and deleting the app. So I'm sure it should be able to restore the purchase. Am trying this both with a Configuration.storekit file on the simulator, and without it on a real device, in the Sandbox Environment. Has anyone being able to restore purchases using StoreKit 2? PD: I already filed a feedback report on Feedback Assistant, but so far the only thing that they have replied is: Because StoreKit Testing in Xcode is a local environment, and the data is tied to the app, when you delete the app you're also deleting all the transaction data for that app in the Xcode environment. The code snippets provided are correct usage of the API. So yes, using a Configuration.storekit file won't work on restoring purchases, but if I can't restore them on the Sandbox Environment I'm afraid that this won't work once released, leaving my users totally unable to restore what they have already purchased.

Transactions Finish does not work on iOS 26 beta3
On iOS 26 beta 3, after a user purchases an item, initiating a second order for the same product fails to process payment. The system returns the same transaction ID and displays an interface message stating: "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase. It will be restored for free."​​ ​​I’ve tested this – not only did the legacy StoreKit finishTransaction method fail to work, but StoreKit2 finish method also malfunctioned.​​ ​​When will Apple fix this issue? If unresolved, it will prevent a large number of users from making purchases normally, leading to disastrous consequences.​

StoreKit1: finishTransaction fails to work as expected in iOS 26.4
Our game application is developed based on StoreKit 1, and an exception occurs on iOS 26.4: after players complete a payment, the finishTransaction method fails to properly remove the transaction from the SKPaymentQueue; as a result, when players restart the app, the system still triggers the retry process for this transaction (reconciliation of unpaid orders). Has anyone encountered this issue? If there is a solution, we would appreciate it if you could share it with us.

Transaction.currentEntitlements returning empty response
Hi there 👋🏻 We are facing an issue that started on 24 June 2025 where some users that have an active subscription with an offer are not being able to use/restore their subscription since Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty. We have tried to call the server with this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-history and it's returning the correct transactions correctly. Any idea what is happening?

Transactions Finish does not work on iOS 26 beta3
On iOS 26 beta 3, after a user purchases an item, initiating a second order for the same product fails to process payment. The system returns the same transaction ID and displays an interface message stating: "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase. It will be restored for free."​​ ​​I’ve tested this – not only did the legacy StoreKit finishTransaction method fail to work, but StoreKit2 finish method also malfunctioned.​​ ​​When will Apple fix this issue? If unresolved, it will prevent a large number of users from making purchases normally, leading to disastrous consequences.​

StoreKit1: finishTransaction fails to work as expected in iOS 26.4
Our game application is developed based on StoreKit 1, and an exception occurs on iOS 26.4: after players complete a payment, the finishTransaction method fails to properly remove the transaction from the SKPaymentQueue; as a result, when players restart the app, the system still triggers the retry process for this transaction (reconciliation of unpaid orders). Has anyone encountered this issue? If there is a solution, we would appreciate it if you could share it with us.

Transaction.currentEntitlements returning empty response
Hi there 👋🏻 We are facing an issue that started on 24 June 2025 where some users that have an active subscription with an offer are not being able to use/restore their subscription since Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty. We have tried to call the server with this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-history and it's returning the correct transactions correctly. Any idea what is happening?
