We’ve recently observed an escalating number of complaints from AlipayHK users regarding duplicate charges when completing transactions via Apple Pay. While no similar issues have been reported by users of other credit card providers integrated with Apple Pay, the problem appears isolated to AlipayHK transactions.
Key Details:
Multiple users confirm being charged twice for single transactions.
Complaints are increasing in frequency, indicating a potential systemic issue.
No overlapping reports from non-AlipayHK payment methods at this time.
To safeguard customer trust and ensure seamless payment experiences, we kindly request Apple’s support in:
Investigating whether the root cause stems from Apple Pay’s transaction handling.
Collaborating with AlipayHK (if necessary) to resolve the issue promptly.
Providing guidance on interim measures to prevent further duplicate charges.
Could Apple confirm if this is a known issue and share a timeline for resolution? We’re eager to assist in any way possible to mitigate impact on users.
Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

I've been stuck with this rejection. Trial button 'greyed out' or non responsive. What they are seeing is my subscriptions not loading into the pay wall. We think its because the subscriptions haven't been reviewed and approved in order for them to populate the pay wall (activating the pay wall so it isn't 'greyed out'. Has anyone had and solved this issue?

Hi Team,
I’ve successfully implemented the subscription flow for my app. However, I’m currently facing challenges related to testing the cancellation behavior for auto-renewable subscriptions.
Specifically:
I’m unable to locate the correct payload structure for the following test endpoint:
https://api.storekit-sandbox.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/test
I’m also unclear on how to simulate or complete the full lifecycle of a subscription (including cancellation) using Apple’s sandbox environment or APIs.
Could you please guide me on how to:
Retrieve or construct the proper payload for the test notification API?
Simulate a cancellation flow end-to-end in the sandbox for auto-renewable subscriptions?

Problem Summary
Apple's provisioning servers are not generating the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement for App ID com.driftnotes.app (Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY), making it impossible to build iOS apps for physical devices despite all configurations being correct.
Environment
macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70)
Xcode: 16.1 (xcode-select version 2409)
Flutter: 3.35.2 • channel stable
Account: Individual Developer (Kazakhstan)
Bundle ID: com.driftnotes.app
Team ID: 43Y6AG5NPY
Error Message
Error (Xcode): Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.driftnotes.app" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement.
/Users/vyacheslavkuzin/Desktop/FlutterProjects/DriftNotesDart/ios/Runner.xcodeproj
Steps to Reproduce
Configure App ID with In-App Purchase capability (✅ verified in Developer Portal)
Add In-App Purchase capability in Xcode project (✅ done)
Configure entitlements file with StoreKit keys (✅ done)
Enable automatic signing in Xcode (✅ done)
Run: flutter build ios --release
Build completes successfully ("Xcode build done. 13,8s") but fails at signing stage
Expected vs Actual Result
Expected: Provisioning profile should include com.apple.developer.storekit entitlement
Actual: Profile is created WITHOUT the entitlement, despite all configurations being correct
Configuration Details

Wait Periods: 48+ hours for server propagation
Complete Profile Deletion: Removed ALL profiles from Developer account per Apple Support
Apple Support Workaround
Following Senior Advisor recommendation:
✅ Deleted all provisioning profiles from account
✅ Confirmed IAP capability in project
✅ Created StoreKit Configuration File for testing
✅ Verified automatic signing management
✅ Multiple "Try Again" attempts in Xcode
Result: Problem persists
Apple Support Reference
Case #102680105923 - Senior Advisor Simone confirmed after internal team consultation that this requires engineering team attention and directed to Developer Forums.
Technical Analysis
What Works
Flutter build completes successfully
Pod install executes without issues (25,9s)
Xcode build finishes successfully (13,8s)
All dependencies resolve correctly
What Fails
Provisioning profile generation: Server creates profile but omits StoreKit entitlement
All profile types affected: Both manual and automatic profiles
Consistent across configurations: Debug, Release, Profile all fail identically
Root Cause
This appears to be a server-side bug where Apple's provisioning systems are not properly correlating the App ID's In-App Purchase capability with the StoreKit entitlement generation for this specific App ID (com.driftnotes.app).
The issue is NOT in client-side configuration - all settings match Apple's official documentation exactly. The problem occurs during the server-side provisioning profile generation process.
Request for Engineering Team
This issue requires attention from Apple's provisioning infrastructure team to resolve the server-side entitlement generation bug for App ID com.driftnotes.app.
Impact
Critical: Complete inability to build iOS app for physical devices
Business: Blocking app deployment and updates
Developer Experience: Extensive time spent on troubleshooting correctly configured setup
All configurations have been verified multiple times and match Apple's official documentation. The issue has been escalated through Apple Support (Case #102680105923) and requires engineering team intervention.

Hi,
I'm new to AppStore Connect, and I'm learning how subscriptions work.
I'm finalizing my first app, but on my TF, I'm having some issues with the price: it's always displayed in US dollars on my paywall. When I tap "subscribe," the Apple sheet correctly offers the price in euros.
I'm using Product.displayPrice to display the price in my paywall. The documentation did mention it is
The localized string representation of the product price, suitable for display.
So, is it normal in my case for the price in dollars to be displayed and not the price in euros like the Apple sheet?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi, I've migrated my app to another developer account more than half a year ago, but I'm still receiving a few transaction payments in the old developer account, which currently has no app.
The payment date shown in the report is last month.
I'm wondering how could this happen. Is it possible for users to initiate a transaction half a year ago and only successfully pay it now?
アプリ内課金を実装しようとしていますが、サーバサイドのセキュリティに関してについて質問です。
StoreKit2を使えばアプリとApp Store Connect間のレシート検証は不要だが、
購入情報をサーバーで管理する場合は
アプリからサーバーに購入情報を渡す際にレシート検証する必要があると考えるがその認識であっているか教えていただきたいです。
I remember when I called Apple Support, they told me that they can only assist with refunds for orders within the last two months.

Dear Apple Developer Support,
Our iOS application offers subscriptions with a free trial period. We understand that in South Korea, due to local subscription regulations, users must explicitly provide consent for recurring payments before the subscription converts from a free trial to a paid period.
We have the following questions regarding how StoreKit handles this scenario:
When a free trial is about to convert to a paid subscription for a user in South Korea, does StoreKit send a StoreKit.Message (or SKStorefront.Message) to the application to obtain the required consent for recurring payments?
If such a message is sent, would the Reason for this message be StoreKit.Message.Reason.priceIncreaseConsent, or would it be another specific reason related to initial recurring payment consent after a trial?
If our application receives such a message and we choose to defer its display, what is the maximum recommended or permissible deferral period?
Is it possible to save the data of a received StoreKit.Message and display it to the user at a later time, for instance, after the application has been closed and subsequently reopened? Are there any best practices or limitations regarding this?
We need this information to ensure our application correctly handles these consent requirements in compliance with South Korean policies and provides a smooth user experience.
Thank you for your guidance.
Hello,
I recently saw this error from StoreKit in the Console - 'Invalid value for purchase intake' - while debugging a SKPayment subscription issue (where a valid receipt should be verified and restored, but isn't for one user).
I haven't been able to find any documentation about this message and wondered if it was related at all.
There were two other logs from StoreKit right before saying:
'Found 3 products in receipt with ID'
'Processing ad attribution purchase intake'
Does anyone know what 'invalid value for purchase intake' is referencing?
We don't have the AdAttributionKit implemented. It sounds like it might be related to that instead?
Thank you

I'm running into a refund issue when testing in-app purchases in sandbox mode. I'm able to successfully purchase items but roughly 1 out of 3 times, when the refund window pops up, it says it cannot connect even though our webhook servers can verify the transaction id sent from apple. My internet connection is good and I've varied the wait period from purchase to refund from 15mins to 2 hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have three questions about verify receipt
I use this api (https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt)to verify receipt is success or not. But since last month, this interface has started to return an error(21002). I see this document (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/verifyreceipt) say its Deprecated. My question is, is the error suddenly returned recently because the interface has been deprecated or for some other reason? (I haven't modified my code about this recently)
I can not understand this document: (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/validating_receipts_on_the_device) Does this mean that in the new version, as long as the app returns a payment success (purchaseDetails.status == PurchaseStatus.purchased), the payment is guaranteed to be successful, and my server does not need to request payment result verification from Apple's server?
I try to use this (https://github.com/apple/app-store-server-library-java) to get TransactionInfo, but I dont konw to get Transaction status to know is success or not.
my java server code :
AppStoreServerAPIClient client = new AppStoreServerAPIClient(encodedKey, keyId, issuerId, bundleId, environment); TransactionInfoResponse response = client.getTransactionInfo(transactionId);
(bug i can note get transaction status, how do i konw this Transaction is success or not)
Hello,
I am consistently receiving the error message "In-app purchases are not allowed on this device" whenever I try to make an in-app purchase on my iOS device. Despite following all the recommended solutions I could find online, the issue remains unresolved.
Here is a list of the steps I have already taken:
Checked Screen Time Settings:
I navigated to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases.
I have confirmed that "In-App Purchases" is set to "Allow." I have also tried toggling this setting off and on again.
Signed Out & In of Apple ID:
I signed out of my Apple ID via Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases, restarted the device, and then signed back in.
Restarted the Device:
I have force-restarted my device multiple times.
Updated iOS:
I have ensured my device is running the latest version of iOS (checked via Settings > General > Software Update).
Verified Payment Method:
I have confirmed that my payment method on file is valid and up-to-date.
Created a New Sandbox Account:
I also created a new Sandbox Tester account in App Store Connect and tested with it, but the result was the same.
Device Information:
Device Model: iPhone 15, iPhone 13
iOS Version: iOS 17.5, iOS 18
Even after performing all of these steps, the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered such a stubborn issue, or does anyone have a different solution I could try?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Where the problem occurs:
In-app purchase
Non-ApplePay
Non-local authentication login
Environment where the problem occurs:
Sandbox environment (Development environment, TestFlight environment)
Problem handling process:
Open page A in the app and purchase product B (auto-renewable subscription) on that page.
User authentication is required to purchase product B.
During the authentication process, the user needs to enter the Apple account and Apple account password.
After completing the authentication, complete the purchase of product B.
Problem in step 3:
Why is FaceID or TouchID not used for authentication?
Note: Face ID and Password -> iTunes Store and App Store -> Status is Enabled
Hi everyone,
I've been going back and forth with Apple’s review team for over 10 days now, and I'm still unable to get my first In-App Purchase (IAP) working correctly.
Here's what’s happening:
✅ The IAP works perfectly when I build and run directly from Xcode.
❌ However, when I test the app via TestFlight, tapping the purchase buttons does nothing—the IAP sheet doesn't appear.
Key issue (I think):
I believe the IAP hasn't been submitted properly for review. On App Store Connect, I cannot select the IAP under the “In-App Purchases” section of the version submission page. It's grayed out or not listed at all. As a result, Apple keeps rejecting my binary due to the IAP not being included in the review.
What I’ve already done:
Created the IAP (non-consumable)
Set pricing and cleared all errors
Checked Bundle ID, Product ID, and entitlements
Added In-App Purchase capability to the app target
Uploaded the binary via Xcode
Waited multiple times for status updates
My questions:
What’s the correct process to link the IAP to a specific app version if it doesn't show up in the version page?
Could this be an issue with App Store Connect metadata or approval timing, or am I missing something in Xcode/build settings?
Is there any way to force re-sync the IAP so it appears when submitting the build?
Has anyone resolved a similar issue recently?
This process has been incredibly frustrating, and the feedback from the review team so far has been very vague. I would really appreciate any detailed insight or steps to ensure the IAP is submitted correctly and works on TestFlight.
Thank you in advance!
