StoreKit Product Request Times Out in TestFlight (macOS) Despite Successful Server Connection
Product Timeout, In App purchase is approved in App Store Connect. The Product ID and Bundle ID match. Environment macOS App in TestFlight Bundle ID: com.streamtime.StreamTime App Version: 1.1 (Build 51) StoreKit 2 Product ID: com.streamtime.premium Status: App & Subscription Approved Issue StoreKit product request (Product.products(for:)) consistently times out after 60 seconds in TestFlight, despite all connectivity checks passing. The same code works perfectly in Xcode with local StoreKit configuration. Diagnostic Results ✅ Successful checks: App Store connectivity (HTTP 200 from buy.itunes.apple.com) Backend API connectivity (HTTP 200) StoreKit 2 API available AppStore.canMakePayments: true Valid receipt exists Bundle ID matches Product ID matches approved subscription ❌ Failing: Product request times out after 60 seconds No products returned Code Implementation // Direct product request (fails in TestFlight) let products = try await Product.products(for: ["com.streamtime.premium"]) Logs 🔍 App Bundle ID: com.streamtime.StreamTime 🔍 Product ID: com.streamtime.premium 🔍 AppStore.canMakePayments: true 🔍 Apple Store connectivity: HTTP 200 🔵 Direct request for product ID: 'com.streamtime.premium' ⏱️ Direct request start time: 2025-08-30 10:21:32 +0000 ❌ TIMEOUT: Product request took longer than 60 seconds What I've Tried Removed manual in-app-purchase entitlement (per Apple's guidance) Using automatic signing Verified subscription is approved in App Store Connect Using Sandbox Apple ID in TestFlight Verified all network connectivity Questions Why does StoreKit timeout only in TestFlight when all other connectivity works? Are there additional configuration steps needed for macOS apps vs iOS? Could this be related to the automatic in-app purchase entitlement? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as this is blocking our TestFlight validation.

Conversion tracking with the SKAN
Hello all, We developed an iOS app which we started advertising now. In our iOS app we already implemented the updatePostbackConversionValue(_:completionHandler:) to send in-app events in increasing numbers (first open -> 1, lead ->2, conversion -> 3). From our understanding this should be enough for alle ad networks (Apple Ads, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads and Reddit Ads) to receive those numbers - at least they receive the app installs from the SKAN already. Is this correct or do we miss something here in the integration? We currently really struggle to assure that everything is working and we do not see any conversions coming in - even though two weeks of advertising have passed already. I look forward for any feedback or discussion and I am also happy to share more details if needed. Best regards, Manuel

Renewal Info never contains offerType
Signed renewal info from 'Get Subscription Statuses' or in server notifications never has the offerType or offerDiscountType even when the corresponding transaction does have those values set. Our offer is a free trial. Do these properties refer to something different in JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload than they do in transactions? I'm trying to determine whether a subscription (identified by originalTransactionId) is currently in a free trial based on server notifications. The status doesn't tell us if the subscription is currently in free trial and the signedTransactionInfo may be for an older transaction.

Recurring subscriptions return with an "Unknown Error" fail message
Testing recurring subscriptions in a new release in both development environment and in Test Flight, we see an increased percentage of failed calls returning from Apple server. The return failure message is that an unknown error occurred. The behavior is not consistent and most often we get a failure and another attempt succeeds. We do get around 50% failures which is alarming and cannot be explained to the end user. We have also experimented with previous test versions that are in production currently and we see the same behavior, so this is not isolated to the most recent release we plan nor to a specific application we have. Past testing in previous releases did not return such high percentage of failures from Apple server. Have you encountered such an issue? We have no idea what may cause Apple server to return with this "Unknown error" and there is no log we can consume from Apple subscription service. Appreciate your help on this.

I can't figure out how subscriptions work
Hi, This is the first time I'm submitting an app using IAP with auto-renewing subscriptions. Everything keeps getting rejected (specifically, my subscriptions), and instead of telling me what's wrong or what I need to fix, my reviewer just keeps regurgitating generic passages from the rules. Is there a site/tutorial/whatever that explains how to set these up and submit them? I haven't found anything that looks official/legit, so I'll settle on something recommended by someone who has been through the process. I would appreciate any help. I have been at this for DAYS and am at my wits end. Thanks.

App crashes on launch due to missing Swift Concurrency symbol
I'm encountering a crash on app launch. The crash is observed in iOS version 17.6 but not in iOS version 18.5. The only new notable thing I added to this app version was migrate to store kit 2. Below is the error message from Xcode: Referenced from: <DCC68597-D1F6-32AA-8635-FB975BD853FE> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/6FB3DDE4-6AD5-4778-AD8A-896F99E744E8/callbreak.app/callbreak Expected in: <A0C8B407-0ABF-3C28-A54C-FE8B1D3FA7AC> /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib Symbol not found: _$sScIsE4next9isolation7ElementQzSgScA_pSgYi_tYa7FailureQzYKFTu Referenced from: <DCC68597-D1F6-32AA-8635-FB975BD853FE> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/6FB3DDE4-6AD5-4778-AD8A-896F99E744E8/callbreak.app/callbreak Expected in: <A0C8B407-0ABF-3C28-A54C-FE8B1D3FA7AC> /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib dyld config: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/system/introspection DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libLogRedirect.dylib:/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/usr/lib/libRPAC.dylib:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GPUToolsCapture.framework/GPUToolsCapture:/usr/lib/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib``` and Stack Trace: ```* thread #1, stop reason = signal SIGABRT * frame #0: 0x00000001c73716f8 dyld`__abort_with_payload + 8 frame #1: 0x00000001c737ce34 dyld`abort_with_payload_wrapper_internal + 104 frame #2: 0x00000001c737ce68 dyld`abort_with_payload + 16 frame #3: 0x00000001c7309dd4 dyld`dyld4::halt(char const*, dyld4::StructuredError const*) + 304 frame #4: 0x00000001c73176a8 dyld`dyld4::prepare(...) + 4088 frame #5: 0x00000001c733bef4 dyld`start + 1748``` Note: My app is a Godot App and uses objc static libraries. I am using swift with bridging headers for interoperability. This issue wasn't observed until my last version in which the migration to storekit2 was the only notable change.

SubscriptionStoreView Not Working
Hello, I have two auto-renewable subscriptions set up in App Store Connect. However, when I try to use SubscriptionStoreView, I receive the following error: Subscription store should include at least one auto-renewable subscription. I believe my .xcodeproj is misconfigured, as I created a new project since I wanted to start from scratch. What am I missing?

Server-to-server notification received 2 days after subscription
One of our customers subscribed to a monthly plan on August 16 but the server-to-server notification seems to have been sent on August 18. What could be the reasons for such a delay between the purchase and the server-to-server notification which are usually sent right after the purchase? The receipt sent along with the notification seems to confirm that the receipt has only been created 2 days after the purchase. Here is an extract: { "environment": "Production", "receipt": { "receipt_type": "Production", "bundle_id": "fr.gaumontvideo.gaumontclassique", "application_version": "613", "receipt_creation_date": "2025-08-18 13:00:16 Etc/GMT", "receipt_creation_date_ms": "1755522016000", "receipt_creation_date_pst": "2025-08-18 06:00:16 America/Los_Angeles", "request_date": "2025-08-25 13:08:27 Etc/GMT", "request_date_ms": "1756127307346", "request_date_pst": "2025-08-25 06:08:27 America/Los_Angeles", "original_purchase_date": "2022-05-11 06:14:37 Etc/GMT", "original_purchase_date_ms": "1652249677000", "original_purchase_date_pst": "2022-05-10 23:14:37 America/Los_Angeles", "original_application_version": "265", "in_app": [ { "quantity": "1", "product_id": "fr.gaumontvideo.gaumontclassique.subscription.monthly.apple", "transaction_id": "270002386706194", "original_transaction_id": "270002386706194", "purchase_date": "2025-08-16 08:02:06 Etc/GMT", "purchase_date_ms": "1755331326000", "purchase_date_pst": "2025-08-16 01:02:06 America/Los_Angeles", "original_purchase_date": "2025-08-16 08:02:08 Etc/GMT", "original_purchase_date_ms": "1755331328000", "original_purchase_date_pst": "2025-08-16 01:02:08 America/Los_Angeles", "expires_date": "2025-09-16 08:02:06 Etc/GMT", "expires_date_ms": "1758009726000", "expires_date_pst": "2025-09-16 01:02:06 America/Los_Angeles" } }

Reuse a product id from app A in app B for In-app purchase in my iOS app
I have an app which is already on App Store with In-app purchase. Now I want to integrate In-app purchase in my another app for the same products as in the existing app. Both the apps are using same Apple Account. Can I reuse those Product Ids from the first app in the second one. If yes, what is the ways to use them. Thank you in advance.

Validating receipt for iOS in-app purchase always returns error 21002
I'm receiving the following error when attempting to validate an in‑app purchase receipt: Certificate verification failed at depth 0 : forge.pki.UnknownCertificateAuthority Certificate chain validation failed: Certificate is not trusted. This error occurs during the certificate chain validation process of the receipt's PKCS#7 container. My implementation uses node‑forge to decode the receipt, extract the embedded certificate chain, and verify that the chain properly links from the leaf certificate (which directly signed the receipt) through the intermediate certificate to the trusted Apple Inc. Root certificate. What the Error Indicates: "UnknownCertificateAuthority" at depth 0: This suggests that the leaf certificate in the receipt is not being recognized as part of a valid chain because it cannot be linked back to a trusted root in my CA store. "Certificate chain validation failed: Certificate is not trusted": This means that the entire certificate chain does not chain up to a trusted certificate authority (in this case, the Apple Inc. Root certificate) as expected. Steps Taken: I verified that the receipt is a valid PKCS#7 container. I extracted the certificate chain from the receipt. However, the receipt only provided the leaf certificate. I manually added the intermediate certificate (AppleWWDRCAG5.pem) to complete the chain. I loaded the official Apple Inc. Root certificate (AppleIncRootCertificate.pem) into my CA store. Despite these steps, the validation still fails at depth 0, indicating that the leaf certificate is not recognized as being issued by a trusted authority. Request for Assistance: Could you please help clarify the following points: Is the certificate chain for receipts (leaf → intermediate → Apple Inc. Root) as expected, or has there been any change in the chain that I should account for? Is there a recommended or updated intermediate certificate I should be using for receipt validation? Are there known issues or recent changes on Apple's side that might cause the leaf certificate to not be recognized as part of a valid chain? Any guidance to resolve this certificate chain validation error would be greatly appreciated.

Converting Payed App to Freemium
I just converted my App to Freemium, but the method is used to give user, that bought the App before it was free, access to the paid futures seems not to be working. I am getting the original Purchase Date from the AppTransaction (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/originalpurchasedate) and comparing that to a set date where the App Model changed. In Test Flight this is working without any Problems but on the Live System, users that have purchased the App do not get access! let shared = try await AppTransaction.refresh() if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared { result(appTransaction.originalPurchaseDate.ISO8601Format()). } I am using flutter to develop the App and the result()... send the string back to the flutter side. Here is the code of the Flutter side: Future<void> restorePurchases() async { SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.pending); await InAppPurchase.instance.restorePurchases(); if (Platform.isIOS) { DateTime changedToFreemium = DateTime.utc(2025, 4, 7, 11, 0, 0); String? purchaseDateRaw = await IosFlutterChannel().getOriginalPurchaseDate(); if (kDebugMode) { print("Purchase Date Raw: $purchaseDateRaw"); } if (purchaseDateRaw != null) { DateTime purchaseDate = DateTime.parse(purchaseDateRaw); if (purchaseDate.isBefore(changedToFreemium)) { if (kDebugMode) { print("Restoring legacy purchases"); } SubscriptionProvider().update(true, SubscriptionStatus.active, SubscriptionType.fs_lifetime); } else { if (kDebugMode) { print("Not restoring legacy purchases"); } } } } SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.purchased); } Console Log when running in Test Environment: flutter: Purchase Date Raw: 2013-08-01T07:00:00Z flutter: Restoring legacy purchases Thanks!

How to Simulate Subscription Cancellation with Products.storekit in Simulator?
Hi, Currently, instead of using a real device and test account for in-app purchase testing, we are using Products.storekit with the Simulator. Our app offers a subscription plan with a 3-day free trial. We would like to simulate the following test scenarios: User cancels the subscription within the 3-day free trial period. User cancels the subscription after the 3-day free trial period. However, in Xcode, under Debug > StoreKit > Manage Transactions..., we couldn’t find an option to simulate a subscription cancellation. There is an option to refund the purchase, but we believe this is not the same as a cancellation. Do you have any idea how we can simulate these two cases using Products.storekit and the Simulator? Thanks in advance!

About review app and subscription
When submitting an app for review, will any unreviewed auto-renewing subscriptions within the app be reviewed simultaneously? I own an app that has passed review and offers an auto-renewing subscription A within the app that has also passed review. To test a new service, I plan to create a new auto-renewing subscription B, which I do not intend to submit for review. After creating Subscription B, I plan to submit the app for review as part of an app update. In that case, is there a possibility that Subscription B will also be reviewed?

StoreKit2
Hello, I use Storekit2 to test the purchase of subscription products. After purchasing a subscription product in the sandbox, it will automatically renew 12 times, and then it will no longer automatically renew. When I click to purchase again, calling the try await product.purchase() method does not pop up the purchase pop-up window. In fact, it will directly go to the case let .success(.verified(transaction)): step, and the Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty

Why does a purchase result in success unverified?
A purchase can result in success with verificationResult .unverified. Is there a list of reasons for which the transaction might be unverified and how should i handle it in my app? From my understanding, a successful unverified transaction means the user has already paid for the purchase. So, do i just ignore the unverified transaction or do i provide content to the user anyways?

InvalidRequestError on iOS 18.4
We’ve recently encountered an increased rate of purchase errors StoreKit.InvalidRequestError error 1 (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/invalidrequesterror) specifically on iOS 18.4. We suspect this might be related to the new Advanced Commerce API introduced by Apple, although we haven’t made any changes related to this API in our app. Have you experienced similar issues since the release of iOS 18.4 or when integrating the Advanced Commerce API? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
