Inconsistent behavior with transactionId and appAccountToken in iOS Sandbox purchases (StoreKit1 & StoreKit2)
Hi, I'm reaching out to report a recurring issue with in-app purchases on iOS that seems to be related to Apple’s transaction handling — not to third-party libraries. In my Flutter application, I use both StoreKit2 and StoreKit1 (for comparison) via different packages, including the official in_app_purchase package. However, in both cases, I’m experiencing unexpected reuse of transactionId and appTransactionId values, even when initiating fresh purchases with unique appAccountToken values. Problem Summary: Purchase Stream Returns Old Purchases When calling buyNonConsumable() with a new product, the purchase stream still returns data for a previously purchased product, despite clearing all Sandbox transactions and using a new applicationUserName for each attempt. Transaction IDs Reused Across Distinct Purchases Even when generating a new UUID for appAccountToken on each purchase, the returned appTransactionId and transactionId are reused — this breaks our server-side logic, which expects these fields to uniquely identify purchases and users. Example Logs: // First purchase { "appAccountToken": "2d5a0880-f68e-44a7-a414-f51204e63904", "appTransactionId": "704464472748013865", "transactionId": "2000000928154716" } // Second purchase (different user context) { "appAccountToken": "2d5a0880-f68e-44a7-a414-f51204e63904", "appTransactionId": "704464472748013865", "transactionId": "2000000928429780" } Even when using a different productId, the appTransactionId stays the same. When using StoreKit1, the productId updates properly, but the transactionId still matches the previous one. This behavior also affects App Store Server Notifications (V2): we have observed notifications tied to appAccountTokens from completely different user accounts (based on internal logs), sometimes delayed by days or weeks. I’ve prepared a reproducible example using the official Flutter in_app_purchase sample with minimal changes — you can find it here: Github gist The code is almost identical to the package example. I only added UUID generation for applicationUserName in _getToken(). In the actual app (not in this example), I retrieve the token from an API. Additional Observations from the Community: We’ve also found similar issues reported in other frameworks and languages. For instance, a developer using react-native-iap observed that App Store Server Notifications in TestFlight were tied to previously deleted users, even after signing up with a new user account and generating a new appAccountToken. Details here: User A deleted → User B signs up → receives upgrade event with User A’s token Notification uses appAccountToken from old account, not the new one This strengthens the suspicion that the issue may be related to how Apple associates transactions with Apple IDs in test environments. Questions: Is it expected for transactionId or appTransactionId to persist across purchases within the same Apple ID, even for different user contexts (e.g., separate logins in the same app)? Is there any official recommendation for avoiding this kind of data reuse in Sandbox or TestFlight environments? Should I expect appAccountToken in server notifications to always match the latest value provided during the purchase? Thank you in advance for your assistance. I would appreciate any clarification or advice regarding this issue, as it impacts production logic that relies on these identifiers being unique and consistent.

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!

SubscriptionStoreView Localization Error
Hello! The localization isn't working when using SubscriptionStoreView. The app hasn't been published yet. The subscription has been created and localization strings have been added. Status - ready to submit. Testing environment: Sandbox When calling SubscriptionStoreView, the debug console shows this error: GenerativeModelsAvailability.Parameters: Initialized with invalid language code: ru-RU. Expected to receive two-letter ISO 639 code. e.g. 'zh' or 'en'. Falling back to: ru Despite this, the subscription interface appears in English when Russian is expected. I don't use any locale setting for ru-RU anywhere in my code. The test device's region is set to Russia, and the language is Russian. Any help would be appreciated.

Unexpected Change in Apple Refund Handling CONSUMPTION_REQUEST - Impact on Subscription App with AI Backend
We offer a 3-day free trial, and our paywall clearly states that users will be charged after the trial ends. However, some users request refunds after the charge - even after fully using our app for days or even weeks. In some cases, refunds are approved despite the users having consumed our AI processing services for up to a month. Since our app relies on backend AI processing, each user session incurs a real cost. To prevent losses, we utilize RevenueCat’s CONSUMPTION_REQUEST system and have set our refundPreference to: "2. You prefer that Apple declines the refund". Until recently, Apple typically respected this preference, and 90% of refund requests were declined as intended. However, starting about a week ago, we observed a sudden reversal: Apple is now approving around 90% of refund requests, despite our refund preference. As a result, we are operating at a loss and have had to halt both our marketing campaigns and our 3-day free trial. We’re trying to understand whether this shift is due to a change in Apple’s refund policy, or if we need to handle CONSUMPTION_REQUEST differently on our end. Has anyone else experienced similar changes? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Transaction.currentEntitlements is not consistent
I've recently published an app, and while developing it, I could always get consistent entitlements from Transaction.currentEntitlements. But now I see some inconsistent behaviour for a subscribed device in the AppStore version. It looks like sometimes the entitlements do not emit value for the subscriptions. It usually happens on the first couple tries when the device goes offline, or on the first couple tries when the device goes online. But it also happens randomly at other times as well. Can there be a problem with Transaction.currentEntitlements when the connectivity was just changed? Of course my implementation may also be broken. I will give you the details of my implementation below. I have a SubscriptionManager that is observable (irrelevant parts of the entity is omitted): final class SubscriptionManager: NSObject, ObservableObject { private let productIds = ["yearly", "monthly"] private(set) var purchasedProductIDs = Set<String>() var hasUnlockedPro: Bool { return !self.purchasedProductIDs.isEmpty } @MainActor func updatePurchasedProducts() async { var purchasedProductIDs = Set<String>() for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { guard case .verified(let transaction) = result else { continue } if transaction.revocationDate == nil { purchasedProductIDs.insert(transaction.productID) } else { purchasedProductIDs.remove(transaction.productID) } } // only update if changed to avoid unnecessary published triggers if purchasedProductIDs != self.purchasedProductIDs { self.purchasedProductIDs = purchasedProductIDs } } } And I call the updatePurchasedProducts() when the app first launches in AppDelegate, before returning true on didFinishLaunchingWithOptions as: Task(priority: .high) { await DependencyContainer.shared.subscriptionManager.updatePurchasedProducts() } You may be wondering maybe the request is not finished yet and I fail to refresh my UI, but it is not the case. Because later on, every time I do something related to a subscribed content, I check the hasUnlockedPro computed property of the subscription manager, which still returns false, meaning the purchasedProductIDs is empty. You may also be curious about the dependency container approach, but I ensured by testing multiple times that there is only one instance of the SubscriptionManager at all times in the app. Which makes me think maybe there is something wrong with Transaction.currentEntitlements I would appreciate any help regarding this problem, or would like to know if anyone else experienced similar problems.

Incorrect storefront country code
Both the legacy StoreKit API and the new StoreKit 2 API return the incorrect storefront countryCode. My actual Apple ID region is Germany, and my Sandbox test user is set to France, yet the SDK consistently returns USA. Expected Results: The returned storefront countryCode should reflect the correct region - sandbox user region if signed in and real user region if not signed in with sandbox). Actual Results: Returned country code is USA with both SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode and await Storefront.current?.countryCode. Signing out/in, device reboot and even reset do not help, I'm stuck with USA storefront.

Subscription failure in 26.4, 26.4.1
We have a user from Asia whose subscription failed to be detected by our app. On 26.4. They also tried revoking the yearly subscription and activating a monthly. Payment ok and the device reported that the subscription is active. Our code relies on Transaction.currentEntitlements in StoreKit, which seems to be broken, at least for this user. None of these worked: Installing iOS 26.4.1 Reinstalling our app Logging out and in from iCloud. Hard device reset Full iOS reinstall. User finally gave up and got a refund. I am reporting here in case other apps experienced similar problems. This discussion mentions that a regression in 26.4 might have contributed to the issue which is supposed to be fixed in 26.4.1. ( https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/820562?answerId=883682022#883682022 ) The issue may have persisted or left the entitlements corrupt for this particular user. Hoping that the issue is resolved so we do not have more problems in the future.

StoreKit 2: Transaction.all and Transaction.currentEntitlements return empty for valid non-consumable purchases in production
FB: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22556883 We're seeing a small number of production users where both Transaction.currentEntitlements and Transaction.all return zero transactions for a valid, active, non-refunded non-consumable IAP. This makes it impossible to restore the purchase via any StoreKit 2 API. Environment: Xcode 26.4 (Build 17E192) iOS 26.4.1 Direct call to SK2 Transactions.all & Flutter in_app_purchase package v3.2.3 (uses SK2 on iOS 15+) Non-consumable IAP (one-time purchase) What we observe: AppStore.sync() triggers but the purchase stream returns 0 transactions Transaction.all returns empty Transaction.currentEntitlements also returns empty User is confirmed on the correct Apple ID Issue reproduces on both iPhone and Mac for the same Apple ID Issue appears to have started recently for users who previously had no problems Debug log from affected production user: [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744115Z] init: iapAvailable=true [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744566Z] init: isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744567Z] init: triggering silent restorePurchases [2026-04-20T08:50:45.974566Z] restore: started [2026-04-20T08:50:45.986848Z] restore: sk2Transactions count=0 [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993004Z] restore: sk2Direct isVerified=false active=null [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993011Z] restore: sk2Direct inconclusive — falling back to standard restore [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000851Z] restore: timed out after 30s — fallback isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000910Z] restore: completed — succeeded=false foundPurchase=false Unable to reproduce in sandbox — Transaction.all works correctly there. Appears specific to production for a small subset of users. Has anyone else seen this?

Offer code redemption fails with "This promotional offer is not available" for non-consumable IAP
I'm trying to distribute one-time use offer codes for a non-consumable IAP, but every redemption attempt fails at the App Store with the error: Unable to Purchase This promotional offer is not available. My setup: the app is in Ready for Distribution state, the IAP is Non-Consumable and Approved, and the offer is a Free one-time use offer available in all 175 territories. I generated a batch of 500 production codes which are active and were created more than 24 hours ago. I've already ruled out the usual suspects: the app is installed from the public App Store (not TestFlight), the test Apple IDs have never purchased this IAP before, the storefront is included in the offer's territories, and the IAP works correctly when purchased at regular price. The error reproduces across multiple users, devices, and Apple IDs, and each failing code is still unredeemed. Has anyone successfully shipped non-consumable offer codes since the October 2025 rollout? Thanks!

Advanced Commerce (Sandbox) – Generic Product Still “Ready to Submit”
Hello, Our app is approved for the Advanced Commerce API and we are currently testing in the Sandbox environment only. We have created generic product identifiers and have already submitted them via the Advanced Commerce API Access form. However, the generic product status in App Store Connect is still “Ready to Submit.” For Sandbox testing, is this status expected, or do we need to submit an app build or the generic product for review before Advanced Commerce works correctly? Thank you.

Promotional offer purchase fails in Sandbox with ASDServerErrorDomain 3902 after payment sheet
Hello, I’m integrating promotional offers for auto-renewable subscriptions using StoreKit 2. The offer is displayed correctly, the Apple purchase sheet appears, and I can start the payment flow. The sheet shows the correct discounted price and the end date of the offer. However, after confirming the purchase, an alert appears saying “Unable to Purchase - Contact the developer for more information” When dismissing the alert, Xcode logs the following: Purchase did not return a transaction: Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3902 "No se ha podido realizar la compra" UserInfo={ NSLocalizedFailureReason=No se ha podido realizar la compra, client-environment-type=Sandbox, AMSServerErrorCode=3902, storefront-country-code=ESP } Test environment: App installed from Xcode on a real iPhone Logged in with a Sandbox Apple ID Using StoreKit 2 Promotional offer applied using: Product.PurchaseOption.promotionalOffer(_:compactJWS:) On the server side, I generate the promotional offer signature exactly as described in Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/generating-a-signature-for-promotional-offers The signature is generated using a Subscription Key Signed with ECDSA + SHA256 Uses the correct invisible separator (U+2063) The signature is validated locally using the derived public key and verifies correctly The sandbox user has had previous subscriptions, which is why this promotional offer is eligible and shown. Given that: The offer is displayed correctly The purchase sheet shows the discounted price and duration The signature validates locally The error occurs only after confirming the purchase My question is: Is this a known limitation or issue with promotional offers in the Sandbox environment? Should promotional offers be tested exclusively via TestFlight instead of Sandbox? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

StoreKit: No products returned in Sandbox + "This item is not available" in "initiate transaction"
Hi, my app was rejected because IAP were not present in the app. I followed guidelines more carefully and filled all buisness detail since then. And now I have: StoreKit Configuration in XCode is set to None, Products (subscription + consumable product) are already approved (from the previous review) Paid Apps Agreement - active Bank account - active Tax forms - active Compliance - active Problems: When trying to test it with TestFlight + sandbox account, StoreKit is returning zero products. When trying to check my products by "initiate transaction" from Sandbox App Store manage dashboard I am getting an error "This item is not available" I am totally stuck and don't know what to process next. Unfortunately API.

Double-counted consumable in StoreKit unfinished and updates workflow
In Getting started with In-App Purchase using StoreKit views and the corresponding sample project, Store simultaneously enumerates Transaction.unfinished and Transaction.updates. Since, "if your app has unfinished transactions, the updates listener receives them once, immediately after the app launches," it appears that Transaction.unfinished would also receive the same unfinished transactions causing handle(updatedTransaction:) to be called for twice for each transaction, causing consumables to be double-counted. Is this a bug in the sample? Is there more information on concurrent execution of unfinished and updates?

storefront.countryCode is fixed to USA in iOS 26 beta
Whether using Storefront.current?.countryCode or SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode, both are returning "USA" only. (It used to return the correct country code before the update.) In the sandbox environment, the country code is returned correctly, but in the TestFlight environment, it always returns "USA". There's no mention of this behavior in the beta release notes, so I'm posting it here for visibility.

Inquiry Regarding Potential StoreKit v2 Transaction Handling Issue
Dear Apple Technical Support Team, We have encountered a potential issue related to transaction handling while using StoreKit v2, and would greatly appreciate your assistance in confirming the behavior or providing any relevant guidance. Issue Description: When calling Transaction.unfinished and listening to Transaction.updates on the client side, we noticed that some transactions—despite having already been processed and successfully completed with finish()—are being returned again upon the next app launch, which results in duplicate receipt uploads. Current Handling Flow: 1. Upon app launch: • Iterate over Transaction.unfinished to retrieve unfinished transactions; • Simultaneously listen for transaction changes via Transaction.updates (e.g., renewals, refunds); 2. For each verified transaction, we immediately call await transaction.finish(); 3. We then construct a transaction model, store it locally, and report it to our backend for receipt verification; 4. After the server successfully verifies the receipt, the client deletes the corresponding local record; 5. On every app launch, the client checks for any locally stored receipts that haven’t been uploaded, and re-uploads them if necessary. Key Code Snippets: private static func verifyReceipt(receiptResult: VerificationResult) -> Transaction? { switch receiptResult { case .unverified(_, _): return nil case .verified(let signedType): return signedType } } public static func handleUnfinishedTransactions(payConfig: YCStoreKitPayConfig, complete: ((YCStoreKitReceiptModel?) -> Void)?) { Task.detached { for await unfinishedResult in Transaction.unfinished { let transaction = YCStoreKitV2Manager.verifyReceipt(receiptResult: unfinishedResult) if let transaction { await transaction.finish() if transaction.revocationDate == nil { let receipt = YCStoreKitV2Manager.createStoreKitReceiptModel( transation: transaction, jwsString: unfinishedResult.jwsRepresentation, payConfig: payConfig, isRenew: false ) complete?(receipt) } } } } } private func observeTransactionUpdates() -> Task<Void, Never> { return Task { for await updateResult in Transaction.updates { let transaction = YCStoreKitV2Manager.verifyReceipt(receiptResult: updateResult) if let transaction { await transaction.finish() if transaction.revocationDate == nil { let receipt = YCStoreKitV2Manager.createStoreKitReceiptModel( transation: transaction, jwsString: updateResult.jwsRepresentation, payConfig: self.payConfig, isRenew: false ) self.callProgressChanged(.receiptPrepared, receiptModel: receipt, errorType: .none, error: nil) } } } } } Our Questions: 1. Is it possible for Transaction.unfinished or Transaction.updates to return transactions that have already been finished? Specifically, if a transaction was successfully finished in a previous app launch, could it still be returned again during the next launch? 2. Are there any flaws in our current handling process? Our current sequence is: finish() → construct model → local save → report to server → delete after verification. Could this order lead to timing issues where StoreKit considers a transaction unfinished? 3. If we need your assistance in investigating specific user transaction records or logs, what key information should we provide? We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to your response to help us further optimize our transaction processing logic.

Does SubscriptionStoreView .storeButton(for:.policies) work?
I've added .storeButton(.visible, for:.policies) to my SubscriptionStoreView, and the buttons do appear, but when I tap on them I get a sheet that just says "Terms of Service Unavailable / Somethng went wrong. Try Again.". (similar for Privacy Policy). Is this expected in development? Will these start working correctly in production? (and, more importantly, in App Review?) The docs say that these use the values (i.e. URLs) set in App Store Connect, but that I can override those. This is a new app. Is that wrong, do I need to set the URLs explicitly? Edited to add: the console reports: Failed to fetch terms of service and privacy policy: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "(null)"

Unknown Error when Trying to Add New Offer Codes
Hi there! Whenever I try to add a new Offer Code for my app's subscription, I get an unknown error. When I get to the last step of the "Create Offer for Codes" flow, I get an error that error reads "An error has occurred. Try again later." I have been getting this same error for over a week now, so any help figuring out how to add new offer codes would be greatly appreciated!

We have a user from Asia whose subscription failed to be detected by our app. On 26.4. They also tried revoking the yearly subscription and activating a monthly. Payment ok and the device reported that the subscription is active. Our code relies on Transaction.currentEntitlements in StoreKit, which seems to be broken, at least for this user. None of these worked: Installing iOS 26.4.1 Reinstalling our app Logging out and in from iCloud. Hard device reset Full iOS reinstall. User finally gave up and got a refund. I am reporting here in case other apps experienced similar problems. This discussion mentions that a regression in 26.4 might have contributed to the issue which is supposed to be fixed in 26.4.1. ( https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/820562?answerId=883682022#883682022 ) The issue may have persisted or left the entitlements corrupt for this particular user. Hoping that the issue is resolved so we do not have more problems in the future.

StoreKit 2: Transaction.all and Transaction.currentEntitlements return empty for valid non-consumable purchases in production
FB: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22556883 We're seeing a small number of production users where both Transaction.currentEntitlements and Transaction.all return zero transactions for a valid, active, non-refunded non-consumable IAP. This makes it impossible to restore the purchase via any StoreKit 2 API. Environment: Xcode 26.4 (Build 17E192) iOS 26.4.1 Direct call to SK2 Transactions.all & Flutter in_app_purchase package v3.2.3 (uses SK2 on iOS 15+) Non-consumable IAP (one-time purchase) What we observe: AppStore.sync() triggers but the purchase stream returns 0 transactions Transaction.all returns empty Transaction.currentEntitlements also returns empty User is confirmed on the correct Apple ID Issue reproduces on both iPhone and Mac for the same Apple ID Issue appears to have started recently for users who previously had no problems Debug log from affected production user: [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744115Z] init: iapAvailable=true [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744566Z] init: isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744567Z] init: triggering silent restorePurchases [2026-04-20T08:50:45.974566Z] restore: started [2026-04-20T08:50:45.986848Z] restore: sk2Transactions count=0 [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993004Z] restore: sk2Direct isVerified=false active=null [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993011Z] restore: sk2Direct inconclusive — falling back to standard restore [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000851Z] restore: timed out after 30s — fallback isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000910Z] restore: completed — succeeded=false foundPurchase=false Unable to reproduce in sandbox — Transaction.all works correctly there. Appears specific to production for a small subset of users. Has anyone else seen this?

Offer code redemption fails with "This promotional offer is not available" for non-consumable IAP
I'm trying to distribute one-time use offer codes for a non-consumable IAP, but every redemption attempt fails at the App Store with the error: Unable to Purchase This promotional offer is not available. My setup: the app is in Ready for Distribution state, the IAP is Non-Consumable and Approved, and the offer is a Free one-time use offer available in all 175 territories. I generated a batch of 500 production codes which are active and were created more than 24 hours ago. I've already ruled out the usual suspects: the app is installed from the public App Store (not TestFlight), the test Apple IDs have never purchased this IAP before, the storefront is included in the offer's territories, and the IAP works correctly when purchased at regular price. The error reproduces across multiple users, devices, and Apple IDs, and each failing code is still unredeemed. Has anyone successfully shipped non-consumable offer codes since the October 2025 rollout? Thanks!

Advanced Commerce (Sandbox) – Generic Product Still “Ready to Submit”
Hello, Our app is approved for the Advanced Commerce API and we are currently testing in the Sandbox environment only. We have created generic product identifiers and have already submitted them via the Advanced Commerce API Access form. However, the generic product status in App Store Connect is still “Ready to Submit.” For Sandbox testing, is this status expected, or do we need to submit an app build or the generic product for review before Advanced Commerce works correctly? Thank you.

Promotional offer purchase fails in Sandbox with ASDServerErrorDomain 3902 after payment sheet
Hello, I’m integrating promotional offers for auto-renewable subscriptions using StoreKit 2. The offer is displayed correctly, the Apple purchase sheet appears, and I can start the payment flow. The sheet shows the correct discounted price and the end date of the offer. However, after confirming the purchase, an alert appears saying “Unable to Purchase - Contact the developer for more information” When dismissing the alert, Xcode logs the following: Purchase did not return a transaction: Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3902 "No se ha podido realizar la compra" UserInfo={ NSLocalizedFailureReason=No se ha podido realizar la compra, client-environment-type=Sandbox, AMSServerErrorCode=3902, storefront-country-code=ESP } Test environment: App installed from Xcode on a real iPhone Logged in with a Sandbox Apple ID Using StoreKit 2 Promotional offer applied using: Product.PurchaseOption.promotionalOffer(_:compactJWS:) On the server side, I generate the promotional offer signature exactly as described in Apple’s documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/generating-a-signature-for-promotional-offers The signature is generated using a Subscription Key Signed with ECDSA + SHA256 Uses the correct invisible separator (U+2063) The signature is validated locally using the derived public key and verifies correctly The sandbox user has had previous subscriptions, which is why this promotional offer is eligible and shown. Given that: The offer is displayed correctly The purchase sheet shows the discounted price and duration The signature validates locally The error occurs only after confirming the purchase My question is: Is this a known limitation or issue with promotional offers in the Sandbox environment? Should promotional offers be tested exclusively via TestFlight instead of Sandbox? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

StoreKit: No products returned in Sandbox + "This item is not available" in "initiate transaction"
Hi, my app was rejected because IAP were not present in the app. I followed guidelines more carefully and filled all buisness detail since then. And now I have: StoreKit Configuration in XCode is set to None, Products (subscription + consumable product) are already approved (from the previous review) Paid Apps Agreement - active Bank account - active Tax forms - active Compliance - active Problems: When trying to test it with TestFlight + sandbox account, StoreKit is returning zero products. When trying to check my products by "initiate transaction" from Sandbox App Store manage dashboard I am getting an error "This item is not available" I am totally stuck and don't know what to process next. Unfortunately API.

Double-counted consumable in StoreKit unfinished and updates workflow
In Getting started with In-App Purchase using StoreKit views and the corresponding sample project, Store simultaneously enumerates Transaction.unfinished and Transaction.updates. Since, "if your app has unfinished transactions, the updates listener receives them once, immediately after the app launches," it appears that Transaction.unfinished would also receive the same unfinished transactions causing handle(updatedTransaction:) to be called for twice for each transaction, causing consumables to be double-counted. Is this a bug in the sample? Is there more information on concurrent execution of unfinished and updates?

storefront.countryCode is fixed to USA in iOS 26 beta
Whether using Storefront.current?.countryCode or SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode, both are returning "USA" only. (It used to return the correct country code before the update.) In the sandbox environment, the country code is returned correctly, but in the TestFlight environment, it always returns "USA". There's no mention of this behavior in the beta release notes, so I'm posting it here for visibility.

Inquiry Regarding Potential StoreKit v2 Transaction Handling Issue
Dear Apple Technical Support Team, We have encountered a potential issue related to transaction handling while using StoreKit v2, and would greatly appreciate your assistance in confirming the behavior or providing any relevant guidance. Issue Description: When calling Transaction.unfinished and listening to Transaction.updates on the client side, we noticed that some transactions—despite having already been processed and successfully completed with finish()—are being returned again upon the next app launch, which results in duplicate receipt uploads. Current Handling Flow: 1. Upon app launch: • Iterate over Transaction.unfinished to retrieve unfinished transactions; • Simultaneously listen for transaction changes via Transaction.updates (e.g., renewals, refunds); 2. For each verified transaction, we immediately call await transaction.finish(); 3. We then construct a transaction model, store it locally, and report it to our backend for receipt verification; 4. After the server successfully verifies the receipt, the client deletes the corresponding local record; 5. On every app launch, the client checks for any locally stored receipts that haven’t been uploaded, and re-uploads them if necessary. Key Code Snippets: private static func verifyReceipt(receiptResult: VerificationResult) -> Transaction? { switch receiptResult { case .unverified(_, _): return nil case .verified(let signedType): return signedType } } public static func handleUnfinishedTransactions(payConfig: YCStoreKitPayConfig, complete: ((YCStoreKitReceiptModel?) -> Void)?) { Task.detached { for await unfinishedResult in Transaction.unfinished { let transaction = YCStoreKitV2Manager.verifyReceipt(receiptResult: unfinishedResult) if let transaction { await transaction.finish() if transaction.revocationDate == nil { let receipt = YCStoreKitV2Manager.createStoreKitReceiptModel( transation: transaction, jwsString: unfinishedResult.jwsRepresentation, payConfig: payConfig, isRenew: false ) complete?(receipt) } } } } } private func observeTransactionUpdates() -> Task<Void, Never> { return Task { for await updateResult in Transaction.updates { let transaction = YCStoreKitV2Manager.verifyReceipt(receiptResult: updateResult) if let transaction { await transaction.finish() if transaction.revocationDate == nil { let receipt = YCStoreKitV2Manager.createStoreKitReceiptModel( transation: transaction, jwsString: updateResult.jwsRepresentation, payConfig: self.payConfig, isRenew: false ) self.callProgressChanged(.receiptPrepared, receiptModel: receipt, errorType: .none, error: nil) } } } } } Our Questions: 1. Is it possible for Transaction.unfinished or Transaction.updates to return transactions that have already been finished? Specifically, if a transaction was successfully finished in a previous app launch, could it still be returned again during the next launch? 2. Are there any flaws in our current handling process? Our current sequence is: finish() → construct model → local save → report to server → delete after verification. Could this order lead to timing issues where StoreKit considers a transaction unfinished? 3. If we need your assistance in investigating specific user transaction records or logs, what key information should we provide? We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to your response to help us further optimize our transaction processing logic.

Does SubscriptionStoreView .storeButton(for:.policies) work?
I've added .storeButton(.visible, for:.policies) to my SubscriptionStoreView, and the buttons do appear, but when I tap on them I get a sheet that just says "Terms of Service Unavailable / Somethng went wrong. Try Again.". (similar for Privacy Policy). Is this expected in development? Will these start working correctly in production? (and, more importantly, in App Review?) The docs say that these use the values (i.e. URLs) set in App Store Connect, but that I can override those. This is a new app. Is that wrong, do I need to set the URLs explicitly? Edited to add: the console reports: Failed to fetch terms of service and privacy policy: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "(null)"

Unknown Error when Trying to Add New Offer Codes
Hi there! Whenever I try to add a new Offer Code for my app's subscription, I get an unknown error. When I get to the last step of the "Create Offer for Codes" flow, I get an error that error reads "An error has occurred. Try again later." I have been getting this same error for over a week now, so any help figuring out how to add new offer codes would be greatly appreciated!

Unable to load a subscription product in the app
Hi, I am building a new app in the App Store - the app is not live yet. I have setup an annual subscription product in AppStore Connect. Our problem is that we are unable to retrieve the product from our app - we've made sure that there are no missing metadata (e.g. price, availability). Has anyone encountered before? Appreciate any help provided. Thanks
