I am unable to sign in to a Sandbox Apple Account, where this issue occurs only via Simulator. Under Settings > Developer, I tap "Sign In" under Sandbox Apple Account. I enter my account credentials, and after bringing me back to the Developer page, the Sign In button briefly appears as disabled, before being re-enabled, without signing in to the account. (The account credentials are also recognized as correct, as I will receive an alert popup if incorrect.) See screenshots below: After signing in, Sign In button appears disabled... ... then is re-enabled without actually signing in to the account. I have now tried setting up multiple sandbox accounts via App Store Connect with various permutations (no confirmation of Apple Account email, confirming Apple Account email, logging in to iCloud and accepting terms of service), running different device simulators, running simulators on different Mac computers... none of which yield a different result. By contrast, I can sign in to the Sandbox Apple Account without issue on a physical device. The problem occurs only via Simulator.

We’re testing SKAN postbacks via AdAttributionKit but aren’t receiving any requests on our server even after generating development impressions and triggering a postback. Setup: Domain: https://linkrunner-skan.com Configured in Info.plist as: <key>NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint</key> <string>https://linkrunner-skan.com</string> <key>AttributionCopyEndpoint</key> <string>https://linkrunner-skan.com</string> Apple automatically appends the .well-known paths: /.well-known/private-click-measurement/report-attribution/ /.well-known/skadnetwork/report-attribution/ ATS diagnostics for the domain: PASS for all tests (TLS 1.0–1.3, PFS disabled, arbitrary loads allowed, etc.) Both .well-known paths are publicly accessible and return 200 OK Testing Flow: Enabled Developer → AdAttributionKit Developer Mode on iOS (15+) Followed Apple’s official guide: Testing AdAttributionKit with Developer Mode Generated test impression using: createAdAttributionKitDevelopmentImpression implemented in SKANManager.swift Called Postback.updateConversionValue with lockPostback: true Created Development Postback from Developer Settings Waited 30+ minutes while intercepting server requests (proxy + backend logs) What We’ve Tried So Far: Confirmed ATS compliance with nscurl --ats-diagnostics (all PASS) Verified .well-known paths are accessible publicly without redirects Tested endpoints manually with a POST request – server responds 200 OK Confirmed Info.plist entries exactly match Apple’s required keys Double-checked iOS device is running iOS 15+ with Developer Mode enabled Repeated test flow multiple times with fresh impressions and postbacks Waited up to 1 hour for postback (in case of delays) Issue: No POST requests are being received from Apple to either .well-known endpoint, even though the setup appears correct and ATS tests pass. References Used: Configuring an Advertised App Generating JWS Impressions Question: Has anyone faced a similar issue where AdAttributionKit Development Postbacks are not firing despite correct Info.plist setup, ATS compliance, and reachable .well-known endpoints? Any insight into possible missing configuration steps or testing nuances would be greatly appreciated.

I’m seeing an issue with subscriptions in TestFlight builds on iOS 26. Running from Xcode works as expected, and the App Store build looks fine. But when I install the same build via TestFlight, transaction.subscriptionStatus is nil. The identical binary behaves correctly on an iOS 18 device. Is this expected behavior on iOS 26 TestFlight, or am I missing something? Thanks!

I’m experiencing an issue with subscriptions that behave differently between Xcode builds and TestFlight. Subscriptions work correctly when running the app directly from Xcode in a sandbox environment, but they do not work as expected when testing the same build through TestFlight. Has anyone experienced a similar issue with subscriptions working in Xcode but failing in TestFlight? Any guidance on what to check or debug would be appreciated. Additional details: iOS version: [ IOS 26] StoreKit version: [ StoreKit 2] TestFlight: When attempting to load the subscription products, the app returns “Product not found”. In some cases, it also shows the error “The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront”. This happens consistently in TestFlight, even though the same products load and work correctly when running the app from Xcode in the sandbox environment. Thanks

Hello, Is anyone else seeing Purchase.PurchaseResult.UserCancelled, despite a successful transaction? I had a user notify me today that he: Attempted a purchase Entered payment credentials Was asked to opt in to email subscription notifications Opted In Was shown my app's "User Canceled Purchase" UI Attempted to repurchase Was alerted that he was "Already Subscribed" I have adjusted my code to check Transaction.currentEntitlements on receiving a .userCancelled result, to avoid this in the future. Is this logically sound? Here is my code - please let me know if you see any issues: func purchase(product: Product, userId: String) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let purchaseUUID = UUID() let options: Set<Product.PurchaseOption> = [.appAccountToken(purchaseUUID)] let result = try await product.purchase(options: options) switch result { case .success(let verification): guard case .verified(let tx) = verification else { throw PurchaseError.verificationFailed // Show Error UI } return try await processVerified(tx) case .userCancelled: for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let tx) = result, tx.productID == product.id, tx.revocationDate == nil { return try await processVerified(tx) } } throw PurchaseError.cancelled // Show User Cancelled UI case .pending: throw PurchaseError.pending // Show Pending UI @unknown default: throw PurchaseError.unknown // Show Error UI } } @MainActor func processVerified(_ transaction: StoreKit.Transaction) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let id = String(transaction.id) if await transactionCache.contains(id) { await transaction.finish() return transaction // Show Success UI } let (ok, error) = await notifyServer(transaction) guard ok else { throw error ?? PurchaseError.serverFailure(nil) // Show Error UI } await transaction.finish() await transactionCache.insert(id) return transaction // Show Success UI } The only place the "User Cancelled Purchase" UI is displayed on my app is after the one instance of "throw PurchaseError.cancelled" above. This happened in Production, but I have also seen userCancelled happen unexpectedly in Sandbox. Thank you for your time and help.

Hi everyone, I'm building an iOS app using Capacitor 6 with Swift Package Manager (SPM). I have a custom native plugin (AppleIAPPlugin) for StoreKit 2 In-App Purchases that lives in the App target (not as an SPM package). Despite compiling successfully, the JavaScript bridge throws: "AppleIAP" plugin is not implemented on ios Setup AppleIAPPlugin.swift: swift import Foundation import Capacitor import StoreKit @objc(AppleIAPPlugin) public class AppleIAPPlugin: CAPPlugin, CAPBridgedPlugin { public let identifier = "AppleIAPPlugin" public let jsName = "AppleIAP" public let pluginMethods: [CAPPluginMethod] = [ CAPPluginMethod(name: "getProducts", returnType: CAPPluginReturnPromise), CAPPluginMethod(name: "purchase", returnType: CAPPluginReturnPromise), CAPPluginMethod(name: "restorePurchases", returnType: CAPPluginReturnPromise), CAPPluginMethod(name: "getCurrentEntitlements", returnType: CAPPluginReturnPromise), CAPPluginMethod(name: "openManageSubscriptions", returnType: CAPPluginReturnPromise), ] @objc func getProducts(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { /* StoreKit 2 implementation */ } @objc func purchase(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { /* ... */ } // etc. } AppleIAPPlugin.m: objc #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #import <Capacitor/Capacitor.h> CAP_PLUGIN(AppleIAPPlugin, "AppleIAP", CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(getProducts, CAPPluginReturnPromise); CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(purchase, CAPPluginReturnPromise); CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(restorePurchases, CAPPluginReturnPromise); CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(getCurrentEntitlements, CAPPluginReturnPromise); CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(openManageSubscriptions, CAPPluginReturnPromise); ) MyBridgeViewController.swift (custom bridge to register the plugin): swift import UIKit import Capacitor class MyBridgeViewController: CAPBridgeViewController { override open func capacitorDidLoad() { bridge?.registerPluginType(AppleIAPPlugin.self) } } Main.storyboard points to MyBridgeViewController (module: App) instead of CAPBridgeViewController. TypeScript side: typescript import { registerPlugin } from "@capacitor/core"; export const AppleIAP = registerPlugin("AppleIAP"); What I've verified Both .swift and .m files are in the Xcode project's Compile Sources build phase nm on the compiled binary confirms OBJC_CLASS_$_AppleIAPPlugin symbol exists The build succeeds with zero errors Other SPM-based Capacitor plugins (Share, Media, NativeAudio) work fine — they have pluginMethods and jsName symbols in the binary; my custom plugin does NOT A bridging header (App-Bridging-Header.h) is configured with #import <Capacitor/Capacitor.h> What I've tried (all failed) .m file with CAP_PLUGIN macro only (no CAPBridgedPlugin in Swift) Added CAPBridgedPlugin protocol conformance to Swift class Created MyBridgeViewController subclass with registerPluginType() in capacitorDidLoad() Removed/added override public func load() method Added #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> to .m file Various bridging header configurations Multiple clean builds and derived data wipes Environment Xcode 16 Capacitor 6 (via SPM, binary xcframework) iOS 17+ deployment target Physical device testing (not simulator) Question How should a custom plugin in the App target be registered with Capacitor 6 when using SPM? The SPM-based plugins from node_modules get auto-discovered, but my custom plugin in the App target does not. Is there a step I'm missing to make registerPluginType() work, or should I structure my custom plugin as a local SPM package instead? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

after doing all the steps as in The app version submission must be in the “Prepare for Submission” state There must be at least one IAP/subscription in the “Ready to Submit” state All banking & agreements must set up and in place I am still not seeing the In-App purchase and subscription in my iOS App Version page to add to my newest version slash build

I’m working on a Flutter application that implements subscriptions using in-app purchases (IAP). I currently have two apps under the same developer account: One for staging One for production In App A (staging), I successfully created a monthly subscription with the product ID: rc_1299_monthly However, when I try to create a subscription with the same product ID (rc_1299_monthly) in App B (production), I encounter the following error: "The Product ID you entered is already being used by another subscription." My understanding was that product IDs are scoped per app, but this error suggests there may be account-level constraints. Has anyone encountered this before? Is it required to use unique product IDs across all apps under the same account, or is there a recommended approach for handling staging vs production setups? Any clarification or best practices would be appreciated.

Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = transaction_id found in receipt_data.latest_receipt_info The two values are different, but they differ only by 1. Additional observation The original_transaction_id for A and A' is identical, which suggests that both transaction IDs belong to the same subscription purchase chain. Pattern observation on the ID difference We have observed that the difference between A and A' is consistently exactly 1 (i.e., A' = A + 1) across multiple transactions, not just a single case. This appears to be a reproducible pattern rather than a coincidence. This observation raises an additional question (Question 6 below). API verification When calling: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Both A and A' return what appears to be the same purchase record. The response data is effectively identical except for the transactionId field. However, when calling: GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId} A does not appear in the transaction history only A' appears in the history response Questions If A does not appear in transaction history, where does this transaction ID originate from? Why does Get Transaction Info (/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}) return a valid response for A even though it is not present in the transaction history? Why do A and A' both resolve to what appears to be the same purchase? In this situation, which transaction ID should be treated as the canonical transaction ID for server-side validation? Is this difference related to how StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) and the App Store Server API represent transactions? Is the consistent off-by-one difference between the transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction and the one recorded in latest_receipt_info an intentional behavior of StoreKit 1's internal transaction ID assignment? Specifically, we are wondering whether StoreKit 1 applies some form of internal offset when delivering the transaction ID to the client, while the App Store server records a different (adjacent) ID in the receipt. If so, is this documented anywhere? Note We are currently in the process of migrating to StoreKit 2, but this behavior was observed while investigating our existing StoreKit 1 implementation. Any clarification would help us better understand the correct transaction model during the migration.

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: the user is charged the subscription exists in Apple ID but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, After updating to Xcode 16.4, my StoreKit configuration stopped working. Whenever I run the app with a .storekit file set as the active scheme, I immediately get this alert: “The file has been changed. Do you want to save your changes or revert to the file on disk?” No matter if I choose Save Anyway or Revert, StoreKit testing does not work - the purchases are not simulated, and the scheme is basically broken. This issue didn’t exist in Xcode 15.4 - the same StoreKit configuration file works fine there. What I tried so far: Clearing Derived Data - no effect Making sure no scripts/tools modify the .storekit file - still happens Restarting Xcode and macOS - no change Environment: Xcode 16.4 Happens in both Simulator and on device Reproducible 100% Has anyone else seen this in 16.4? Any known workarounds until Apple fixes it? Thanks!

The developer payment page is returning a 503 error, preventing me from making the payment. Why is this happening? I need to complete this payment urgently.

I enter the payment wall, there it takes more or less 3 to 4 minutes to show the plans, when I select the monthly plan the loader is shown and from there the pop up to make the purchase in sandbox does not appear, I have waited until a maximum of 50 minutes and it is not shown, I go back and close the app I do the same steps and I am still there, without showing the pop up. Doing this same process in xcode, everything happens immediately without any interruption.

I had published an App, and my app has App Clip supported. The issue I faced is that I had received complaints where the user keep seeing the pop up "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions Have Changed" when user clicked on the "Open" Button in the App Clip. What we had tried so far: Let user switch the Apple Id's region to our supported region. Let user try to log out and log in to Apple Id within the supported region.

Hello, My app was rejected on iPad (iPad Air 11-inch M3, iPadOS 26.2.1) with two related issues: Guideline 2.1 – Performance – App Completeness “The app exhibited one or more bugs that would negatively impact users. Bug description: the premium subscription cannot be loaded properly.” Guideline 3.1.2 – Business – Payments – Subscriptions “The submission did not include all the required information for apps offering auto-renewable subscriptions.” I am using StoreKit 2 with SubscriptionStoreView to present the auto-renewable subscription. During development: Subscriptions load correctly in the simulator (sandbox). On real devices, I test without a local StoreKit configuration file to fetch products from App Store Connect. The subscription UI (title, duration, price) displays correctly when products are returned. At the time of review, the Paid Apps Agreement was not active. I suspect this may have caused the subscription products to fail loading on the review device. Since then: Paid Apps Agreement is now Active. SubscriptionStoreView should automatically show required metadata. Because the subscription failed to load on iPad during review, the required information (title, price, duration) was not visible, which likely triggered the 3.1.2 rejection. Additionally, in TestFlight I sometimes see inconsistent behavior where the app appears but cannot be installed (“App Not Available”). Also, my app was rejected, but the subscription is still waiting for review. I would really appreciate guidance on the following: Am I potentially missing any required configuration that could prevent products from loading in production? Is there any propagation delay after activating the Paid Apps Agreement that could affect product availability? If I am overlooking something in configuration or testing, please let me know what I should specifically verify before resubmitting. Thank you very much for your help.

Our app is supposed to be removed from sale on May 31st. Subscriptions our app is offering will also be removed on May 1st one month before our app removal. I would like to know if AppStoreServerNotificationV2 EXPIRED event will be sent to a specified endpoint after the removal of these subscriptions. I think each subscription will be canceled automatically from May 1st to May 31st and it will send EXPIRED event to our server, but is it true? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I’m trying to understand which Apple subscription offer best fits a coupon-like flow in our app. Our ideal case is a 1-month Pro benefit that users can trigger inside the app: without entering a code manually possibly more than once over time then continue into a normal paid auto-renewable subscription Ideally, this would work for new, existing, and lapsed users, and if possible, even for users who are already actively subscribed (though that part is not required). From the docs, I understand that: Offer Codes require redemption Promotional Offers are for existing or previously subscribed users Introductory Offers are for new eligible users Win-Back Offers are for lapsed subscribers So my questions are: Is there any Apple-supported way to do this without manual code entry? Can the same user receive this kind of 1-month benefit multiple times over time? Which offer type is the closest fit? Is this use case partly incompatible with Apple’s subscription system? Thanks.

Since January 28, 2026, we’ve noticed an increase in StoreKit-related errors during purchase flows. Specifically, we’re seeing a spike in errors reported as “Unable to Complete Request”, categorized as unknown StoreKit errors. This correlates with a noticeable drop in the overall purchase success rate. A few observations: The issue is not limited to the latest app version, it also affects older versions. It appears to occur only on iOS 17+. The impact seems country-specific: some regions are affected more heavily, while others show no significant change compared to previous days. At the moment, there are no related incidents reported on Apple’s System Status page. Given these symptoms, this looks like a potential StoreKit / Apple API issue, but we haven’t found any official confirmation yet. Has anyone else observed similar StoreKit behavior recently on iOS 17+? Any insights or known issues would be greatly appreciated.

The majority of our sandbox calls to verifyReceipt end in an ETIMEDOUT error. This is making it very difficult to verify our purchase flow for our pending release. We have not yet migrated to StoreKit 2 and still rely on this API endpoint. The Apple API status page reports no issues. Is anyone else encountering this?

In our app we are running into a few issues with pending purchases staying on receipt indefinitely. These are consumable purchases where we received the purchase succeeded from apple but then something went wrong on our servers to validate and confirm the purchase. At this point the purchase stays on the apple receipt indefinitely or until we confirm it. The problem is there are lots of scenarios where we can't confirm purchases anymore (like a game world expired/banned player/etc). So there's a few things I'd like to know to see how this could be handle correctly. 1- Was the user already charged, and if yes would they ever be refunded if the purchase is not confirmed (some sort of expiry)? 2- Is there a way to cancel this sort of pending transaction directly from the app or backend? 3- If one of these users asked for a refund from apple would this clear the purchase from the receipt? Any information would be greatI couldn't find a lot of info on this topic.
