Help testing sandbox purchases in Xcode
I am attempting to test non-consumable sandbox purchases, however I am unable to select the "Approve Transaction" option after initiating a purchase. Leaving the transaction in a permanent pending state. I can view the transaction in the transaction manager by navigating to Debug -> Storekit -> Manage Transactions.. but the only available options to select are "Refund Transaction" or "Delete Transaction". What am I missing about Xcode or my environment that is preventing me from testing this purchase flow? Some more information about my set up. I have a .storekit file synced to AppStore Connect with my product Id. There's a StoreKitTestCertificate.cert saved in the project. I've tried running the build on my phone as Debug, Release and ReleaseForRunning all with the same behavior after making a purchase. My phone is logged into a sandbox test user apple account in the developer iOS settings

Consolidate subscriptions between apps
Because of historical reasons we have the same app with different bundle identifiers in different App Stores, e. g. one in Germany and one in Poland and one in France. Every app offers a monthly and a yearly in app subscription. We want to consolidate our apps and user base and want to have only one app in the end. The question is now: Can Apple make the monthly/daily subscriptions from e. g. the app in the store in Poland available or migrate them to the german app in the german App Store when we make the "german" app available also in Poland? The final goal would be that a user who bought a subscription in the polish store would have the subscription also available on his Apple ID in the german store. Is this possible? Can Apple make this possible?

"Error handling payment sheet request" with Backyard Bird sample application
After downloading Backyard Birds and following the steps in the section "Configure the sample code project" (i.e. enabling local StoreKit testing in the scheme). When I run the macOS app from within XCode, the following error occurs. Whenever I try to purchase any item from within the app, I am presented with the following error dialogue: "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application. Try your operation again. If that fails, quit and relaunch the application and try again." This happens after I click the purchase button (i.e. the button that displays the price). The Xcode logs show the following errors: Error handling payment sheet request: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service created from an endpoint was invalidated from this process."

StoreKit 2: Handle unfinished consumables
I have non-consumable and consumable in-app purchases in my app. The tutorial I was following stated Transaction.currentEntitlements includes unfinished consumables, which is incorrect according to the documentation. Is the correct way to handle unfinished consumables (and non-consumables) to implement Transaction.updates and call finish() if it’s verified? The documentation says that listener will receive unfinished transactions once upon app launch, so with that, do I understand correctly you do not need to implement Transaction.unfinished unless you want to look for unfinished transactions manually later on? Otherwise what is the correct and most recommended way to handle unfinished consumables? Is there a way to test that scenario in Xcode?

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
Currently, over the xcode environment to do the testing of product subscriptions through appstore are working correctly using the storeKit. When deployed in testflight to do the testing over the integration environment, the store response times are being excessively high, in excess of 20 minutes. This behavior is not replicated on Xcode, and is happening on recent versions uploaded to testflight, as earlier versions that were already tested and are currently in production. In addition the communication between the appstore webhook and the BE is also failing in this environment. It is being blocked to generate any test to be able to launch to production.

Subject: Advanced Commerce setup — one generic subscription vs per-product generics, and reporting identifiers
We’ve been approved for the Advanced Commerce API and are setting up the generic product identifiers per the guide: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/advancedcommerceapi/setting-up-your-project-for-advanced-commerce#Set-up-generic-product-identifiers We have multiple auto-renewable subscriptions (for simplicity: Product 1, Product 2, etc.). We created a new subscription group for Advanced Commerce and are about to add the subscription(s) inside that group. Should we create one auto-renewable subscription (generic, e.g. subscription.ac) to represent all of our subscriptions, or one generic per product family (e.g., product1.ac, product2.ac, …)? If the answer depends on whether subscribers can hold multiple products simultaneously, please advise which structure supports that (e.g., separate groups). Reporting identifiers / segmentation: In Sales and Trends and Payments & Financial Reports, which identifier(s) will appear after migration: the legacy StoreKit product_id, the new generic product id, and/or the SKU? If we use a single generic subscription for all products, what’s Apple’s recommended way to segment revenue by product (Product 1 vs. Product 2)? If SKUs don’t surface in these reports, should we prefer multiple generics/groups to preserve report-level segmentation?

Subscription Purchase product issue
Hello Developer support, In one of our live application we have seen that users are purchasing weekly subscription and automatically they shifted to yearly product. Due to this we have received high revenue and also refunds afterwards. To prevent this we removed our yearly product from the sale. In App Store Connect we have seen activations for weekly product and convert to standard prices are yearly products. Also we have seen weird behavior of user getting trial for same product for three times. For developer support people I am sharing my app id - 1320373866 , and here is the video of our issue - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DBHw8ivgql4eNoo8NC3xo5v4wgr8Oh7x/view?usp=sharing , Also attaching trial behavior screenshot.

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.

original transaction id not found
Hi everyone, I’ve been receiving App Store Server Notifications (webhooks) normally for a specific transaction. Everything was working fine — I could use the original_transaction_id to query transaction history, and transaction_id to look up specific transactions. However, starting recently, all API calls for that transaction (both Get Transaction Info and Get Transaction History) now return not found. • The webhooks used to arrive normally for this transaction. • I am sure I’m querying the correct environment (production vs sandbox). • The IDs I’m using are exactly the ones from the last webhook payload. • I haven’t changed my integration code. My questions: 1. Under what conditions does Apple’s API return “not found” for original_transaction_id that previously worked? 2. Can Apple actually purge transaction records (in production)? 3. Could this happen due to refunds, revocations, or other account actions? 4. Is this expected behavior, or should I file a DTS (Technical Support Incident)? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Support Request: App Store Server Notification Inaccuracies
Unsure if this has been reported before, but I'm seeing a specific scenario where Apple is sending back faulty information in App Store Server Notifications. When users have payment failures that result in the membership expiring, and then reactivate later on with a different subscription, they are given a new originalTransactionId, yet we have three cases where we receive messages about the old originalTransactionId, indicating that after the user recovers their subscription, Apple is resurrecting the old subscription and treating it as if it is active BUT ultimately decides to deactivate it. Here is a sample screenshot of an impacted user. We only have three month and annual plans. Timeline: March 21st: This user signed up for a 3 Month Plan June 21st: This user fails to pay July 7th: After our 16 day grace period, this user loses access July 29th: This user sees they lost access and repurchase Augsut 19th: Their membership is deactivated (long before their 3 Month Subscription is up) For further verification I've also attached a record of all the payloads we've received from Apple for this user. Please let me know if you need any more details to fix this bug OR if it has already been fixed! Thank you. user_webhook_data_sanitized.csv

In-App Purchase products suddenly not returned by queryProductDetails
Hi, We're currently experiencing an issue with consumable In-App Purchases on our production iOS app. Until the end of May, everything was working as expected, but starting in early June, our app no longer receives any products when calling queryProductDetails() using Flutter’s in_app_purchase plugin (which utilizes StoreKit). Here’s what we’ve confirmed so far: The product IDs are correctly configured in App Store Connect, and all items are marked as “Approved.” No recent changes have been made to the bundle ID or the product IDs. The “Base Territory” setting was updated for each IAP item in early May. After that change, product retrieval and purchases were working normally through the end of May. This issue is happening on real devices in production, and multiple users are affected. The same functionality continues to work correctly on Android. All requested product IDs are being returned in the notFoundIDs list of the queryProductDetails() response. We're quite puzzled by this issue as no clear cause has been identified so far. Any thoughts on this issue would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Sandbox refund testing "Cannot connect" error
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.

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
