Hello all! My application written with C++ and using StoreKit1. For now my application using bridge C++/Objective-CPP/Objective-C/Swift. Since StoreKit1 declared "deprecated" got a question of how to implement correctly StoreKit2 in C++ application, mostly everything about Renewable Subscriptions. StoreKit2 have no direct API in Objective-C, it's available only in Swift. Which is the way the best and correct way: -- for on-device writing C library and in it implement Swift? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 into library itself? -- for on-device somehow write kind of wrapper for Swift StoreKit 2 within translation of all of objects in Objective-C and implement it with C++/Objective-CPP bridge? In this case how to add correctly StoreKit2 in C++ project written with CMake? Here https://github.com/compnerd/swift-cmake-examples/tree/main the one of the examples of interoperability C++/Swift with CMake. But how to use exactly with StoreKit2? -- only using server side solution?

Trying to migrate to Swift 6. However getting this error when using SwiftUI StoreKit purchase environment. Sending main actor-isolated value of type 'PurchaseAction' with later accesses to nonisolated context risks causing data races @Environment(\.purchase) private var purchase let result = try await purchase(product)

When I trigger the 'you've already purchased this subscription' alert and go to "Manage" my subscriptions, I'm prompted for a password to: a Sandbox test account that belongs to a different app and I no longer have access to Key Details: I no longer have access to that Sandbox user, as I no longer work for that company. I have long-since removed my AppleID from all of those apps using the appropriate flow to remove myself from their development accounts. As such, I cannot delete these sandbox users myself. I have wicked psychological damage from working at that company, and cannot 'reach out to them' to have them delete the sandbox accounts. I'm taking damage every time I see this alert as it is. I'm NOT logged into my iPhone as a Sandbox tester, but with my AppleID proper. NO purchases/iTunes email separate from my AppleID. The prior AppStore Connect + App that it's asking me for credentials for did not offer subscriptions of any kind. We only use Purchases Sandbox. We DON'T use StoreKit. Questions: Why am I being asked for this when I cannot ever succeed at providing it? How do I work around this problem, so I can view and manage my test subscriptions? Screenshots: This alert: Leads to this alert, which is an email address that belongs to a sandbox account that was created for an entirely different application on an entirely different AppStore Connect account, that I no longer develop for. I want to make this 100% crystal clear that there is no association whatsoever with my current application and the sandbox user this alert is asking me to provide credentials for.

Hello We are developers of a long-running game series and now reports have started to come in that users who install any of our previous games from the Mac App Store on OS X Sequoia are shown a popup claiming "The exit(173) API is no longer available". It's actually a lie, the mechanism is still there, the receipt generation still works and the game still runs afterwards. But the popup is confusing to users therefore we need to update the code. Apparently the replacement for the old receipt generation mechanism is AppTransaction which does not exist for Objective C. We have attempted to use it using the Swift/ObjC interoperability and failed so far. The problem is that we need to call async methods in AppTransaction and all our attempts to make this work have failed so far. It seems as the actor/@MainActor concept is not supported by Swift/ObjC interoperability and without those concepts we don't know how to pass results from the async context to the callers from ObjC. The lack of usable information and code online regarding this topic is highly frustrating. Apple really needs to provide better support for developers if they want us to continue to support the Mac platform with high quality games and applications on the Mac App Store. We would appreciate if anyone can cook up a working sample code how to use AppTransaction in ObjC. Thanks in advance!

Some paid users are unable to use the paid features unlocked by purchasing our subscription plan. It seems that this is due to StoreKit 2's Transaction.currentEntitlements not working the way we would expect it to work. Are you also encountering this issue? Do you have any idea to improve this situation? At launch, our app checks if the user is subscribed to the plan, using Transaction.currentEntitlements. As a result, the currentEntitlements array was empty. Our app then fetches the products from StoreKit 2 using Product.products(for:). As a result, the Product.SubscriptionInfo.RenewalState value of the corresponding Product (product.subscription.status.first.state) is subscribed, which confirms that the user has indeed purchased our plan, but seems to contradict the absence of the corresponding transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements. Proactive in-app purchase restore and a restore purchase button calling the AppStore.sync() method are implemented, but using the button did not solve the issue.

Which scenario does SKErrorOverlayCancelled refer to specifically? If the user pulls up the payment and cancels it, does it return SKErrorPaymentCancelled or SKErrorOverlayCancelled?

I would like to know if it is possible to use the PIX payment option, a Brazilian payment method, for in-app purchases. Additionally, I would like to know if it is already possible to integrate other payment APIs such as MercadoPago, Iugu, etc.?

My app is planning to develop a subscription product, for this type of in-app purchase do I need call finish() to complete the transaction? And, does currentEntitlements() return the transaction after calling finish()?

Hello, I have an app where the users can connect their vehicles to an API and record trips and so on. Currently I have one subscription, where the user can add as many vehicles as he wants. But now I want (need) to change this to one vehicle per subscription. So if the user want to add two vehicles, he need to subscribe two times to the same product. How can I handle this? Thanks, Arangoool

I have an app that allows users to complete a video call and then bills them a per-minute charge for the length of the call. How can I automatically bill my app user using in-app purchase without prompting for approval? I'm using Stripe on the web to complete an automatic purchase with the user's stored credit card. How do I accomplish the same thing on the web while on Apple device (or within my app) without prompting them for approval? They've already given approval by completing the call. I am aware that I can create an in-app purchase product for the necessary "credits" but this will prompt them to complete the purchase which should instead be automatic. Thanks!

Hi I'm writing my first in-app purchase app, and I'm trying to do some testing with sandbox accounts. I wrote my subscription page use SwiftUI SubscriptionStoreView. And I read the documentation it says : The sandbox account appears in Settings > App Store after the first time you use the device to attempt a purchase in a development-signed app. But I have no idea how to make a sandbox purchasing. Every time I click the subscription button it just making a purchase in xcode environment. Did I missed anything? What can I do to make a sandbox pruchasing?

Since today, we are receiving reports from several customers on iPadOS17.x and iPadOS18 that their app runs in 'demo' mode. This can only happen if the purchase receipt is not found and this also shows in the log file they sent us. We can also reproduce it on an officially installed version of our app, but not when run from Xcode. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have 2 subscriptions, monthly and year first：DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF + DOWNGRADE： Customer downgrades a subscription within the same subscription group； The current subscribe is year；if i change to month；when the subscribe year was expire，Automatic renewal will change to month second：DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF+UPGRADE： Customer upgrades a subscription within the same subscription group. The current subscribe is month；if i change to year；I need to pay for the annual subscription immediately；and The subscription immediately switches to the annual third：DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF subtype is None Customer reverts to the previous subscription, effectively canceling their downgrade. what this mean?

Over 50 hours ago, we created an app update with 4 IAP:s. We use revenue cat for the payment features. All IAP:s are approved, and they were bundled into this version. Still, none of the IAP:s are working. They work as intended on TestFlight. All of them are approved. I have reached out with a case to apple developer support but have received no assistance. This is a really frustrating situation and there are no logs or any ability to understand what is going on.

Hello, I hope to find out more about how AppTransaction works on macOS, specifically about its internet connection requirements: if I use this to validate that the app is a legit purchase from the Mac App Store, I would not want it to have an always-on requirement just to validate. Does AppTransaction require the user to always be online for AppTransaction.shared ? When an app is downloaded from the Mac App Store, is the data needed for AppTransaction automatically embedded during that download, or is that data downloaded upon first launch of the app, therefore requiring an internet connection at launch time? Once the data/receipt has been downloaded by AppTransaction, is it cached until the app's next update, or is it cleared at some time during the version's life and needs to be re-downloaded, therefore requiring an internet connection at launch? Where is that receipt/data stored? Also, if you don't mind me sneaking in this non-related but sort of related question, in terms of receipt validation: Does macOS Sequoia's MAC address rotation feature affect receipt validation in any way when using IOKit? Thank you kindly, – Matthias

Hello, I have a customer who keeps getting an "app is damaged" error for a freshly downloaded app from the Mac App Store. The logs show the following lines: standard 12:58:40.390872+0200 storeuid Receipt Validation (at.EternalStorms.Yoink) Signature Check: PASS Bundle ID Check: PASS Bundle Version Check: PASS GUID Check: PASS Expiration Check: PASS standard 12:58:40.391649+0200 storelegacy StoreLegacy: Failed to perform in-line receipt renewal for application at path /Applications/Yoink.app : '(null)' The Mac in question is running macOS 12 Monterey - curiously, the customer has another Mac with that same system version and there it works just fine. What can be done to make this work again? Thank you, – Matthias

Hi, we had a case where one of our users wanted us to stop renewing his subscription in our app since he was unable to do it himself. Is there a way for us to stop the auto renewal? Kind regards Ondřej Leitmančík

Hello! Since October 2, we have observed a problem with the renewal of subscriptions. We have not changed anything, but the receipts no longer have the information whether a valid subscription exists after the subscription was actually automatically extended. The subscription status can then be queried correctly via verify Receipt. Has anything been changed to the receipts from Apple? PS: we know that StoreKit1 is deprecated and we should switch to StoreKit2 asap.

I work as QA and we develop mobile farm game. Inside our game we have shop where user can buy coins or special prem.coins. And interface shows price with Apple Tax. Also we have battle pass, and when user want to buy battle pass the price shows without Apple tax. Anybody knows what is wrong? Pass price inside game > 9.99$ Price when user want to buy it > 11.99

I have got from App Review Team this same feedback during several months: Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness We are unable to complete the review of your app because one or more of your in-app purchase products have not been submitted for review. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please be sure to take action and submit your in-app purchases and upload a new binary in App Store Connect so we can proceed with our review. I am unable to understand and implement what is meant by the feedback: … take action … What "action" to take? … submit your in-app purchases … How to "submit in-app purchases"? I know how to submit my app but how "submitting in-app purchases”? My app contains no separate in-app purchases but several pathways through the app. The app's code contains three flags that act as signposts on user’s way through the app (Basic, Standard, Premium). The signposts are not extra content and features distributed on the App Store. They are existing parts in the app from the very beginning. They are activated according to the model user chooses (Basic, Standard, Premium) and loads down from the App Store. I try to solve the problem since several months - without success. Links offer no solution. Links say what one can do but not how to do it. What is missing are a couple of lines of code I can adapt and integrate into my app's Objective-C code. Best regards gefa
