Unable to retrieve data from In App Purchase
I want to add in-app purchasing to my app, but I can't figure out what part of my workflow is wrong. I created a product for my app in iTunes Connect (the product ID is com.mycompany.products.***) and it's in "Ready to submit" status. I created a sandbox test user for this app. I connected to iTunes on a real device using the sandbox AppleID. I went back to XCode and added in-app purchasing to my app. I turned on developer mode on the real device and logged in as the sandbox user. I built the app and ran it on a real device (not the simulator). I tried to get product information (com.mycompany.products.***) but nothing was returned. In-app purchasing is registered in App Store Connect and the status is "Ready to submit". The code only retrieves product information in a simple way, so I don't think there's a problem. inAppPurchase.getProducts(["com.mycompany.products.***"]).then(console.log).catch(console.error); But it only returns an empty array. What could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Unresolved pending purchases for consumables
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.

iOS26.4,appStoreReceiptURL获取票据延迟
iOS 26.4系统上,我们发现三个问题: 1.调用了finishTransaction接口,但是在App重新启动后,[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue].transactions仍然会有这笔订单。 2.支付完成后,[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]],拿到的票据解析出来里面的商品是空的,需要延迟2秒钟左右在调用[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]]才能获取有效票据。 3.支付完成后,如果用户没有点击最后弹出的确认弹框,等待5秒钟,系统会自己回调 - (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions; 代理方法。正常应该是用户点击了最后弹出的确认弹框,在回调- (void)paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray<SKPaymentTransaction *> *)transactions;方法。 我们在苹果开发者论坛上面找到其他开发者反馈的类似问题,链接如下: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/817700 https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/792437?answerId=849557022#849557022 https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/817834 https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/817706 https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/818586 我们有大量用户升级到了26.4系统,这对于我们造成了巨大的困扰,我们需要你们的帮助,感谢!

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)"

In-App Purchases not loading in production / TestFlight — Previously missing Paid Apps Agreement — App rejected under Guideline 3.1.2
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.

AppStoreServerNotificationV2 EXPIRED event after removing from sale
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.

Product ID conflict for IAP across staging/production apps
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.

User charged, but .userCancelled returned
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.

AppTransaction.shared doesn’t return originalAppVersion for users who installed the app in 2017
Hi, I'm using the AppTransaction.shared API to retrieve the originalAppVersion, but I'm encountering issues for users who originally installed the app in 2017. Specifically, the property doesn't seem to return the expected value (or returns nil) for these older accounts. I have verified this issue using a real App Store purchase from 2017. Steps to Reproduce: Use a test account that originally downloaded the app in 2017. Call: let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared print(shared.originalAppVersion) Observe that originalAppVersion is missing or not returned correctly. Any insights on whether this is expected behavior for very old App Store purchases, or if there is a workaround to reliably detect the original app version? Thanks in advance!

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
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.

StoreKit 2 - Is it necessary to finish unverified transactions?
The sample code provided in https://aninterestingwebsite.com/wwdc21/10114 doesn't appear to call finish() on unverified transactions, and I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding what to do with unfinished transactions. However, Apple has always emphasized the importance of finishing transactions, and since a transaction object is provided even with the unverified state, I'd love some guidance!

Apple Media Services T&C pop-up
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.

Mismatch between App Store Server API `expiresDate` (July 23) and iOS UI “Expires on” date (July 22) for 1-month subscription
Hi everyone, I’m seeing a consistent one-day discrepancy between the expiresDate returned by the App Store Server API and the “Expires on” date shown in the iOS Settings / App Store subscription list. I’d like to confirm whether this behavior is expected or if I’m misunderstanding the way Apple rounds dates. Reproduction steps Step Action Result 1 Purchase a 1-month auto-renewable subscription on 23 June 2025 14:00 JST (UTC+9) Transaction succeeds 2 Immediately fetch the transaction with GET /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{transactionId} Response contains "expiresDate": "2025-07-23T05:00:00Z" (= 23 July 2025 14:00 JST) 3 On the same device open Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions (or App Store › Account › Subscriptions) UI shows Expires on: 22 July 2025 The same happens for every monthly renewal and on multiple devices. Region is Japan, device time zone Asia/Tokyo. What I understand so far (and my hypothesis) Apple’s docs say a monthly subscription renews “on the same calendar date” of the next month, so renewal in this example is 23 July. If the renewal is scheduled for 23 July at 14:00 JST, the subscription is fully usable until the end of 22 July in calendar terms, because the new billing period starts the moment the 23rd begins in Apple’s canonical time zone. Therefore, it might be intentional for the UI to display 22 July—i.e., “you can keep using it through the 22nd; on the 23rd it renews.” This hypothesis makes sense internally, yet it still looks confusing to end users who read “Expires on 22 July” and assume access ends at 00:00 on the 22nd, a whole day earlier than in reality. Questions Is showing the day before the renewal date the official/expected behavior? If so, could Apple clarify that the “Expires on” label represents the last full calendar day rather than the exact expiry timestamp? Which value should we surface in-app when telling users “Your subscription is valid until …”? The server’s expiresDate (precise to the second, converted to user time zone), or A UI-style date that’s one day earlier, matching Settings / App Store? Does Apple have a public document describing this rounding/visual convention? Have other developers encountered user confusion about the apparent 1-day “shortening” and, if so, how did you word your in-app messaging? Any insight from Apple engineers or fellow developers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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.

StoreKit2.Transaction.updates Returning Large Amounts of Historical Transactions, Causing Verification Traffic Surge
Over the past two days, we've observed an unusual spike in requests from some iOS users to our server endpoint responsible for verifying App Store purchase receipts. After sampling and analyzing the data, we found that the cause is related to the behavior of StoreKit2.Transaction.updates. Specifically, when listening for transaction updates, the system returns a large number of historical transactions — some dating back as far as one year. These callbacks are interpreted as "new" transactions, which in turn trigger repeated calls to Apple’s receipt verification servers, leading to an abnormal surge in traffic and putting pressure on our backend services. This behavior is ongoing and is something we've never encountered in our previous experience. It appears to be outside of expected behavior, and we suspect it may be due to some kind of abnormality or unintended usage scenario. We would appreciate guidance on the following: Is this a known behavior or issue with StoreKit2? Are there specific device states or conditions that could cause the system to emit historical transactions in bulk? Are there any recommended practices for mitigating or filtering such transaction floods? We have attached logs for reference. Any help identifying the root cause or suggestions for investigation would be greatly appreciated. 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317037", "purchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "c4f79de2-a027-4b34-b777-6851f83f7e64", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317270", "purchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001791317270", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "02f305d7-0b2d-4d55-b427-192e61b99024", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792218708", "purchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792218708", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.598 +0400 [INFO] [MKPaymentService:23]: [XLPay] listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "5ca85907-1ab6-4160-828e-8ab6d3574d6f", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219189", "purchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219189", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.599 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "04869b50-b181-4b69-b4ff-025175e9cf14", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219440", "purchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219440", }

In-App Purchases not loading in production / TestFlight — Previously missing Paid Apps Agreement — App rejected under Guideline 3.1.2
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.

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.

AppTransaction.shared doesn’t return originalAppVersion for users who installed the app in 2017
Hi, I'm using the AppTransaction.shared API to retrieve the originalAppVersion, but I'm encountering issues for users who originally installed the app in 2017. Specifically, the property doesn't seem to return the expected value (or returns nil) for these older accounts. I have verified this issue using a real App Store purchase from 2017. Steps to Reproduce: Use a test account that originally downloaded the app in 2017. Call: let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared print(shared.originalAppVersion) Observe that originalAppVersion is missing or not returned correctly. Any insights on whether this is expected behavior for very old App Store purchases, or if there is a workaround to reliably detect the original app version? Thanks in advance!

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
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.

StoreKit 2 - Is it necessary to finish unverified transactions?
The sample code provided in https://aninterestingwebsite.com/wwdc21/10114 doesn't appear to call finish() on unverified transactions, and I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding what to do with unfinished transactions. However, Apple has always emphasized the importance of finishing transactions, and since a transaction object is provided even with the unverified state, I'd love some guidance!

Apple Media Services T&C pop-up
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.

verifyReceipt ETIMEDOUT sandbox
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?

Mismatch between App Store Server API `expiresDate` (July 23) and iOS UI “Expires on” date (July 22) for 1-month subscription
Hi everyone, I’m seeing a consistent one-day discrepancy between the expiresDate returned by the App Store Server API and the “Expires on” date shown in the iOS Settings / App Store subscription list. I’d like to confirm whether this behavior is expected or if I’m misunderstanding the way Apple rounds dates. Reproduction steps Step Action Result 1 Purchase a 1-month auto-renewable subscription on 23 June 2025 14:00 JST (UTC+9) Transaction succeeds 2 Immediately fetch the transaction with GET /inApps/v1/subscriptions/{transactionId} Response contains "expiresDate": "2025-07-23T05:00:00Z" (= 23 July 2025 14:00 JST) 3 On the same device open Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions (or App Store › Account › Subscriptions) UI shows Expires on: 22 July 2025 The same happens for every monthly renewal and on multiple devices. Region is Japan, device time zone Asia/Tokyo. What I understand so far (and my hypothesis) Apple’s docs say a monthly subscription renews “on the same calendar date” of the next month, so renewal in this example is 23 July. If the renewal is scheduled for 23 July at 14:00 JST, the subscription is fully usable until the end of 22 July in calendar terms, because the new billing period starts the moment the 23rd begins in Apple’s canonical time zone. Therefore, it might be intentional for the UI to display 22 July—i.e., “you can keep using it through the 22nd; on the 23rd it renews.” This hypothesis makes sense internally, yet it still looks confusing to end users who read “Expires on 22 July” and assume access ends at 00:00 on the 22nd, a whole day earlier than in reality. Questions Is showing the day before the renewal date the official/expected behavior? If so, could Apple clarify that the “Expires on” label represents the last full calendar day rather than the exact expiry timestamp? Which value should we surface in-app when telling users “Your subscription is valid until …”? The server’s expiresDate (precise to the second, converted to user time zone), or A UI-style date that’s one day earlier, matching Settings / App Store? Does Apple have a public document describing this rounding/visual convention? Have other developers encountered user confusion about the apparent 1-day “shortening” and, if so, how did you word your in-app messaging? Any insight from Apple engineers or fellow developers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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.

StoreKit2.Transaction.updates Returning Large Amounts of Historical Transactions, Causing Verification Traffic Surge
Over the past two days, we've observed an unusual spike in requests from some iOS users to our server endpoint responsible for verifying App Store purchase receipts. After sampling and analyzing the data, we found that the cause is related to the behavior of StoreKit2.Transaction.updates. Specifically, when listening for transaction updates, the system returns a large number of historical transactions — some dating back as far as one year. These callbacks are interpreted as "new" transactions, which in turn trigger repeated calls to Apple’s receipt verification servers, leading to an abnormal surge in traffic and putting pressure on our backend services. This behavior is ongoing and is something we've never encountered in our previous experience. It appears to be outside of expected behavior, and we suspect it may be due to some kind of abnormality or unintended usage scenario. We would appreciate guidance on the following: Is this a known behavior or issue with StoreKit2? Are there specific device states or conditions that could cause the system to emit historical transactions in bulk? Are there any recommended practices for mitigating or filtering such transaction floods? We have attached logs for reference. Any help identifying the root cause or suggestions for investigation would be greatly appreciated. 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317037", "purchaseDate" : 1713445834000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "c4f79de2-a027-4b34-b777-6851f83f7e64", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001791317270", "purchaseDate" : 1713445849000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001791317270", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.594 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "02f305d7-0b2d-4d55-b427-192e61b99024", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792218708", "purchaseDate" : 1713511999000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792218708", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.598 +0400 [INFO] [MKPaymentService:23]: [XLPay] listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "5ca85907-1ab6-4160-828e-8ab6d3574d6f", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219189", "purchaseDate" : 1713512034000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219189", } 2025-07-24 12:39:58.599 +0400 listenForTransactions :{ "appTransactionId" : "704289572311513293", "deviceVerificationNonce" : "04869b50-b181-4b69-b4ff-025175e9cf14", "environment" : "Production", "inAppOwnershipType" : "PURCHASED", "originalPurchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "originalTransactionId" : "430001792219440", "purchaseDate" : 1713512049000, "quantity" : 1, "signedDate" : 1753346396278, "storefrontId" : "143481", "transactionId" : "430001792219440", }
