If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve encountered an active issue related to Apple’s receipt verification.

RevenueCat relies upon Apple’s `verifyReceipt` endpoint which is currently facing an outage: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

This seems to be affecting sandbox and TestFlight purchases only at this time, although Apple’s status page doesn’t mention it explicitly.

Encountering this issue? Post below ⬇️ RevenueCat isn’t able to resolve this at this time from our end, but it may help bring awareness and ease to other developers facing the same issue.

Update 2/8/23 19:20 UTC:

Customers (and me 😃) reporting things are working as expected again - post below if you’re still having trouble, seems like a slow rollout of a fix from Apple.

Update 2/8/23 17:40 UTC:

Apple’s reporting the issue is fixed, but we’re still encountering errors. Will provide another update as soon as possible.

I spoke too soon

 

I forgot the Storekit testing framework. Once I added that and reset my simulator it worked!

Still encountring this issue. 

Its very hard to move forward without testing the In-App-Purchase functionality in my App. 

A lot of funcitonalities depends on what happens after the purchase is successful, and there is no way I will move to production without testing the whole flow of the purchase. 

 

Any one figured out a work-around this ?

I’m having this same problem.

App review won’t validate my app because they can’t make purchases in the sandbox environment.

Region: Australia

Platform: iOS SwiftUI with TestFlight

I copied the example code that had usesStoreKit2IfAvailable set to true. I changed it false, and I see the error much less, but I have to release the app again.

Hey Todd, could you point me to this code? I am constantly getting this receipt issue.
