Just a day ago I was able to make a test purchase on my actual iphone with no problem, but suddenly I get this error and the purchase fails.
When I try to purchase again after the failed attempt, I get a dialog that says "You are currently subscribed to this subscription.
What could be the cause?

I have not changed the shared secret or the bundle Id.
Thanks in advance.

This is an Apple issue and we've filed a radar with them to get it fixed. Looks like only sandbox is affected.

I’ve been hitting this all day.  It only started today after I tested on my iPad instead of how I usually test on my iPhone.  I thought that screwed things up but I’m glad Yousef sent me an email to clear things up so I didn’t waste any more time trying to debug. Thanks Yousef!

This page for Apple server status shows an outage for App Store receipt verification since 8:50am.

Hi, I have the same issue. I hope only sandbox doesn't work .When do you think this problem will be fixed?

Same problem with Sandbox testing. 

“The receipt is not valid.”

Please update us when this issue is fixed.

Thank you.

Same problem with Sandbox testing. 

“The receipt is not valid.”

Please update us when this issue is fixed.

Thank you.

I also can not use “Grant an entitlement” feature in the RevenueCat customer profile when “Sandbox data” selected. It just doesn’t work.

I was just able to make a sandbox purchase from my app for the first time since Monday night.  The server status shows the outage as being resolved.

Hey @Chris-29, glad to hear it! I was also able to make a test purchase, seems things are functional again 🎉

Other reporting it as well here too, so I’ll close this thread to keep things in the same spot:
