All of the purchases I see are INITIAL_PURCHASE and none of them are RENEWAL for a monthly subscription

Hi there,

I’m just starting out trying to implement and test an App Store auto-renewable subscription. I followed the setup guide and am using the iOS simulator to test. I was able to make a test purchase of a monthly product I have configured and I can see it in the sandbox with my anonymous user. I can see also subsequent purchases for the same user. The question I have is, all of the purchases are INITIAL_PURCHASE and none of them are RENEWAL. I was wondering if this was normal? From what I understand, the app store should do up to 6 renewals per day before you have to wait 8 hours to test again on the same sandbox user account? I can see currently 20 INITIAL_PURCHASE transactions in the Overview Dashbaord. 

In my code I just added this one:

Purchases.shared.purchase(package: package) { (transaction, customerInfo, error, userCancelled) in
    if let customerInfo = customerInfo {
        if customerInfo.entitlements[name]?.isActive == true {
            // code for unlocking goodies
        }
    }
}

And in my AppDelegate I added this one which seems to do nothing for now:

extension AppDelegate: PurchasesDelegate {
    func purchases(_ purchases: Purchases, receivedUpdated customerInfo: CustomerInfo) {
        // do something here...
    }
}

Also from my AppDelegate, this gets called from didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Purchases.shared.getCustomerInfo { (customerInfo, error) in
    if let customerInfo = customerInfo {
        if customerInfo.entitlements.all[name]?.isActive == false {
            // hide paid stuff logic
        }
    }
}

I have no idea if what I am seeing is the expected behaviour or if there is something wrong. Can anyone tell me why I haven’t seen any RENEWAL type transactions in the dashboard yet?

Cheers
