Today my office 365 E3 for developer get auto renewed. but it only extends one day, from 2019.9.17 to 2019.9.18
How often will the Office 365 developer renewable subscription get renewed? Some of my friends get renewed every 5-6 months but last time my subscription extended 2 months and this time only 1 day.
Is it a bug of Microsoft?
Hi thanks for your comment. This is not correct behavior and I'm sorry you experienced this. If you got this from the Office 365 Developer Program it should be renewed for 3 months. Not one day.

I would like to implement a referral feature in an app that would add days to the user's current active subscription. Is there a way to do that using Apple's auto-renewable subscriptions?
Example
A user has a 12-month subscription that will renew in 3 months for an additional 12 months
The user refers a friend to use the app
Expected result
The user has a 12-month subscription that will renew in 4 months for an additional 12 months
To sum up:
NO.

Extend a Subscription Renewal Date API:
Compensation up to 90 days twice a year.
The extension period doesn’t count toward the one year of paid service when the App Store calculates the developer’s commission rate.

I want to offer a pay-as-you-go introductory offer for a subscription in my iOS app. But it's not clear to me what the actual pricing is if the offer is on a subscription whose period is more than 1 unit (2 month, 3 month, 6 month, etc).
For example, say I have a subscription that costs $20 per renewal and renews every 6 months. I set up an intro offer of the "Pay as you go" type (SKProductDiscountPaymentModePayAsYouGo) whose duration is 12 months and price is $10. Is the user going to get charged $10/month for 12 months (renewing 12 times), or $10 per 6 months for 12 months (renewing twice)?
The documentation isn't all that clear on this. If I set this up with a local StoreKit test file and try it in a simulator, the system purchase sheet appears to actually display it wrong - it's definitely not a 2 month trial (filed as FB8998598). Here's the StoreKit file:
And here's the simulator display when you purchase it:
The App Store Connect UI actually answers this question. In my scenario, it will charge $10 every 6 months for 12 months, which means 2 charges.
We use auto-renewable subscriptions in our application and we set free trials as an introductory offer. But we haven't experienced what if the trial length changes yet.
If we change the free trial length of an existing subscription package, are the existing users notified via e-mail or notifications?
For example we are applying 7-days free trial for our subscription now, what if we change this period with 3-days? Will the subscribers in the trial period (let's say he is on the 5th day of free trial) be notified? In other words, will the existing subscribers in trial period continue with 7 days and new subscribers start with 3 days to trial period?
Is there anyone who has experienced this before?
Thanks for all replies in advance.
AppStore generate a receipt for every IAP separately so, subscription start date and end date are there. If someone registered for 7 days and 3 days has passed. when you changed trial period to 3 days it does not affect the previous trial period. They still use 7 day trial until the "their" trial period end.
I am making an app with auto renew in-app purchase. It is my first time with this api so I am bit confused about the auto renewal logics.
Would be grateful if you guys can help me with these 2 logics-
1) When a user buys a new subscription, does the expiry equal to the date or date/time.
For example - I buy a subscription for a month today at 2.00pm. Will it expire next month at 2.00pm or at midnight. Means it just renew the subscription by date or by the time you purchase it.
2) During Auto renewal, as mentioned in apple docs, apple starts trying to renew the subscription 24 hours before the expiry date. If the user somehow cancels auto renewal between these 24 hours will apple still renew his subscription or the cancellation will take affect immediately (assuming his subscription hasn't already been renewed).
please somebody answer it. Thanks a lot in advance.
I have a magazine app and want to implement auto-renewable subscriptions. There are 2 issues released every year. The first issue is released in april and the second issue a half year later in october.
If I implement a one-year subscription, how do I handle the subscription?
Here are my problems:
First: the user subscribed in August and is getting the april issue. Then in october the user is getting the october issue. In april next year the user has still a valid subscription but shouldn't get the april issue because his subscription ends in august. He only get the new april issue, if he renew the subscription.
My second problem is: I don't know if the user is renewing his subscription until august and can't deliver the new issue in april.
I hope you can understand the described problem and have some tips to put me in the right direction.
