I want to remove Auto-renewable subscription from App and don't support it in the next version. I made some research and find that I should set parameter "Cleared for Sale" to false in appstoreconnect, but it's not active. I cannot edit this. Any idea?
Admin Role is not enough unfortunately. Only the Account Holder can remove an auto-renewable subscription. You can read more about it here:

My application had updated subscription prices.
However, in the details of our app in the app store, you can still see all existing subscription prices.
The question is: How can I make visible only the prices we charge today?
----- edit -----
If I uncheck the "Cleared for Sale" as #PaulSchröder suggest.
When old subscribers complete their subscription time. Will they be able to automatically renew (old price) or will they be canceled (since this subscription no longer exists)?
You need to go to your subscription in App Store Connect and uncheck the "Cleared for Sale" checkbox (it is next to the Product-id). Unfortunately this can only do the Account Holder.
According to this post from PBK in Apples developer forum (third post), after unchecking the checkbox, it should open a dialog stating the following:
Your in-app purchase will be removed from sale on the App Store and discontinued as an auto-renewable subscription. Existing subscribers won’t be able to renew this subscription. To view the number of existing subscribers, go to Sales and Trends.
By selecting this checkbox and clicking Remove from Sale, you agree to provide the full amount of content to eligible subscribers through November 30, 2019. If you’re unable to do this, you allow Apple to refund the full amount or portion of the price paid by the user for that subscription.
So old subscribers will be affected in the way that their subscription won't re-new.
I'm try to create an app with auto renewable subscription. But there is no auto renew option in list.
Maybe I should make some preparations or it allowed only for specific categories?
The problem was a legal issue. Ask your team-agent or an iTunes User with de "Legal" role to check if all the in app purchase contact have been accepted.
It seems, that #Poles and #sivajee-battina are right - checked on another account with all bank info - auto renewable is available
I am working on a iOS app, Its first Version is "Ready For Sale". Now on the Second version, we want to use In-App Purchase. Now the App is in "Developer Rejected" state. When I am trying to create a new Product for In-App Purchase by going to "Features->In-App Purchase" and click the + button the Create Option is disabled. You can see the Disable create button the following image
Is there may anything wrong with my process. Please guide me what should I do to make it working :)
Thanks In Advance
This happens if you have not filled out the legal agreements for sales in iTunes Connect. Unfortunately, it is not well documented. You need to be logged into the account with the Legal permission in iTunes Connect. Then go to Agreements, Tax, and Banking. Then you need to create and fill out the Paid Applications contract which will include putting in your banking and tax info. Once you do that, the In App Purchase menu will have items in it.
In my Cocoa app, there is only auto-renewing subscription.
I check all the purchases when app starts and load the data only for purchased items.
I am also checking if there is any change(especially discontinuing the subscription) in the purchases every hour.(i.e I am not serializing user subscription in NSUserDefaults for security. They are always loaded from server when app starts)
Is it still necessary to put a Restore Purchases button in app ?
IMHO Restore button does not make any sense in app where you have only auto-renewing subscription.
Also is there any notification from apple when auto-renewable subscription ends ? Or what is the right way to check if the auto-renewing subscription has ended. Presently I am polling every hour for latest valid subscriptions.
You must need to provide a Restore Purchases option or functionality unless it will be reject by apple reviewer.
If you delete the app and again try to install this app then how to validate this user already having valid subscription.
Please check below what apple document says -
https://developer.apple.com/in-app-purchase/In-App-Purchase-Guidelines.pdf
When I used non-consumable in-app purchase product for testing after purchased it will give proper result that is You are already purchased but in Auto-renewable subscription it will always ask for purchase for the same user and for the same product. How to resolved it.
You can read apple's documentation to test Auto renewable subscriptions
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnectInAppPurchase_Guide/Chapters/TestingInAppPurchases.html
A Side Note: In the consumable case it is prohibited that you forward the user to the store if he/she already purchased the item. Unless, he/she reinstalled the app. or installed it on a different device that didn't used to purchase the item in the first place.
Auto-renewale here is your answer.
