I have successfully implemented the in app purchases for consumable products. And it is working great.
Now i'm getting "Can't connect to iTunes store" when i'm trying to confirm the auto- renewable subscription. Is there anything special that we should do for the subscriptions.
Checklist that i have already gone through and verified several times
Tax, agreements are all set
Localization is all set i believe
Price tier is set
Tried new sandbox user with multiple territories (UK & Pakistan). Store is pakistani right now.
Found the solution after a lot of hit and try. I was missing period of subscription on iTunes connect.
I am trying to add IAP in my iOS app through iTunes Connect (Admin access). Reference to screenshot attached, I am able to View Shared Secret but I am not getting Auto-Renewable Subscription listed under the IAP options available. I did check for all the agreements and all of them are updated. Am I missing something here? Will I be able to add Auto-Renew purchases only after my App goes live?
Sign in to your iTunes Connect account.
Click Agreements, Tax, and Banking.
Under Request Contracts, click Request for the iOS Paid Applications contract type.
After you review the agreement, check I have read and agree to the agreement presented above and click Submit.
Plus you should generate a secret key, at the InApp purchase section.
Why I didn't see Auto-Renewable Subscription in iTunes Connect -> In-App Purchases -> Select the In-App Purchase you want to create.
I see only Consumable, Non-Consumable, Non-Renewing Subscription
I have found answer:
When you want to sell something, but you haven't sold anything before.
You should open iTunes Connect -> Agreements, Tax, and Banking.
I think you have got Master Agreements -> Contracts In Effect -> only row with Contract Type: Free Applications
Apple doesn't give you access to functions for sell anything. Your App doesn't have access to products in iTunes Connect -> Your App -> Features -> In-App Purchase
Decision:
You have to sign new contract in iTunes Connect -> Agreements, Tax, and Banking -> Contract Type: Paid Applications and fill fields [Contact Info, Bank Info, Tax Info]
Note: You should have 'Legal' role as a user. Then you will see "Request" button. If a role is only 'Admin' (without Legal rights), you may see only "View" button, and you won't be able to sign a new contract.
After that: you'll see Auto-Renewable Subscription in Select the In-App Purchase you want to create.
Note: If you don’t see an option for Auto-Renewable Subscription, you probably need to complete some contracts for your account.
Press Cancel and select My Apps from the top-left part of the screen. Then pick Agreements, Tax, and Banking from the options.
Make sure all the contracts are complete, especially the Paid Applications contract.
When you’re done, the status may show as “Processing”. Even so, you should be able to return to the In-App Purchases page and create a new Auto-Renewable Subscription.
If you don't see the Auto-Renewable Subscription option, ensure your developer account has accepted all applicable contracts and have provided tax and banking information in the 'Agreements, Tax, and Banking' section of App Store Connect.
For those who are still struggling with renew subscription on apple website. Here are few things to consider which can help -
Renew can be done only through account holder's account
I found the renew option only on Apple developer app. Login to apple developer app and check under account section
If you get error while clicking on renew button then check if icloud is logged in on the device with same apple id
Hopefully this will solve the problem for those who are not getting this option on apple developer website.
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 have business models like user must have to select one plan with non consumable in app purchase at the time of registration.
But In case like, when my friends wants to use the app and he told me to register his account from my device and pay with my apple id. So I logged out my account and trying to register his account. then I can not purchase same Non Consumable In App Purchase. As Apple Id remains same.
Does anyone have idea of how to solve such instances.
Thanks,
