I'm configuring an auto-renewable subscription for an app on iTunes connect, and on the duration configuration panel there are two mandatory "Duration" fields: a select box with the possible options, and a free text one, for which I can't find any information about.
What is the purpose of that second free text duration field?
Apparently seems to be a bug on iTunes Connect. The free text duration field will be converted into the product id.

I am starting to set up in App Purchases for my app. I need to create a Auto Renewable subscription. However when I go to App Store Connect / my app / In-App Purchases and click on create. The only options available in the type field are Consumable and Non Consumable.
Here is the screen shot:
I haven't been able to find any reason for this. There are no outstanding agreements to accept in the financials, taxes and payment screens.
If any one could let me know what I am missing here or doing incorrectly, I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks
You're using a wrong menu item. Instead of "In-App Purchases", go to "Subscriptions" to create an auto-renewable subscription.
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 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 in trouble, I made a test subscriptions group in iTunes connect, but now I cannot delete it. Is there any way to delete it?
You should be able to delete a Subscription Group, if there are no subscriptions in it.
If you have subscriptions within the Subscription Group, start by deleting the subscriptions first. You can find the Delete This Subscription text-button at the bottom of the subscription detail page.
When your Subscription Group is empty, a Delete This Subscription text-button would appear at the bottom of the Subscription Group's detail page. Clicking that should do the job. 👌🏽
This does not currently seem possible.
From this thread on the apple developer forums:
No, those are required in situ [on site] for historical reference and to help guard against duplicated/conflated references going forward.
Feel free to file a feature request via the bug reporter link, below right, if deleting them is something you'd like to see in the future.
Here's information from the App Store Connect Help Guide.

Apps in the Magazines and Newspaper category need at least one active auto-renewable subscription to be listed on the App Store. If your app is in the Magazines and Newspapers category and you wish to discontinue the only auto-renewable subscription in your app, you must switch to a different category and submit a new binary to App Store Connect. After that, you'll be able to remove the auto-renewable subscription from your app.
If you are unable to remove your subscription with the appropriate amount of lead time to provide the full amount of content through the duration of a customer’s subscription period, you should contact us.
If your app does not function without the discontinued auto-renewable subscription, remove your app from the App Store.
Go to Settings > USERNAME > iTunes & App Store.
Tap your Apple ID located on the top of the screen.
Tap View Apple ID. You will have to authenticate your Apple ID.
Tap Subscriptions to view a list
Tap the subscription that you want to cancel
It will display a blue check-mark once selected
below everything is a red cancel subscription tap it
I was following a tutorial on In App Purchase which also shows how to test by using the sandbox environment. As I've tried to add an In App Purchase to my Application the iTunes Connect prompted following hint:
You do not have a contract in place for the price tier you selected. To make your app available on the App Store, you must have an active Paid Applications Contract.
Am I still able to test In App Purchase?
For adding and testing InApp purchase in your application you have to agreed on apple contract for paid application and provide your contact info , bank info, and tax info. You have to login in itunesconnect.apple.com and click on contract, tax and banking.
After providing above info you can see Manage In App Purchase Button on itunes connect web site and you can add your product.
You need to create a Paid Applications contract in the Contracts, Tax, & Banking Information section of iTunes Connect. You will need a bunch of info about your bank, and it will take many days, possibly weeks, for them to hand process the request.
Yes. if don't do it, Product count will always return "0" in your code.
You have to fill Series of question for "Tax form"(Non-Us resident).
Then 'Set up Contact' Even if you are Individually making apps i.e Not a company.
Fill your own contact details in every field.
Paid App Status turned "Active" Within Half hour.
