Endless loop in an in-app auto-renew subscription page, approved by Apple

I just launched an app, News-O-Matic, which is in-app purchase subscription based, auto-renew. Eventhough the app was given the green light by Apple today, our subscription page puts the user in an endless loop! Our app works perfeclty well in Sandbox mode and only reacts this way when live (it is the second time around and we had to re-submit because we thought the bug was part of the new update Apple pushed right before the holidays...).
If anyone out there has any clue as to what can be causing this loop, please reach out to me. Our developers are as puzzled as we are and we have a community of frustrated subscribers who want to use our app but cannot because of the bug.
Do you think it is on Apple's side or our side? Could it be a parameter in iTunes Connect that we disregarded? HELP!!
Thank you,
Lillian

Just because Apple approved your app doesn't mean there can't be bugs.
Think about it for a minute.
There are thousands of apps using the same technology as yours with no problems.
You have a nasty bug.
Good luck tracking it down.
(Sure it could be a bug on Apple's side but most likely it's something in your code).

  • Auto-Renewable subscription activation

    Hi, 
    I need to create a new app for iPad with a free download of the first issue of the magazine.
    When I will upload the second number (1 month later) I need to introduce the Auto-Renewable Subscriptions.
    Is it possible to do that without a new build and submission to Apple?
    Can I create an app with Auto-Renewable Subscription = no, publish to Apple and activate the subscription later?
    Does the "subscription" button disappear form the app when there are no active Auto-Renewable Subscription?
    Thanks,
    Marco

    You can control how the viewer will present the subscription. If you create a subscription viewer with a valid subscription productID and nothing exists to subscribe to, the subscription tile will not appear in the viewer.  Once you publish valid retail content a month later, the subscription tile will appear, and your customers will be able to subscribe.

  • HT4098 When I click on " view apple I'd" I do not have the auto-renewing subscription. Dose this mean I am not subscribed to any app?

    Hi, I downloaded the sun app I would like to cancel my subscription, when I click on " view apple I'd" I do not the the auto- renewing subscription link. Dose this mean I'm not subscribed to the sun app?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • How can i turn off an auto renewing subscription to Netflix ?

    How can i turn off an auto renewing subscription to Netflix ?

    Interesting turn of phrase.   Are you suggesting that Netflix has none standard terms and conditions that could activate penalties if the user casually unsubscribes.
    I am not familiar with their terms - I've never had a subscription with Netflix. Personally, I will always check the terms of any business I do business with and know how to cancel before committing to a contract.
    Edit: I just took the time to browse through their terms which appear rather straight up:
    https://signup.netflix.com/TermsOfUse
    From the OP's post, I also did not assume that their subscription was through an iTunes app as a direct subscription was/is available. I do not know if the terms might differ if going through iTunes (which would make sense if Netflix would be losing money by offering their service through iTunes?).

  • Can't find "account settings" in order to cancel a auto-renewal subscription.

    I want to cancel an auto-renewal subscription.  The email notice says I need to do this through the "account settings" in iTunes.  I have been on iTunes for over an hour and can't find an "account settings" link that gets me to where I need to be to cancel just this subscription.  I know this is stupidly easy but sincerely...where is account settings...

    If you are being billed through iTunes then you should be able to cancel it by logging into your account e.g. by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device, or the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Purchasing and managing auto-renewing subscriptions

  • After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available

    Hi, I have a problem with my app: After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available for download/reading.
    These are the steps I done:
    1. I selected one of the options for subscribe
    2. Gone through In App Purchase
    3. After going through the In App Purchase, app updates the library
    4. After updating the library, the latest issue, is not available for download. It still has "Buy" button
    The ios certificates seems ok (redone many times), same steps of other 3 apps I already done.
    The In-app purchase Product ID are the same in the iTunes Connect and in the app through Viewer Builder (latest version with v19 tools)
    In Adobe dashboard the shared secret are set properly, paywall disabled
    Somebody had the same problem and can help me? I don't know really what else I can do
    Thanks in advance

    Today in iTunes Connect create a new in-app and auto-renewable subscription with a new id, rebuild the app with v20 tools and the new in-app purchase ids, delete the free issue and the in-purchase issue in the adobe dashboard and upload from my original indesign files again (the free with date for pubblication yesterday the other with today date), tested all in the sandbox and... everything works fine, after the subscription purchase the button became "download". I was happy and I sent the new app to Apple again (fourth time) for the approval. After only few hours later Apple start the review (this was amazing because it usually takes at least 5 days). One hour later I receive the "reject" state again
    After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available for download/reading. Please see below for the steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. Launch app
    2. Tap Subscribe
    3. Select any of the options for subscribe, for example, 3-month subscription as shown in the screenshot 0496
    4. Go through In App Purchase
    5. After going through the In App Purchase, app updates the library
    6. After updating the library, the latest issue, in this case 327 - Maggio 2012, is not available for download. It still has "Buy" button as shown in the screenshot 0497
    Now the question is: why on my 2 ipads worked well but apple find again the same error?
    Where's the problem? I really need help from some Adobe experts, the "Gold support" don't really support me at all... I wrote a long email with all the details and the answer was one line and after my answer they disappeared ...
    In this case unpublish folio and change publication date manually from folio producer and then republish it.

    How do I turn off auto-renewing subscriptions on my iPod Touch 4th Generation. I have followed all the suggestions, but my device does not follow those prescribed steps. Can somone please help me. I'm not very computer savy.

    If you go to yur account setting what do you see? The app subscription says:
    • Auto-renew may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase and must be turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.
    If that does not exist, and since eHarmony was not helpful, contact iTunes
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    Tell them you contacted eHarmony

  • Can I have auto-renewable subscription and non-consumable In App Purchase in one app?

    Hi Everyone,
    My app is just live on the app store.  I used DPS Professional edition and I am able to create a Multifolio with itunes subscription app.  I set my subscription to 1 month and 1 year.  Now I want to publish some other issues for the nesstand to be free. 
    Will it be approved by apple if I add Non-Consumable In App Purchase and set the price to be free.
    I actually want my users to download free content, for old issues and purchase the lateest ones.
    What approach can I use for this?

    In-app purchase is only for retail issue.
    You can publish free folios from DPS dashboard, that will appear automatically in Live app.

  • HT4098 How do you turn off an auto renewing subscription that does not show up within your account?  I applied for BBC iPlayer but wish to cancel the subscription, I have followed advise above but my account does not have a subscription section within set

    I have two Apple ID's as I am currently in Italy and when I first set up  my Apple ID it acknowledged my current location.  However when I applied for BBCiplayer I had to set up a different ID with UK address.  I thought maybe I was looking at the wrong account so used the e-mail address to which the auto renew receipt had been sent and followed the "forgotten Apple ID" link which prompted me for a new password.  Set up new password but whenever I try and log into account I am not asked for password and ID it just automatically takes me there (so unable to switch accounts). 

    What do you mean 'not asked for password and ID it just automatically takes me there' ?
    If you are using your computer's iTunes then you can log out of an account via the Store > Sign Out menu option, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option
    Is that what you are doing ?
