Question summary

Is possible to verify a subscription without ask the user for Itunes Password? I need this to verify if the user contains a valid Subscription every time that he open the app.

What did you expect to happen

Verify subscription without as password every time.

What happened instead

Every time that I call for the below code, the app ask for user password. But I just want to know if he subscription still valid.

let appleValidator = AppleReceiptValidator(service: .production, sharedSecret: "secret-key")
SwiftyStoreKit.verifyReceipt(using: appleValidator, completion: completion)

I have the same issue. Would love to hear any suggestions.

same here ... i got rejection from apple for that

I would propose to add validation only after some item was purchased. This would be something like "if content unlocked then validate"

Do you still get password prompt when you verify the receipt locally? (Without a network call)

Something new about this thread? I have same problem.

[haroldogtf]

I solved my problem as follows: When the user becomes premium I add a flag and if this flag is active I do the verification. So if he cancels, I would know. But if it has a signature and is in the app (download on another device for example) it will have to inform you that it is already subscriber to restore.

Can this be achieved by sending the local receipt to Apple's validator? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/validating_receipts_with_the_app_store

From my understanding, you get back the latest subscription state from this API.
