App Store Receipts API POST /verifyReceipt endpoint removal

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to App Store Receipts APIShare

App Store Receipts API has deprecated the POST /verifyReceipt endpoint without announcing a shutdown date. Calls directed to this endpoint will eventually fail once it is removed. The change affects any integration relying on legacy receipt verification.


Calls it hits

  • POST /verifyReceipt

What to use instead of these calls

Use the App Store Server API, such as GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} or GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId}, and verify signed transactions, or validate receipts on your server following Validating receipts on the device. Moving off verifyReceipt requires more than changing an identifier, as it involves adopting an In-App Purchase key and signed JWS transactions instead of the shared secret.
