A UPP, or Unified Purchase Process, is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context. However, based on the context provided, it seems related to the updates and improvements in StoreKit and In-App Purchase.
In the session titled "What’s new in StoreKit and In-App Purchase" from WWDC 2024, there are significant updates to the in-app purchase APIs. The original API for in-app purchases is deprecated starting with iOS 18 and aligned OS releases. Developers are encouraged to transition to StoreKit 2, which offers many improvements over the original StoreKit API. These improvements include:
- Always available customer transaction history and subscription renewal info.
- Automatic cryptographic validation performed by the framework.
- Utilization of modern language features like the Swift Async/Await pattern for tasks such as fetching product metadata, purchasing, and retrieving customer transaction history.
For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in StoreKit and In-App Purchase (21:06).
If you have any specific questions about the Unified Purchase Process or need more detailed information, please let me know!
