StoreKit 2 introduces several new features and improvements for handling in-app purchases. Here are some key points:

  1. Core API Enhancements:

    • StoreKit 2 uses modern language features like the Swift Async/Await pattern to perform tasks such as fetching product metadata, purchasing, and retrieving customer transaction history.
    • The transaction history APIs now include finished transactions for consumables, starting from iOS 18.
    • The original API for in-app purchases is deprecated starting with iOS 18, and developers are encouraged to update their apps to use StoreKit 2 for better performance and new features.

  2. Merchandising Using SwiftUI:

    • StoreKit 2 provides tools to easily merchandise in-app purchases, including new features for the subscription store view.
    • Developers can create custom control styles for subscription stores, using the same primitives that StoreKit uses to create standard styles.

  3. Testing in Xcode:

    • StoreKit testing in Xcode has been enhanced to make testing in-app purchase flows easier. Developers can now test privacy policies and license agreements locally using the StoreKit configuration in Xcode 16.

  4. Updates to Offers:

    • New view modifiers like subscriptionPromotionalOffer allow developers to show promotional offers in the UI of a subscription store view.
    • The StoreKit Message API can be used to show win-back offers to customers, providing options to build great merchandising UI and display subscription details along with any offers.
