The biggest API update mentioned in the context is the deprecation of the original API for in-app purchases, including the unified receipt, starting with iOS 18 and aligned OS releases.

This update is discussed in the session What’s new in StoreKit and In-App Purchase.
Additionally, there is a significant update to the App Store server APIs for in-app purchases, with the release of version two of the transaction history endpoint.
