In iOS 18, the original API for in-app purchases, including the unified receipt, has been deprecated. This means that while existing apps using this API will continue to function, they will not receive any enhancements or new features in future operating system releases. Developers are encouraged to update their apps to use StoreKit 2, which offers improvements such as access to customer transaction history, subscription renewal information, and modern language features like the Swift Async/Await pattern.
For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in StoreKit and In-App Purchase (21:06).
