The original StoreKit API for in-app purchases will be deprecated starting with iOS 18 and aligned OS releases. This includes the unified receipt. While existing apps using the original API will continue to function, the legacy API will not receive any enhancements or new features in future operating system releases. It is recommended to update your app to use StoreKit 2, which offers improvements such as customer transaction history, subscription renewal information, and modern language features like Swift's async/await pattern.
