App Store Server APIs: A new version of the
get transaction historyendpoint has been released, which returns all transactions for a customer, regardless of product type or status. This update allows for new use cases, such as showing customers their full purchase history. The original version is now deprecated. Explore App Store server APIs for In-App Purchase. -
StoreKit and In-App Purchase: The original API for in-app purchases is deprecated starting with iOS 18. Developers are encouraged to update to StoreKit 2, which offers improvements like automatic cryptographic validation and modern language features such as Swift's async/await pattern. What’s new in StoreKit and In-App Purchase.

Swift Enhancements: The Vision framework has been updated to use async/await syntax, eliminating the need for completion handlers and reducing code complexity. Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework.
-
Weather API: New queries for changes and historical comparisons have been added, allowing apps to highlight significant weather changes and compare current weather to historical averages. Bring context to today’s weather.
These updates reflect Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance developer capabilities and improve user experiences across their platforms.
