Release a New in-app purchase Key on App Store Connect

In-app purchase keys in App Store Connect are crucial for authenticating and validating client-to-server or server-to-server requests related to in-app purchases, including App Store server APIs and promotional offers for auto-renewable subscriptions.

These keys enable secure communication between your app’s server or linked services and Apple’s servers, facilitating the validation of in-app purchases and management of subscription offers.

Here’s a quick guide to maximizing its benefits:

• Expiration: In-app purchase keys, like other API keys, do not expire, providing uninterrupted purchase management.
• Revocation: Keys can be revoked at any time, but once revoked, they’re permanently deactivated and require the creation of a new key for continued functionality.
• Limitations: A maximum of 50 active keys is allowed per account.
• Revoked Keys: Any revoked keys from the past 30 days appear under the Revoked section of the In-App Purchase page in App Store Connect.
