I'm currently working on incorporating in-app purchases into an iOS application. The primary offering will be auto-renewing-subscription based. My question concerns subscription management.
It is not possible (AFAIK) to manage AR subscriptions in the sandbox environment. Apple's documentation here on expiration and renewal and here on managing subscriptions indicate that the user may disable auto-renewal and then renew it at a later date. In the event of a disable action taken from the device AppStore, does the auto-renew option remain available in perpetuity -- e.g., in the IAP programming guide example there is a lapse of about two months before the user renews. What about a year? I assume that since the record of the AR transaction persists indefinitely, so does the App Store capability to manage the subscription? I also assume that a caveat here would be that the product offering was still available in the store.
Anyone have any experience with this?
