getAvailablePurchases missing subscriptions

[jslok]

Is there any reason why getAvailablePurchases would be returning no results even if a user has an active but non renewing subscription?

I was not able to reproduce the issue on a test account but a user reported this issue.

Non-renewing subscriptions become inactive in StoreKit 2 after expiration, even if still within the subscription period. By default, getAvailablePurchases() uses onlyIncludeActiveItemsIOS: true which filters these out.

Solutions

1. Include inactive items (Recommended)

const purchases = await getAvailablePurchases({
  ios: {
    onlyIncludeActiveItemsIOS: false,
  },
});

// Manually check expiration
const active = purchases.filter(p =>
  !p.expirationDateIOS || Date.now() < p.expirationDateIOS
);

2. Query specific product

import {latestTransactionIOS} from 'react-native-iap';

const transaction = await latestTransactionIOS('your_subscription_id');
if (transaction?.expirationDateIOS) {
  const isActive = Date.now() < transaction.expirationDateIOS;
}

3. Check current entitlement

import {currentEntitlementIOS} from 'react-native-iap';

const entitlement = await currentEntitlementIOS('your_subscription_id');

Why test accounts work differently

Sandbox environments handle non-renewing subscription expiration differently than production, causing inconsistent behavior.

Next Steps

Please confirm:

1. Is the product configured as "Non-Renewing Subscription" in App Store Connect?
2. Does onlyIncludeActiveItemsIOS: false return the subscription?
3. Does latestTransactionIOS() return the transaction?
