As a part of ongoing efforts to enhance safety and privateness on Apple platforms, the App Store receipt signing intermediate certificates is being up to date to use the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm. This certificates is used to signal App Store receipts, that are the proof of buy for apps and In-App Purchases.
This replace is being accomplished in a number of phases and a few present apps on the App Store could also be impacted by the subsequent replace, relying on how they confirm receipts.
Starting January 24, 2025, in case your app performs on-system receipt validation and doesn’t assist the SHA-256 algorithm, your app will fail to validate the receipt. If your app prevents clients from accessing the app or premium content material when receipt validation fails, your clients might lose entry to their content material.
If your app performs on-system receipt validation, replace your app to assist certificates that use the SHA-256 algorithm; alternatively, use the AppTransaction and Transaction APIs to confirm App Store transactions.
