iOS Question [Solved] How to cancel autorenewable subscription from inside app?

[fredo]

The B4i Store Library makes it easy to perform standard purchase actions.
But it seems to lack a direct "unsubscribe" or "cancel" feature.

While it's easy to initiate purchases, I'm struggling to find a way to programmatically cancel subscriptions.

The library seems to lack a direct "unsubscribe" or "cancel" feature.

Searching for a solution one finds this post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/682245, recommending this solution: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/appstore/3803198-showmanagesubscriptions .

With these tips, there should be a way to cancel a subscription from In-App.
But due to lack of deeper insight into the implementation, I can't make this work.

Does anyone have a working solution ?

Try this:

Dim url As String = "itms-apps://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions"
If Main.App.CanOpenURL(url) Then
    Main.App.OpenURL(url)
End If

... "itms-apps://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions" ...

This is a great solution that is easy to integrate.

Since the user is directed to the overview with the Apple subscriptions, the look and feel is optimal for the user.

I can't find the policy right now, but I'm pretty sure there's a requirement from Apple that if you have a subscription in an app you must provide a link to the subscription details in the user's account - so you should have the link that Erel provided in there anyway.

I've had iOS apps rejected at review in the past for not having it.

... requirement from Apple...

Thanks for the tip. I will add the information to the app.
