How to test failed purchases in Swift and XCode
A two step guide on testing failed StoreKit product purchases for In-App Purchases and Subscriptions.
The guide was made using our Free iOS StoreKit 2 Open Source project which is recommended for developers or business folk wishing to learn about how In-App Purchases or Subscriptions work and the code behind them.
The following walkthrough assumes that you have already setup StoreKit with an offering and developed a UI that allows an app to display products and buy them.
Please consult the guides below to learn how to setup StoreKit, create a StoreKit offering, setup your app to be able to purchase StoreKit products or design a UI that considers all StoreKit scenarios.
Step One: Enable Fail Transactions
In XCode, setup your app to fail transactions with an error of choice.
Step Two: Make a purchase
Run the app and attempt to make a purchase.
Confirm that your code responds as expected to the failed transaction.
