Subscription Unavailable - Strange Behavior with StoreKit
I added my first subscription to my app using StoreKit's SubscriptionStoreView. Everything worked as expected in the debug environment and also in TestFlight. So I submitted my app and subscriptions to App Store Connect, got everything Approved and released. After updating my app through App Store and checking the Subscription View, it just says "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." I waited around 3 days and still getting the same message. Now the very strange behavior starts. I went to App Store Connect, I made and edit to the subscription description, saved, removed the edit, saved, and submitted to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions appear in my app and everything works as expected. After getting the edit approved, the Subscription View in my app again only showed the message "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." No user is able to see the subscriptions anymore, even though it worked as expected before the edit was approved. So I did the same as before. Again, make an edit to the subscription description, save, remove the edit, save, submit to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions are again available in my app and it works as expected. This is definitely not the expected behavior and submitting the subscription edits every day is wasting the App Review Team's time as well as mine. I contacted Apple Developer Support but I didn't get any reply back (at least yet). I am not the only one experiencing this. I found a friend online who has the exact same issue, and is able to temporarily solve it by making an edit to the subscription description as well. So far it has been a huge headache, and we are losing customers this way. Please if anyone has experience with this problem, or has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Tomas

iOS 18 strange SwiftData fatal error
Hey developers! I updated to Xcode 16 and iOS 18. I wanted to publish my first iOS 18 update but I keep getting a very strange error after building and launching the app: "Fatal error: This model instance was destroyed by calling ModelContext.reset and is no longer usable." (I haven't changed anything regarding swift data and I never call ModelContext.reset) This error happens only after building. When I close the app and open it again (without running it through Xcode) the app never crashes and all the data is still there. I couldn't find much bout this error online. Is anyone experiencing the same? I wonder if this is a bug in Xcode 16 or there is something wrong with my code. I also wonder if I can safely publish my update to App Store, since the error only happens after building. Thank you!
