Does App Store Connect send a notification to app users when the price of a non-consumable IAP changes?

Should the app itself push notifications to the user? If yes, how?

Constraint: The app connects only to the App Store server via StoreKit.

Scenario: Motivate users of a freemium app to unlock content after the expiry of a free trial.

Thanks.

Price changes are only communicated to subscribers of auto-renewing Subscriptions when it applies to their active subscription. Price changes for other IAP product types are not communicated to customer as they either already purchased them and are not impacted or the application itself can merchandise price changes, sales, etc.
