Testing in-app purchase not possible - weird prompt asking for parent's permission

Hello,

When I try to test a new non-renewing subscription in-app purchase I get a weird prompt from iOS:

"Ask Permission", "A request to buy ... will be sent to your parent or guardian"

(please see screenshot below)

I'm using sandbox testers that can be specified at  https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/testers

(all testers have a birth year specified at 1980 or older, so there should be now reason for Apple to consider it a child account)

I already tried to set up new and different sandbox testers with different App Store regions at https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/testers but nothing helps.

(Only a non-renewing subscription seems to be affected. I was able to complete other (non consumable) in-app purchases without any problems.)

I can't complete the purchase and can't finish my app as long as this problem exists. Does someone has a solution?

(nothing at all happens when I tap "ask")

Thank you so much!

Interesting, has this suddenly started when testing with this application?

This dialog can get initiated if you have this implemented, can you verify? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skmutablepayment/1620604-simulatesasktobuyinsandbox

if the above is not implemented, please reproduce and gather a sysdiagnose and attached to a ticket with the sandbox Apple ID. can file at FeedbackAssistant.Apple.com please respond with the FB# once filed
