Does anyone know how to test failed IAP flows? There is documentation here:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/testing_in-app_purchases_with_sandbox/testing_failed_in-app_purchases_and_subscription_renewals

which starts with the instructions

Sign in to the App Store using a Sandbox Apple ID.
Go to Settings > App Store > Sandbox Account > Manage > Account Settings.
Disable the Allow Purchases & Renewals setting. This setting is enabled by default.

But there is no "Allow Purchases & Renewals" option (or any other option) in the Accounts settings

Yes, i did get this working eventually, the missing piece of the puzzle for me was the sandbox test account needed to have 2FA authentication setup. the flow for doing this was a bit weird and very non-obvious, IIRC it involved trying to sign into a production Apple service with the sandbox account, confirming the email addresa nd adding a phone number and then logging back into the sandbox service.

Hope this helps
