Is "Restore" button required for apps offering auto renewable subscriptions?

Hi,


I found https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/68868?q=Is%20%22Restore%22%20button%20required%20for%20apps%20*

but there is no "official final word" about if the restore button is required or not for auto renewable subscriptions for that specific case.


My case is exactly the same, subscription gets tied to an user account. If a user gets subscribed, he will be able to access the content via web as well, so if he logs in then the subscription will be restored as well.


Thanks!

You need a method of restoring the subscription to a new device purchased by the user who has a subscription. If your app requires that the user have a user account, and through that user account they can restore, then you do not need another means.

From Technical Note TN2387:

In-App Purchase Best Practices


"Provide a UI for restoring products

If your app sells non-consumable, auto-renewable subscription, or non-renewing subscription products, then you must provide a UI that allows them to be restored. See Differences Between Product Types and Restoring Purchased Products for more information."
