For how long can a user resubscribe after their initial subscription has expired? I'm curious if we can expect to receive INTERACTIVE_RENEWAL notifications years after their initial subscription expired or is it only weeks, months, etc?

I am attempting to validate a receipt in the sandbox environment (https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt). The response looks successful and it is showing me the LatestReceiptInfo and any InApp transactions. The part that is confusing me is that I am able to do it with an invalid secret as well. I am even able to verify with a receipt that was generated from a very different app. It appears as if validation is ignoring the shared secret entirely.I would expect a status code of 21003 for the valid receipt that wasn't created by my app. I would also expect a 21004 for the invalid secret. In both cases I get a status code of 0 and the receipt is available.There is something that I am not understanding about how verification works. Is this expected behavior for the sandbox? Below is the response body that i am sending to verify.{ "receipt-data": "MyReceiptData", "password": "FakePassword", "exclude-old-transactions": true }

We have confirmed that INITIAL BUY and DID RENEW notifications are sending unified receipt but testing CANCEL, REFUND, and INTERACTIVE RENEWAL cannot be tested in sandbox or easily in production. Can we assume all IAP notifications are working as expected and sending unified receipts at this time?

We have a multi-platform app that we are trying to setup in-app purchases for. We are using an auto-renewing subscription.The setup is very similar to what is outlined in this article https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/offering_a_subscription_across_multiple_appsThe sign up flow goes like this.User purchases the subscription via in-app purchase.We verify the receipt.User's account is created with our custom services.User sets up credentials.At this point, the user has credentials and is logged into the app.We count on server-to-server notifications from Apple to manage the user's account status. So if the user gets a new phone or deletes the app, all they need to do is install the app and log in. Their credentials are valid until they cancel their account or their subscription expires. What is the point of restoring anything?
