Subscription Status Request Not Working.

I have an app that once the user launches the app it checks whether they have an active subscription purchased through in-app purchases to access bonus content. In the development environment it works correctly. However, in production, it does not. It says everyone is subscribed. No one has purchased a subscription yet because the response from Apple or my parsing of the response is making everyone have an active subscription. I thought the standard was to test to see if a user has a subscription because they can cancel it and return to the app. So I'm just checking to see if they have one on launch. Could this be because they may not have any data returned from the receipt server so therefore there is not "status" field? The parsing starts on line 63. Thanks in advance.
