appstore-go

A Go client for the App Store Server API

The App Store Server API returns data signed using the JSON Web Signature (JWS) spec. This client implementation abstracts away JWS for a pleasant developer experience.

Quickstart

Requirements

• Bundle ID - see App Information under General group for the app detail page in App Store Connect.
• Team ID - see Developer Membership Details
• Get Apple public certificates from the Apple PKI webpage.
• Create and download a private key the Users and Access Keys page in App Store Connect.
• Use the Issuer ID and Key ID from that page as well. While there are two key types, App Store Connect API and In-App Purchase, only use the In-App Purchase key for this client since it does not support the App Store Connect API.

Configure client

// The private key should be in PEM format beginning with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- 
// and ending with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
keyData, keyErr := os.ReadFile("~/.secret/SubscriptionKey_ABC0DE1F23.p8")
if keyErr != nil {
    log.Fatalln("Could not read private key:", keyErr)
}
optCerts, certErr := appstore.WithAppleCerts(
    "~/public/AppleRootCA-G3.cer", // Root certificate
    "~/public/AppleWWDRCAG6.cer",  // Intermediate certificate
)
if certErr != nil {
    log.Fatalln("Could not load Apple certs:", certErr)
}
optClaimsKey, claimsErr := appstore.WithClaimsAndKey(
    "com.example.appname",                  // Bundle ID
    "5bf1bb6b-ddf0-417e-b12e-e9fadd5fc611", // Issuer ID
    "ABC0DE1F23",                           // Key ID
    "1234AB5678",                           // Team ID
    keyData,
)
if claimsErr != nil {
    log.Fatalln("Could not configure client:", claimsErr)
}
client, clientErr := appstore.NewClient(optCerts, optClaimsKey)
if clientErr != nil {
    log.Fatalln("Could not create JWT client:", clientErr)
}

Examples

Call API with optional parameters

startOpt := transaction.WithStartDate(time.Date(2023, time.March, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))
endOpt := transaction.WithEndDate(time.Date(2023, time.March, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))

resp, err := client.GetTransactionHistory(context.TODO(), "123456789012345", startOpt, endOpt)
if err != nil {
    log.Println("error", err)
}
log.Println(resp.Transactions[0])

Paginate

ctx := context.TODO()
originalTransactionID := "123456789012345"

resp, err := client.GetTransactionHistory(ctx, originalTransactionID)
if err != nil {
    log.Println("error", err)
}

for {
    for _, t := range resp.Transactions {
        log.Println(t)
    }
    if !resp.HasMore {
        break
    }
    nextOpt := transaction.WithNextToken(resp.Revision)
    resp, err = client.GetTransactionHistory(ctx, originalTransactionID, nextOpt)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("error", err)
    }
}

Testing

There aren't automated tests included in this repo because I haven't determined the proper way to do it, but I'm open to hearing how to remedy that.

I have tested the client using production data for these operations:

• Look Up Order ID
• Get All Subscription Statuses
• Get Transaction History
• Get Notification History
• Get Refund History
• Request a Test Notification (did not verify that a test notification came)
• Get Test Notification Status

I did not test these operations, although they client is able to communicate with the API service fine:

• Extend a Subscription Renewal Date
• Extend Subscription Renewal Dates for All Active Subscribers
• Get Status of Subscription Renewal Date Extensions

What’s next

1. Reuse JSON Web Token (JWT) until expired. This client generates a new JWT for each HTTP request sent, however according to this tip in the App Store Connect API docs: "You do not need to generate a new token for every API request. To get better performance from the App Store Connect API, reuse the same signed token for multiple requests until it expires."
2. Support App Store Server Notifications
3. Support App Store Connect API
