Hi @dyang-fubo,

Could you please provide the relevant device logs (journalctl/syslog) that cover the timeframe when you encountered this issue?

Additionally, it would be helpful if you could share:

- The exact timestamp when the purchase failure occurred

- Any app-level logs showing the IAP transaction flow

This information will help our team diagnose why the purchase flow is completing successfully but returning a failure response with no receipt.

Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this.

Best regards,

Here are our app logs showing the IAP transaction flow.

```auto
 (NOBRIDGE) DEBUG 🐞 IAPManager: Purchasing AMAZON_UAT_2_KITCHEN_MANIA_TBCC_7J_1_99_TERMS

```

The exact timestamp after the failure is logged as : 1776158898148 (Tue Apr 14 2026 11:28:18 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)).

To add more info about the issue, I’m receiving an email confirmation from Amazon about the subscription, so it looks like the purchase is ok on Amazon Appstore DevTest… But I’m not getting a successful response status code or any receipt.

Hi @dyang-fubo,

Thank you for sharing the detailed app logs and timestamp information. I’ve passed these details on to our team for investigation.

Could you please provide the complete device logs (journalctl/syslog) that cover the timeframe around **04/14/2026 11:28:18 GMT+0200**? This will help us diagnose why the purchase is completing on Amazon Appstore DevTest but returning response code 4 with a null receipt.

Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this.

Hello @amen

I don’t have access to those logs anymore, but I reproduced the issue. Here are some fresh logs from the app and from the device.

Purchase initiated at timestamp 1776256742974 : ‘Wed Apr 15 2026 14:39:02 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)’

Hi @dyang-fubo,

Thanks for sharing the fresh logs. Our investigation confirms the subscription was successful on the server side - the issue appears to be on the client/SDK side, which is why the receipt is coming back as null.

The attached logs are incomplete and don’t include the full IAP process flow. Could you please share the **complete logs** in fresh terminal session covering the entire purchase journey?

Thanks for your patience.

Best regards,  
Aishwarya

Please let me know what you expect as “complete logs”.

I used `loggingctl log -f` and shared the logs before and after the IAP purchase.

Hi @dyang-fubo,

Thanks for the clarification. By “complete logs,” we mean logs captured from a fresh terminal session (not from an IDE terminal or iTerm) that cover the entire purchase journey from start to finish - including initialization, the purchase attempt, and the response.

Using `loggingctl log -f` is fine, but please make sure the session is started fresh before initiating the purchase so no log entries are missed.

Best regards,  
Aishwarya
