Link to app manage subscriptions in app store

ios app-store in-app-purchase newsstand-kit openurl

Solution 1

The new and official way (according to WWDC 2018 Session 705) is the following url: https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions

Link for doc: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/subscriptions_and_offers/handling_subscriptions_billing

Solution 2

Following this iTunes Connect guide, this URL works:

https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions

You can link directly to the Manage Subscriptions page in the App Store without having to write your own manage subscriptions page. To do so, link to this URL: https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions

However this will redirect to Safari before redirecting to App Store App. So the user will see app switching twice in their device. Changing https to itms or itms-apps does not seem to just work.

Btw, this only works on the device. It wouldn't work on the simulator.

Solution 3

As of Nov 2018, this is the best approach.

if let url = URL(string: "itms-apps://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions") {
    if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:])
    }
}

Solution 4

2018 on IOS its a combination of the answers above. This URL will open the App Store App with the correct view: itms-apps://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions

Solution 5

The above answers are possibly slightly out of date (including Apple's documentation grrr) as I am receiving a Safari error when trying to use the link:

// old way
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions

Using XCode 5.1 and iOS 7.x, I am able to correctly link to the "Manage Subscriptions" section for the app in question using the following openURL: call:

// new way
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions"]]

Currently with In app purchase the only way to cancel an auto-renewing subscription is to do the following with the device:

Settings > Store > View my account > Manage my subscription

Is it possible programmatically to link directly to the Manage my subscription page in the app store? I know I can open the app store via something like
```
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-apps://itunes.apple.com"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
```
I have seen other apps do this but I can't seem to figure out how.

where did you find this "itmss:" from? Just trial and error or is there an actual documentation for this?

Well, for what it's worth, I tried this today, it took me to the iTunes Store (not App Store), asked me for my password and worked. But When I went back to the app and execute it again, it's just giving me iTunes Store's home screen. I'll stick with https for now until Apple fix this.

This should now be the preferred answer. Works, thank you!

This seems to be the "official way", but in when I open the URL via openURL(), on iOS 12, first Safari opens, forwards to another site finance-app.itunes.apple.com, where a popup shows up "Open this page in iTunes Store?". If you tap "Open", the "iTunes Store" app opens, and the desired screen appears as a modal overlay. Ugh. Is there a smoother way, without redirects, preferably so that either the Settings app or the App Store app opens? (That's what I would expect as a user.)

The new one apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions redirects to App Store, and only works on iOS 12 or later. The old one buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/… redirects to iTunes Store. Both are official ways. Tested on my iOS 10-13 devices.

This is the correct way to direct the users to the AppStore -> Subscriptions. The previous pref "itms://" was redirecting to iTunes Store -> Subscriptions.

Would like to point out that this doesn't take you to the App Store application, it opens up iTunes. This link, buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/…, used to work and would take you to the App Store, not iTunes. But that link no longer works.

This should be the top voted answer. It is the the only one that takes you to the App Store. All the other solutions either no longer work or take you to iTunes. This will work as a browser link as well.

This links to iTunes. The title of this question clearly states it would like to take the user to the App Store.

This is not relevant to the question.

This link also takes the user to iTunes and not the App Store as the question title states.

This links to iTunes. The title of this question clearly states it would like to take the user to the App Store. Using this link itms-apps://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions will open the App Store app on your phone or computer if you are on a Mac.
