How to get cancellation date of Auto-Renewable subscription?

Question

I am developing iOS app which sells the "Auto-Renewable Subscriptions" via the IAP. This app has to know the "date of the cancellation subscription" but I couldn't find the way so far.

Would you please tell me the way how to get cancellation date of Auto-Renewable subscription?

I have tried to confirm this point as below, but I couldn't find any clues.

• I suspect that the "expires_date" key, described in the "Auto-Renewable Subscriptions" article, will store the date when users cancel the subscription. However, the article does not explain about it explicitly.

• I wrote a very simple program to test actual behavior of IAP, but it doesn't work well as I expected. (it always returned 21007 in the 'status' key when this sample validates the receipt in the 'sandbox mode' iTunes Connect, but it did not return the "expires_date" value at all).

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

You can find cancellation_date string in the document, which indicates the subscribtion whether be canceled or not,and additional documentmay helps too;

Answer 2

I have the same problem. I did find some information in the documentation though, but there doesn't seems to be any way to test this.

To summarize, there should be a cancellation_date field in the receipt. It should be in the same receipt you would find expires_date, both for iOS 6 & 7 transaction receipts! As you see, everything is based on "should".
