Turning off auto-renewing subscriptings on an iOS device in sandbox

Question

I have set up and tested In-App purchases successfully in sandbox environment. But I have a problem:

• In actual In-App purchases, I can turn off auto-renewing subscriptings on an iOS device by following this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

• I wonder how I can do the same thing in sandbox environment. I thought we have to sign in App Store to turn off auto-renewing subscriptings, but Test User Account can not sign in App Store. So I think we can not turn off auto-renewing subscriptings in sandbox environment.

• If so, I also need a simple explanation why we can not.

• Thanks for reading and any help or direction will be appreciated.

Yes. That was my experience as well: that test users can't access the settings page to manage subscriptions in their phone. I think Apple just didn't bother programming this knowing that sandbox subscriptions will just cancel after five repetitions anyway. That automatic cancellation is probably your way to test the scenario where a user cancelled through the App Store.

@AdeelIshaq Do you mean how do you edit them? Go to iTunes Connect > My Apps > In-App Purchases. From there you can edit your In-App Purchases by adding a duration or you can select Create New > Auto-Renewable Subscriptions > Add Duration, and go from there. – Trimaran
