Hello,

I’m encountering an issue with an iOS in-app purchase receipt where the in_app array contains the previous transaction’s data, rather than the most recent one. However, the correct transaction details appear in the latest_receipt_info array. According to my understanding, the in_app array should contain the most recent transaction details, but in my case, it does not.

Here’s the anonymized receipt data for reference:

{
  "receipt": {
    "receipt_type": "Production",
    "adam_id": ...,
    "app_item_id": ...,
    "bundle_id": "...",
    "application_version": "...",
    "download_id": ...,
    "version_external_identifier": ...,
    "receipt_creation_date": "2024-08-20 12:52:28 Etc/GMT",
    "receipt_creation_date_ms": "1724158348000",
    "receipt_creation_date_pst": "2024-08-20 05:52:28 America/Los_Angeles",
    "request_date": "2024-08-25 03:27:31 Etc/GMT",
    "request_date_ms": "1724556451959",
    "request_date_pst": "2024-08-24 20:27:31 America/Los_Angeles",
    "original_purchase_date": "2015-10-09 07:04:21 Etc/GMT",
    "original_purchase_date_ms": "1444374261000",
    "original_purchase_date_pst": "2015-10-09 00:04:21 America/Los_Angeles",
    "original_application_version": "1.1.3449",
    "in_app": [
      {
        "quantity": "1",
        "product_id": "...279K",
        "transaction_id": "500001835761582",
        "original_transaction_id": "500001835761582",
        "purchase_date": "2024-08-20 12:52:27 Etc/GMT",
        "purchase_date_ms": "1724158347000",
        "purchase_date_pst": "2024-08-20 05:52:27 America/Los_Angeles",
        "original_purchase_date": "2024-08-20 12:52:27 Etc/GMT",
        "original_purchase_date_ms": "1724158347000",
        "original_purchase_date_pst": "2024-08-20 05:52:27 America/Los_Angeles",
        "is_trial_period": "false",
        "in_app_ownership_type": "PURCHASED"
      }
    ]
  },
  "environment": "Production",
  "latest_receipt_info": [
    {
      "quantity": "1",
      "product_id": "...155K",
      "transaction_id": "500001841402403",
      "original_transaction_id": "500001841402403",
      "purchase_date": "2024-08-25 03:27:28 Etc/GMT",
      "purchase_date_ms": "1724556448000",
      "purchase_date_pst": "2024-08-24 20:27:28 America/Los_Angeles",
      "original_purchase_date": "2024-08-25 03:27:28 Etc/GMT",
      "original_purchase_date_ms": "1724556448000",
      "original_purchase_date_pst": "2024-08-24 20:27:28 America/Los_Angeles",
      "is_trial_period": "false",
      "in_app_ownership_type": "PURCHASED"
    }
  ]
}

As shown, the in_app array contains a transaction with a purchase_date of 2024-08-20, while the latest_receipt_info array correctly reflects the most recent transaction with a purchase_date of 2024-08-25.

Is this behavior expected, or is it an issue that needs addressing? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
