Couldn't purchase with Subscription offer

I am trying to make the In-App Purchase subscription offer work. So I get the encoded signature, nonce, timestamp and key identifier from our server. I create a SKPaymentDiscount object and setting this to paymentDiscount of SKMutablePayment object.

On the first pop it is showing the revised price as expected -> enter the password and continue -> Second pop-up: Confirm subscription : Ok -> Third pop-up: shows the following error Unable to Purchase Contact the developer for more information.

I tried passing a non-applicable offer identifier for a product. Then it threw proper error saying: this cannot be applied to this.

PromoOfferAPI.prepareOffer(usernameHash: "name", productIdentifier: "bundleid.product", offerIdentifier: "TEST10") { (result) in
            switch result {

            case let .success(discount):
                // The original product being purchased.
                let payment = SKMutablePayment(product: option.product)
                // You must set applicationUsername to be the same as the one used to generate the signature.
                payment.applicationUsername = "name"
                // Add the offer to the payment.
                payment.paymentDiscount = discount
                // Add the payment to the queue for purchase.
                SKPaymentQueue.default().add(payment)
                break
            case let .customFail(message):
                print(message)
                break
            case let .failure(error):
                print(error.localizedDescription)
                break
            }
        }

No matter how many times I try, it keeps giving me the same error. Unable to Purchase Contact the developer for more information. What can be done to resolve this issue. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks In Advance!

Edit 1: It never gets into updatedTransactions function. It just logs Finishing transaction for payment "bundleid.product" with state: failed.

Edit 2: Got the error: code - 12 (invalidSignature). Cannot connect to iTunes Store

Node.JS code that generates the encoded signature.

const UUID = require("uuid-v4");
const microtime = require('microtime');
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const EC = require("elliptic").ec;
const ec = new EC("secp256k1");
const crypto = require('crypto');

const privateKey = `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
key goes here
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----`;
//const key = ec.keyFromPrivate(privateKey,'hex');


router.post('/',(req, res)=>{
    const bundle_id = "bundle.id";
    const key_id = "keyed";
    const nonce = String(UUID()).toLowerCase();// Should be lower case
    const timestamp = microtime.now();

    const product = req.body.product;
    const offer = req.body.offer;
    const application_username = req.body.application_username;

    const payload = bundle_id + '\u2063' + key_id + '\u2063' + product + '\u2063' + offer + '\u2063' + application_username + '\u2063' + String(nonce) + '\u2063' + String(timestamp)
    let shaMsg = crypto.createHash("sha256").update(payload).digest();
    let signature = ec.sign(shaMsg, privateKey, {canonical: true});
    let derSign = signature.toDER();
    let buff = new Buffer(derSign);  
    let base64EncodedSignature = buff.toString('base64');
    let response = {
        "signeture": base64EncodedSignature,
        "nonce": nonce,
        "timestamp": timestamp,
        "keyIdentifier": key_id
    }
    res.type('json').send(response);
});

module.exports = router;

Why is my purchase not working?

If you experience trouble making a purchase, follow the steps below: Make sure in-app purchase options are set correctly on your device. Play Store > Payment Methods. Close the game from the background and restart it.

Why did my in-app purchase fail?

- Restart your device. Sometimes restarting the device can help fix in-app purchase issues. - Make sure date and time are updated. If you have recently changed the date and time on your device, make sure the date and time are correct.

After a couple days of swapping between mine+Apple's WWDC19 node impl, and the one above, I found that my issue was not setting the applicationUsername iOS side to match the applicationUsername used in node. Specifically, the SKMutablePayment object iOS side where the discount is set. Hope some fortunate sufferer sees this after less hours than it took me.

I ran into the same issue while testing out the new WWDC2019 example Node.js server files they provided. After following the readme, I was able to successfully generate a signature.

To my surprise, however, an invalid signature will look just like a valid one, and it took me a while to realize that my signature was invalid.

My error was the following: I used Alamofire to make a GET request to my server, like so:

AF.request("myserver:3000/offer", parameters: parameters).responseJSON { response in

        var signature: String?
        var keyID: String?
        var timestamp: NSNumber?
        var nonce: UUID?

        switch response.result {
        case let .success(value):
            let json = JSON(value)

            // Get required parameters for creating offer
            signature = json["signature"].stringValue
            keyID = json["keyID"].stringValue
            timestamp = json["timestamp"].numberValue
            nonce = UUID(uuidString: json["nonce"].stringValue)

        case let .failure(error):
            print(error)
            return
        }

        // Create offer
        let discountOffer = SKPaymentDiscount(identifier: offerIdentifier, keyIdentifier: keyID!, nonce: nonce!, signature: signature!, timestamp: timestamp!)

        // Pass offer in completion block
        completion(discountOffer) // this completion is a part of the method where this snippet is running
    }
}

On the files provided in the WWDC2019 Video on Subscription Offers, in the index.js file, they are loading the parameters I passed on my request like so:

const appBundleID = req.body.appBundleID;
const productIdentifier = req.body.productIdentifier;
const subscriptionOfferID = req.body.offerID;
const applicationUsername = req.body.applicationUsername;

However, my alamofire request did not pass the parameters in the body, but rather, as query parameters. Therefore, the server was generating a signature with a null appBundleID as well as other null fields! So I changed the aforementioned section of index.js to the following:

const appBundleID = req.query.appBundleID;
const productIdentifier = req.query.productIdentifier;
const subscriptionOfferID = req.query.offerID;
const applicationUsername = req.query.applicationUsername;

I hope this helps anyone who overlooked this. Pardon my unsafe swift, but I hope you get the point!

After many trials and errors, figured the issue. Basically it was because of the wrong algorithm and along with minor issues here and there. Here is the complete code in Node.js, hope this helps someone.

  // https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/generating_a_signature_for_subscription_offers
  // Step 1
  const appBundleID = req.body.appBundleID
  const keyIdentifier = req.body.keyIdentifier
  const productIdentifier = req.body.productIdentifier
  const offerIdentifier = req.body.offerIdentifier
  const applicationUsername = req.body.applicationUsername

  const nonce = uuid4()
  const timestamp = Math.floor(new Date())

  // Step 2
  // Combine the parameters into a UTF-8 string with 
  // an invisible separator ('\u2063') between them, 
  // in the order shown:
  // appBundleId + '\u2063' + keyIdentifier + '\u2063' + productIdentifier + 
  // '\u2063' + offerIdentifier + '\u2063' + applicationUsername + '\u2063' + 
  // nonce + '\u2063' + timestamp

  let payload = appBundleID + '\u2063' + keyIdentifier + '\u2063' + productIdentifier + '\u2063' + offerIdentifier + '\u2063' + applicationUsername + '\u2063' + nonce+ '\u2063' + timestamp

  // Step 3
  // Sign the combined string
  // Private Key - p8 file downloaded
  // Algorithm - ECDSA with SHA-256

  const keyPem = fs.readFileSync('file_name.pem', 'ascii');
  // Even though we are specifying "RSA" here, this works with ECDSA
  // keys as well.
  // Step 4
  // Base64-encode the binary signature
  const sign = crypto.createSign('RSA-SHA256')
                   .update(payload)
                   .sign(keyPem, 'base64');

  let response1 = {
    "signature": sign,
    "nonce": nonce,
    "timestamp": timestamp,
    "keyIdentifier": keyIdentifier
  }
  res.type('json').send(response1);
