iOS in-app purchase auto-renewable subscriptions free trial option not available?

From apple's documentation it is possible to offer free trials to users, after which they will be auto-billed at the end of the trial

If you offer a free trial, it will begin when a user subscribes. They will be automatically charged when the free trial is over, unless they have turned off auto-renewal. If you choose to offer a free trial, a drop-down menu will be displayed that will allow you to select the free trial duration.

Now i don't see this option available when i create a new auto-renewing subscription.

I see a screen like this as shown in docs enter image description here

Does someone know where to enable this or is it even possbile?

Or do i have to manually develop the feature by saving the free trial start date?

In iTunes, free trial auto-renewing subscriptions are only available for apps that are managed as newsstand applications. You can verify this if you create a new app and mark it as newsstand and then created an auto-renewing product.
