Apple App Store API v2 connection

Everything you need to know how to connect Apple v2 to LinkFive

Enable App Store Server to Server notifications

LinkFive has full integration of Apple Server to Server notifications. Whenever a user changes their subscription status, Apple notifies our API to ensure that your users have a valid subscription.

Please use the following URL for all Apple Notifications:

LinkFive Key Overview

We need 3 different components to validate that your users own a valid subscription:

•  1. The In-App Purchase Key
•  2. The created Key ID
•  3. The Issuer ID

We use the in-app purchase key to verify that a purchase has been made through your app and to collect other information about when the subscription ends and whether it has been cancelled.

Generate the In-App Purchase Key

•  1. Go to the App Store Connect and open the “Users ans Access“-tab.
•  2. Go to “Keys“
•  3. Click on In-App Purchase and click on the (+) Add-icon

•  4. Give it a custom name like LinkFive Api Key.

•  5. Download the Key file

•  6. Upload to LinkFive

Find the Key ID

The Key ID is next to the created Key

The Issuer ID

The Issuer ID is the same for each key you've created. The KeyId is currently on the App Store Connect API tab.

Thats all we need.

App Store Connect API Key

You can also create a new App Store Connect Api Key.

The App Store Connect Api Key is also a valid Key you can upload to LinkFive.
