Question

I’m looking at setting up In App Purchases for an iPhone app.
I’m planning on using the new auto-renewable subscription type. However, I want to offer multiple durations for a particular subscription, but can’t see how I can retrieve the duration from the SKProduct that is returned in the SKProductsResponse.products array.

The SKProduct object has price, localizedTitle and localizedDescription. However, if you set up a subscription family with multiple durations the title/description are set once for the family so you cannot include the duration, and the docs explicitly say don’t include the duration in the title/description. However, can’t see any other field where I can retrieve the duration for displaying in my custom in app store. Either I’m missing something or it isn’t going to be available until 4.3?

Pointers greatly appreciated!

You need to have some mapping product_id => length somewhere, either in your app or retrived from your app’s backend.
