README

This is a zero-dependencies* pure PHP library that allows managing customer transactions using the App Store Server API and handling server-to-server notifications by providing everything you need to implement the App Store Server Notifications V2 endpoint.

_{* Zero-dependencies means this library doesn't rely on any third-party library. At the same time, this library relies on such essential PHP extensions as json and openssl}

NOTE

If you need to deal with receipts instead of (or additionally to) API, check out this library.

App Store Server API version compatibility: 1.15 - 2025/02/21

Installation

Nothing special here, just use composer to install the package:

composer require readdle/app-store-server-api

Usage

App Store Server API

API initialization:

try {
    $api = new \Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\AppStoreServerAPI(
        \Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\Environment::PRODUCTION,
        '1a2b3c4d-1234-4321-1111-1a2b3c4d5e6f',
        'com.readdle.MyBundle',
        'ABC1234DEF',
        "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n<base64-encoded private key goes here>\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"
    );
} catch (\Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\Exception\WrongEnvironmentException $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

Performing API call:

try {
    $transactionHistory = $api->getTransactionHistory($transactionId, ['sort' => GetTransactionHistoryQueryParams::SORT__DESCENDING]);
    $transactions = $transactionHistory->getTransactions();
} catch (\Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\Exception\AppStoreServerAPIException $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

App Store Server Notifications

try {
    $responseBodyV2 = \Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\ResponseBodyV2::createFromRawNotification(
        '{"signedPayload":"..."}',
        \Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\Util\Helper::toPEM(file_get_contents('https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/AppleRootCA-G3.cer'))
    );
} catch (\Readdle\AppStoreServerAPI\Exception\AppStoreServerNotificationException $e) {
    exit('Server notification could not be processed: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

Examples

In examples/ directory you can find examples for all implemented endpoints. Initialization of the API client is separated into client.php and used in all examples.

In order to run examples you have to create credentials.json and/or notifications.json inside examples/ directory.

credentials.json structure should be as follows:

{
  "env": "Production",
  "issuerId": "1a2b3c4d-1234-4321-1111-1a2b3c4d5e6f",
  "bundleId": "com.readdle.MyBundle",
  "keyId": "ABC1234DEF",
  "key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n<base64-encoded private key goes here>\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----",
  "orderId": "ABC1234DEF",
  "transactionId": "123456789012345"
}

In most examples transactionId is used. Please, consider that transactionId is related to environment, so if you put transactionId from the sandbox the environment property should be Sandbox as well, otherwise you'll get {"errorCode":4040010,"errorMessage":"Transaction id not found."} error.

For Order ID lookup you have to specify orderId. This endpoint (and, consequently, the example) is not available in the sandbox environment.

notification.json structure is the same as you receive it in your server-to-server notification endpoint:

{"signedPayload":"<JWT token goes here>"}
