Subscription SKU IDs

Our app needs to determine which type of subscription period the user has purchased (12 months or 1 month), for the purposes of granting them an amount of free content (the longer the subscription period they sign up for, the more free content they get). However, the response from the IAP tester and the receipt verification from the server-side sandbox tester only ever provide the 'parent' SKU, not the individual SKUs for the subscription period chosen. e.g. the user selects the '12-month period' from the drop-down list in the IAP tester (SKU: sub.weeklycontent.12months), but all that gets returned to the app is the sub.weeklycontent 'parent' SKU. Is there any way to get the SKU for the period chosen, or should we just only ensure that we have one subscription period per 'parent' SKU in order for our functionality to work?

Hi, The best way to do this would probably be to have one period per parent SKU so you can do the tracking properly. Thanks, Nick

i've found this too. what is the purpose (beyond confusing developers) of this parent skus if they only work in a one-to-one relation to the duration skus. sorry, i just had to complain. :) wasted many hours on this....

Yes we too would like to have a way of determining the end of the current cycle of a subscription. Either through SKU or (preferrably) through RVS in the backend.
