In App Purchase

I am just wondering about apple in app purchase expiry date.

Lets say I have purchased one product on 11-01-2012 at 10:30 Am, then what will be the expiry date for one month duration?

It is depends on time at which i have purchased or only date?

Please let me know because for one month subscriptions I am getting 5 min expiry date in sandbox so i dont know how exactly one month subscription will work?

Subscription duration lengths are compressed in the sandbox. 7 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year subscriptions expire respectively after 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour in the sandbox.


You should get auto-renewal notifications at least 3 minutes after the subscriptions. Thus, you would get an auto-renewal notice for a purchased 7-day subscription, six minutes or more after the purchase date. This delay allows you to test when dealing with subscription gaps or interruptions in a subscription. Note that there is no delay in production.
