Cancel auto-renewal subscriptions with Swift

Question

I want to create a button where a user can cancel a auto-renewal subscription (or get redirected to App Store).

Is that possible without the user having to go through the whole purchase process first? If it is, how would you go about doing it?

The correct URL is now https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions according to Apple's Handling Subscriptions Billing Documentation.

So just use:

UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions")!)

Just change openURL to open and will be up to date thanks!! (openURL was deprecated on iOS 10 use open instead) UIApplication.shared.open – finalpets Jan 17 '20 at 00:21

From the Apple In-App Purchase Programming Guide -

Rather than needing to code your own subscription management UI, your app can open the following URL:

https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions Opening this URL launches iTunes or iTunes Store, and then displays the Manage Subscription page.

So, simply create a button that launches that URL.

UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions")!)

@MianShahbazAkram Are you testing in the sandbox? Subscription management is not available in the sandbox. It is only available for production apps with production iTunes users – Paulw11 Jun 06 '17 at 08:11
What to do in extensions where accessing UIApplication.sharedApplication (or shared now) is prevented? – Baran Nov 06 '18 at 14:51
You can't do it. – Paulw11 Nov 06 '18 at 16:09

As mentioned in the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StoreKitGuide/Chapters/Subscriptions.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008267-CH7-SW19

So for Swift 3/4 just use this

UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions")!)

iOS 10 and above

UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/manageSubscriptions")!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)

According to the Apple Document, the URL has been updated to

https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions

So the following code can be used to redirect the user to manage subscriptions page.

DispatchQueue.main.async {
      UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions")!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    }

This is a duplicate as it contains the same URL as my answer below. – vfxdev Jul 04 '21 at 20:58
