Major highlights are:

• A local environment for testing your in-app purchases without needing to connect to App Store servers.

• Set up a test environment, create a StoreKit configuration file, and prepare to validate receipts locally.

• Test a variety of in-app purchase scenarios and automate those tests (like success purchase, failed purchase, interrupted purchase, external transactions, and Subscription offers) with the StoreKitTest framework. Improvements for testing in the sandbox environment.

• You can test it in all the simulators of iOS 14, tvOS 14, watch OS 7, mac OS Big Sur as well as on the physical devices.

• Create unit & UI tests with XCTest You have full control of the StoreKit in the Xcode environment without user interaction.
