+## In-app purchases
+
+The App Store's sandbox cannot complete a purchase in a Simulator (Apple: purchases there need a device; signing in fails with `AMSErrorDomain`). StoreKit Testing can, and `app_control storekit` applies the app's `.storekit` file the way Xcode's Run does, with no Xcode window and no change to the app:
+
+```
+simulator-use app storekit Products.storekit   # the app launched last; app_control {action: "storekit", value: "Products.storekit", app: "com.example.app"}
+simulator-use app launch                       # the app loads the file's products, and purchases complete at once
+simulator-use app storekit clear               # back to the App Store
+```
+
+- Products, purchases, subscriptions and renewals are local (environment `Xcode`), with no Apple Account.
+- Applying starts from the file's state: its products, no purchases. Purchases complete without iOS's purchase sheet, which is not in the app's accessibility tree.
+- It lasts until the app is removed: building and installing over it keeps it.
+- A relative path is looked up here, then in the folder of the project `app_run` built last (on a cloud phone, the uploaded project).

+App Review runs iPhone apps on an iPad, where iPadOS draws them in a window, moved and scaled. `ui_look` says so in a line of its own, and gives every position in the iPad's screen points, as taps and screenshots use them; a tap beside the window is reported as landing outside it.
