Verification failed with status INVALID_APP_IDENTIFIER

Hi,

We are trying to verify transaction IDs using the App Store Server Library for Python. We have been able to successfully send a test notification, but then when trying to get transaction information for a specific transaction ID we are receiving the InvalidAppIdentifierError (error code: 4000002). We have verified that the bundle_id is correct and matches what we see in App Store Connect, and the bundle_id seems to be valid and work when we sent a test notification. We have also tried setting the bundle_id to be equal to our <TEAM ID>.<BUNDLE_ID>, which is the format for the application-identifier in our TestFlight Build Metadata, but we still receive the same error when doing so.

We would greatly appreciate any help or advice on how to resolve this, and please let me know if any more information is needed to help us.

    signed_transaction_info = response.signedTransactionInfo or ""
    print(signed_transaction_info)

Thank you for reaching out, unfortunately without information on which app this is for or other details, it is difficult to determine the specifics. Could you please file a ticket in Feedback Assistant (http://feedbackassistant.apple.com) with the unredacted values and also what time you made these requests, and please post the FB number here.

@dopple_dev You're getting this because you're using the wrong SignedDataVerifier method. Use verify_and_decode_signed_transaction instead of verify_and_decode_notification.
