Tested environment

Both in iOS emulator and real device

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Below is my portion of code that caused the issue when execute.

RNIap.prepare()
    .then(() => {
      RNIap.buySubscription('valid_item_id')
      .then(purchase => {
        console.warn('Purchase Detail: ' + JSON.stringify(purchase));
        RNIap.endConnection();
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.warn('Purchase Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err));
        RNIap.endConnection();
      });
    })
    .catch(err => {
      console.warn(err);
    });

I also tried to call getSubscriptions and getPurchaseHistory using the same product ID without issue. The getSubscriptions will return the subscription details while getPurchaseHistory return empty array as there is no existing purchase. I am using the user ID in the sandbox testers. On Android device all function works well.

Managed to find out the issue after dig into the ios code RNIapIos.m. I need to call the getSubscriptions() before calling buySubscription(). The reason is there is a variable "validProducts" that need to fill with product data before I can call buySubscription(). Seem like this sequence didn't specify in the README.md.
