Now available: Retention messages for subscriptions

Apple launched retention messages in App Store Connect that appear in the cancellation flow and can include text, images, or a special offer to reduce churn. Developers can configure subscriber eligibility and wait times between offers, and request access to the Retention Messaging API to tailor messages per subscriber.
