I am trying to implement in app purchase for my app. I followed some instructions and got stuck in a problem. It says in the documentation to call the sandbox url if status in the response for calling the production url is 21007. But the problem is that I am getting this status in production and also in sandbox. Is there something I am doing wrong? I tried to find the answer on StackOverflow, even though there are some that sound similar, none of the question was the same as mine. I am running my application on a real device through Xcode.
I am doing a POST to https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt with body:

but I receive as response:
{
"status": 21007
}
It is very easy to reproduce using Postman. I get the same response as calling the production url (https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt).
Is there something I am missing? Or maybe it could be a bug?
Exactly a problem from the App Store, see this post in the official Developer Forums: 21007 Status Code being returned by Sandbox Verify Receipt Endpoint
You can see many developers are having the same issue there.
