From the Apple docs, 21004 is "The shared secret you provided does not match the shared secret on file for your account.": https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/ValidateAppStoreReceipt/Chapters/ValidateRemotely.html

However, PlayFab's iOS receipt validation is designed to validate in-app purchases of specific items. We go through a number of steps to confirm that the receipt is valid, is for your title, and has never been used in the past, and then place an instance of the item purchased (from your defined game catalog) in the player inventory. Subscriptions aren't fully supported yet by our system, though if you want to send the specific receipt to us at devrel@playfab.com, we can work with you on possible approaches.

Not currently, no. As with the post above, if you want to open a ticket with us and let us know how you plan to use subscriptions, we can talk through potential approaches.

Subscriptions are supported in a preview form right now, but we do not handle the auto-renewal directly. You need to re-submit the receipt from the client in order to update the status of the subscription.

I could have sworn that my iOS IAP with PlayFab validation was fully working, but when testing today with my first Beta build, the Apple part of the purchase works fine, but then I get the 21004 error about InvalidSharedSecret.

What's interesting is... I went to App Store Connect and PlayFab Apple Add-On settings, and the shared secret WAS different. I was missing 1 character at the end of the secret in the PlayFab Apple Add-On setting. Bundle ID was correct.

So I fixed that and have triple checked it a few times. A couple hours later, I am still getting the same error. Does it take many hours to "propagate" this change? If not, I wonder what the problem is?

What's your Title ID, so that we can have a look?

There's a space in your shared secret (at the start of the string). If you get rid of that (assuming the rest of it matches your Apple secret), you should be good. I'll file a backlog item to have those input fields automatically remove leading/trailing spaces.
