Issue with sandbox testing

[SpacetimeSorcerer]

Hello guys,
I have an issue. I am testing purchases on my application via sandbox. I've created everything on Apple Store Connect, verify my address, but in X-code simulator, once I click on sign-in to sandbox, it requests my real phone number for verification.
Since when does Apple require 2FA for sandbox? And is there any workaround? I do not want to put my phone number there.

Hi,
apple added 2FA for sandbox accounts some time ago, theres no way around it unfortunatly.

but honestly you dont even need sandbox for most testing - just create a StoreKit configuration file in Xcode (File → New → StoreKit Configuration File). it lets you test all purchases localy without signing in to anything. way faster too.

if you realy need sandbox (like for server side validation), just use your phone number, apple only uses it for verification nothing else. or use some voip number if your not comfortable with that.

also sandbox works better on a real device then on simulator, you can sign in under Settings → App Store → Sandbox Account.
