Audible has pulled its in-app purchase option from the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch instead of sharing 30 percent of sales from the feature with Apple. The audio book seller also sent out an email to subscribers add home page links to a Shop Audible Web site.

Download Audible audio books & stories and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Start a new routine with Audible. Your place for listening to the world’s largest selection of audiobooks, kids stories and bite-sized audio content - at home, while working, or when taking a break. How to Add Audible Audiobooks to iTunes on Windows 1. Use Audiobooks from Audible App. Audible has an App for Windows users called 'Audiobook from Audible' and this app can help you download and listen to your audiobooks on Apple devices and also enables you to load your Audible audiobooks to iTunes where you can sync them with your Apple devices and listen through the Books app. Listen to Audible on almost any device, from phones and tablets to Amazon Echo, Sonos and more. Sync them all with your account and the app will pick up where you left off, from the kitchen to the car, from the train to the plane. Aug 11, 2018 Unfortunately, Audible has not provided a macOS app on the store and to make it even worse there is not even an official Audible app for Mac like you get in Windows. But fret not, you can still listen to Audible on Mac – either by using the official integration with iTunes or by sideloading the Audible Android app on your Mac.
The workaround lets Audible avoid revenue sharing with Apple, although it adds extra steps for subscribers that want to download new audio books since they have to leave the Audible app and visit a Web site. Previously, subscribers could tap a shopping button in the Audible application to find new books to download.
Audible’s answer to in-app purchases
Apple’s policy requires publishers to share 30 percent of in-app sales and subscriptions, which didn’t sit well with some magazines, news papers and other subscription services. Some companies pulled their apps from Apple’s App Store, others complied with the policy, and some — like Audible — simply dropped in-app purchase support.
“We’d like to update you on a change to the Audible application that affects the way that you access the Audible mobile store,” Audible told subscribers in an email. “In order to comply with recent policy changes by Apple, we’ve removed the ‘Shop’ link from within the app that opened your web browser and took you to the Audible mobile store.”
Audible chose to take advantage of a feature that’s been available on the iPhone since it was first introduced that lets users add Web site bookmarks as icons to their home screen. When users tap the bookmark button, the Audible shopping Web site opens as if it were an app.
The end result is that Audible gets to keep the 30 percent it would otherwise have to pay to Apple, and subscribers now have to go through extra steps to purchase audio books on their iOS devices.
The Audible app is free and available at Apple’s iTunes-based App Store.

The only time I saw this issue I was able to resolve it by de-authorizing my Audible account, existing and restarting iTunes, then re-authorizing. That was several releases ago, so may not be the same issue as you're having. If this doesn't work the 12.1.0.71 installers are here:

I don't know is this is related, but Audible have been encouraging customers with a separate Audible account to merge this with their Amazon account - which generally changes your login id/password for the Audible site. I'm not sure yet how this relates to authorization on iTunes since the downloaded .aa files have your user id embedded in the data ... hopefully it doesn't mean having to authorize with an old Audible account and an Amazon account, or switching between the two ...
