I have yet to take a look at Apple’s In App Purchase system in full detail. Does the system have any way of validating purchases or other security mechanisms? Also, when users pirate applications, would the information regarding in app purchases made be copied as well or not?
Thanks in advance, Luke [import]uid: 75643 topic_id: 15840 reply_id: 315840[/import]

Sorry that you haven’t gotten a response. I’ve just started working with IAP as well. There isn’t a “validate” function per say through iTunes, but you could make the user “restore purchases” to re-authenticate with iTunes for all the IAP the user has purchased.
If you developed your own client/server communication (with your own server of course), you could keep track of that information yourself.
As for pirating apps and IAP - I don’t have any experience with pirating or jailbraking/rooting. I would assume that it depends on how you implement IAP (already in the app or downloaded). [import]uid: 42145 topic_id: 15840 reply_id: 59308[/import]
Thanks for the response, it seems Apple is smart about their security with their IAP to an extent. Thanks again for the help, Luke.

@obeliskgames, take a look at this thread: https://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/02/01/protecting-app-purchases-against-piracy
It discusses in great detail about piracy concerns.
