Problem restoring IAPs

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

Hi,

We’re developing our 1st children app and we have 6 different IAPs in our free app. There is no apparent problem buying the IAP with our test accounts. But we do face a problem of restoring IAPs. When we click the designated restore button, it only restores 2 of the 6 IAPs. Repeating the restore process does not restore any of the remaining 4. However, if we manually buy each of the 4 IAPs again, iTunes says it has been purchased and we could restore each of them successfully.

We’re building our app with Corona SDK v748 & Kwik 1.8.1 for iOS. Below is the code:

 local onrestorebuyTouch = function(event)   
 if event.phase=="ended" then   
 store.restore()   
 transitionStash.newTransition\_768 = transition.to( restoring, {alpha=restoring.oldAlpha, time=0, delay=0})   
 local myClosure\_switch = function()   
 disposeAudios()   
 disposeTweens()   
 director:changeScene( "page\_1", "overFromLeft" )   
 end   
 timerStash.newTimer\_773 = timer.performWithDelay(10000, myClosure\_switch, 1)   
 end   
 end   
--(10) regular layer   
 restorebuy = ui.newButton{   
 defaultSrc=imgDir.."p20\_restorebuy.png",   
 defaultX = 141,   
 defaultY = 113,   
 overSrc=imgDir.."p20\_restorebuy.png",   
 overX = 141,   
 overY = 113,   
 onRelease=onrestorebuyTouch,   
 id="restorebuyButton"   
 }   
  
 restorebuy.x = 953; restorebuy.y = 712; restorebuy.alpha = 1; restorebuy.oldAlpha = 1   
 menuGroup:insert(restorebuy)   
 menuGroup.restorebuy = restorebuy

Thanks,

I think I had a similar thing. I had added two items intitially in connect and then later once they were working added some more.
I could purchase all items but only the first two restored.

I re-uploaded the binary and I think this may of fixed it. Although I was trying all sorts of different solutions so I can’t be 100% sure that this was what caused it to work again. [import]uid: 51494 topic_id: 22471 reply_id: 90549[/import]

Hi Gareth,

I saw from another post, an developer by the name of Naomi did a hard reset on his device and he managed to restore everything.

I’m going to try this later, and hopefully using the latest version of Corona, this could be solved.

Hey, Ben, I’m she, not he. Hahaha.

Yeah, I have to hard-reset (erase all content and settings) when my IAP mechanics somehow gets screwed up. It happens often enough. Honestly, I don’t understand why it does that. Testing against iTC Sandbox can be so annoying. Oh well, at least, hard-reset does wonders for me. Hopefully, this only happens with testing against sandbox and never with the final release…

Restoring from Sandbox doesn’t always seem to work. After testing with a bunch of sandbox accounts it just seems to be a result either of the testing environment, or simply the short time gap between purchasing and then trying to restore repeatedly.

I think you should be fine as long as the code is all there, and it does work semi-randomly (and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be). [import]uid: 87138 topic_id: 22471 reply_id: 90848[/import]

Sorry about that Naomi.

Revaerie, thanks for the comments. I’ve taken a leap of faith and uploaded my app to iTC. Hopefully it works fine live when Apple approves it.

Have a nice weekend.

No problem, Ben. Good luck with your submission!

one thing that screwed me up is that in-app purchases will not get a callback for “consumable” products.

“Store Kit provides built-in functionality to restore transactions for non-consumable products, auto-renewable subscriptions and free subscriptions”
