[Resolved] Need help with IAPs

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)
#1

Hey guys,

I have been looking all day at in app purchases. But cant get my head around it. I managed to get it all set up so that you could buy the product, however the product doesn’t do anything (that’s 60p I owe my dad…). I was wondering if anyone had a template for something where the adverts get removed when the product is bought?

Please help!

Saw your tweet.

First - The IAP stuff you were doing should have been in sandbox mode and not actually charged you anything. To be safe make sure your dad’s account is listed as a test account.

As far as getting it set up, if you have it all set up on the IAP side (which you clearly do) what you could do is make a button to test the unlock function.

Create the button and when pressed call the function you’d normally call on a successful purchase to test safely. (And in the simulator.)

What you would likely do in your specific case is save a value to a file/database indicating adsShow = true or false.

When the app starts up load the value and if adsShow == true then init the ads, else do nothing.

Make sense?

You bumped while I was posting.

Two things;

  1. Am moving this to IAP because it is about IAP.

  2. If you bump a thread again and it hasn’t even been one hour I am going to have to tell you off. Don’t do that. At least let it move off the front page. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24250 reply_id: 98011[/import]

Oops sorry Peach! I was annoying with myself for uploading it to the market when it wasn’t working properly >.<

Oh and I forgot to say that it is on Android. Therefore I am kinda unclear on how to test it properly?

Edit*

I think I’m being vague as to what bit i don’t get.

The thing i really don’t understand is where to place the saveFile function.

do i place it here?
[lua] function savePurchase(product)

end
[/lua]

or in this bit?
[lua] if event.transaction.state == “purchased” then
savePurchase(“com.companyname.appname.product”) --you should enter here the product being purchased[/lua]

Thank you

OK, well you can disregard the test account part for Android then but the rest is valid.

Do you only have one product you are selling in that app? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24250 reply_id: 98025[/import]
