CheckForUpdatePeriodically warning

Hi Jeff,

As stated in my original post, we are using iAP 2.0.6 (the latest available at the time of writing).

We can of course build, but I stand by my original comments. Any errors produced by the engine or Unity provided packages should be fixed as soon a possible to avoid people becoming conditioned to ignore errors. This is a very real problem when dealing with a team of artists and designers.

2.0.6 is not the IAP version number, that's the Purchasing package in Package Manager. The latest IAP version is 1.23.1. Can you confirm?

 

Hi @JeffDUnity3D,

The console shows me I am using UnityIAP Version: 1.23.1.

I hadn't realised that the IAP Package version was different from the actual version of UnityIAP... very unintuitive, is there a reason for this?

Surely the In App Purchasing Package version must map to the UnityIAP Version in one way or another?

Niall

 

Yes, 2.0.6 in Package Manager and IAP 1.23.1 as the Asset version are the latest releases of both components. We are working to make them into a single Package Manager package soon.

 

Hello

Switching from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4, I got the same problem. Unity IAP version is 1.23.1 and package Manager is 2.0.3.
Not affecting any build or sth. but there are always a red exclamation mark which is not good.

I agree with Niall here "Any errors produced by the engine or Unity provided packages should be fixed as soon a possible to avoid people becoming conditioned to ignore errors."

i clear player prefs and error is gone

public class ClearPrefs
{
[MenuItem("Tools/Clear Player Prefs")]
static public void ClearPlayerPrefs()
{
PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();
}

}

 

Same issue. Sad to see this unfixed since Dec 27 2018

PackageUpdater::CheckForUpdatePeriodically(): Invalid Date Time String "{0}": 6/22/2020 10:15:01 AM
UnityEditor.Purchasing.UnityIAPUpdater:CheckForUpdatePeriodically()

Unity 2019.4.4, Unity IAP 1.23.4, In App Purchasing Package 2.0.6
Windows 10 (Language: US English, Region: Germany)

 

I'm seeing the same error, and I think it might also be affecting and causing a crash on my live app! At least it crashes with an IAP error which feels a bit coincidental.

 

Can you provide the device logs? What is the error? This is only an Editor issue in this thread, it would not affect game play. Also, Google or iOS? https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-capturing-device-logs-on-android.528680/ and https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-capturing-device-logs-on-ios.529920/

 

I've started having the same issue when I forced the en-us culture with this in an Awake method:

Code (CSharp):

1. CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
2. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
3. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

 

Please describe your issue.

 

PackageUpdater::CheckForUpdatePeriodically(): Invalid Date Time String "{0}": 02/19/2020 19:42:51
UnityEditor.Purchasing.UnityIAPUpdater:CheckForUpdatePeriodically()


Just got this error debug log today.

 

Please share a screenshot to confirm

 

Still getting this error in the editor:
PackageUpdater::CheckForUpdatePeriodically(): Invalid Date Time String "{0}": 10/13/2020 05:13:29
UnityEditor.Purchasing.UnityIAPUpdater:CheckForUpdatePeriodically()

Using Unity 2019.4.12

 

Really? you don't believe us?

 

I was shocked with the response too.

 

We haven't been able to reproduce, so I wanted a screenshot to include in the bug report.

 

I've just included a screen shot of the error, but it says exactly what I posted above.

 

Actually here is a better screen shot that shows the culprit.

 

Thank you, I wouldn't expect it to be different!

 

I get the same error every few minutes:

Code (CSharp):

1. PackageUpdater::CheckForUpdatePeriodically(): Invalid Date Time String "{0}": 10/23/2020 17:40:03
2. UnityEditor.Purchasing.UnityIAPUpdater:CheckForUpdatePeriodically()
3.  

IAP Version: 2.1.1
Unity Version: 2019.4.13f1 (LTS)
Windows Version: 1909
Date Format: dd.MM.yyyy

 

I am pretty sure it can be reproduced by setting the date / time zone to some setting - open the unity project with purchasing for the first time and than change the date / time zone region settings - next time opening Unity this error will always appear

 

Same error not letting enter play mode. iAP 2.0.0, editor 2018.4.27f1. Disabling update helps. Error appeared after setting up a project on fresh PC running Windows 10.

 

I have the same problem, too. and I find a way to avoid this error.
