Custom Behaviours in Offline Mode

Hi Raghavendra,

Are you using the IAP button class from the Window | Unity IAP | IAP Button menu?

If that's the case, just to be sure, have you added a function to show your "No Internet" popup to the OnClick of the Button component? The button component itself should not be being enabled or disabled, but if that's the case we'll investigate.

 

Ah!

Can you please direct your question to the Game Foundation forums here: https://forum.unity.com/forums/game-foundation.416/

Unfortunately I am not an expert on Game Foundation, but our team over there will be glad to help you. If they need my advice on IAP-Game Foundation interactions, I will help them.

 

@Raghavendra ,

Sorry for the confusion, but we're having a bit of trouble tracking down your issue. I rebuilt our samples project "01_Store/Grid Store - Landscape" today, started the game offline as well as going offline while already playing and never witnessed the buy button being disabled. In my test, the request was passed down to IAP where it failed (as expected--you can't purchase offline).

If you wanted to send us your test app, we could try to dig into the issue further. Please note that most of our team is US-based so there will be some availability issues due to the holidays, but we'd like to know more about what you're experiencing so we can try to assist you as much as possible.

Another option you might consider is rewiring the 'buy' button so you can have a custom script intercept the offline response and handle it yourself. Again, not sure how your app is setup, but there may be an opportunity for some custom code there.

I'll go ahead and try 1-2 other store sample projects to try to reproduce the change you're seeing in the buy button.

I'll also pass along your question to our PM to see if he has any thoughts or if this is something we could work into a future release.

Thanks again for reaching out and good luck!

 

@Raghavendra ,

Just wanted to follow up to see if you might want to send us a test project so we can help you debug the issue you're experiencing. I did try other samples on device while changing online status at various times and was never witnessed any change in our buy button--it was always interactable, and, if clicked while offline, a message appeared that you couldn't purchase so it seemed to work as expected, at least in our sample projects.

Again, best of luck; please let us know if we can help further.

 

@Raghavendra, Strange, I wasn't getting that behavior when I tested on android with the sample scenes. That might be a good place to start--would you mind using the Game Foundation Prefabs Sample "01_Store" scene "Grid Store - Landscape" to test if you can replicate your issue? Also, please let us know if you testing on android or any other unique data about your test case to help us narrow down the problem you're experiencing.

As far as the native popup you're receiving, I don't believe it's possible to avoid that once the request has been sent on to IAP--the best way to get the behavior you're looking for would be to catch the button press yourself and check online status before sending the request on to IAP for processing. Then you could handle it as you prefer when offline, and simply pass on for processing if player is online.

@richj_unity has more experience with iap and is back from vacation today--would you mind weighing in on this? Do you have any other insights here that might be helpful?

 

One thing I didn't mention is that you'll have to add an IAP product to the sample catalog to test (thanks @richj_unity for the offline reminder!). The sample scene only demonstrates virtual transactions, but, by adding 1 or more IAP products as well, you can use it to test button behaviors and IAP transactions using the prebuilt sample scene. Just a heads up, in case you run into trouble. Good luck and please reach out with your results or any other questions or problems you might have.
