[Closed] InApp returns more than items on verification

Hi,

Upon successful in-app on sandbox user we're getting receipt from Apple, when we try to verify that receipt from Apple sandbox verification url we're getting more than one In-Apps in array (we're doing only one in-app at time).

How can we remove unused inApps from this list as we have to verify iterate this list each time on server side.

Here is the receipt from Apple:

{"status":0, "environment":"Sandbox",
"receipt":{"receipt_type":"ProductionSandbox", "adam_id":0, "app_item_id":0, "bundle_id": "com", "application_version":"256", "download_id":0, "version_external_identifier":0, "receipt_creation_date":"2018-02-15 10:52:15 Etc/GMT", "receipt_creation_date_ms":"1518691935000", "receipt_creation_date_pst":"2018-02-15 02:52:15 America/Los_Angeles", "request_date":"2018-02-15 10:54:05 Etc/GMT", "request_date_ms":"1518692045560", "request_date_pst":"2018-02-15 02:54:05 America/Los_Angeles", "original_purchase_date":"2013-08-01 07:00:00 Etc/GMT", "original_purchase_date_ms":"1375340400000", "original_purchase_date_pst":"2013-08-01 00:00:00 America/Los_Angeles", "original_application_version":"1.0",

The behavior is by design. We receive bundled receipts from Apple like that. In the future we may consider parsing the receipt per product, but we generally try not to impact store default behavior.

 

How this pending array is calculated, like how these items grow when I am doing in-app?
Also is there any way I can consume or clear these pending in-apps?

 

Not sure what you mean by unused. These are the products that the user has purchased. This is the information we receive from Apple.

 

According to Apple documentation: The in-app purchase receipt for a non-consumable product, auto-renewable subscription, non-renewing subscription, or free subscription remains in the receipt indefinitely.

We're doing consumable in-app which is supposed to be removed from the receipt once user consumed it. But we're getting more than one items in this case. So my question is how can we clear this array list which is supposed to contain only last purchased item (consumable only).
