Recipets on iOS before restoring purchases

Hello,

I am using the latest IAP package for 2017.2.1p4 (1.20.1). To make I am not doing something incorrectly, I used the IAP Demo scene, and only changed the products that are added. This is the scenario -

1. Purchase a non-consumable product on the app, and kill it.
2. Run app again, initialising Unity IAP.
3. Look for the receipt of the product you've previously purchased.

Expected : receipt member of Product should not be null or empty
Actual : it is. Only after successfully restoring purchases the receipt is populated.

This happens only with non-consumables. With subscription I do get the receipt right after OnInitialised.

This issue is relevant to me only on iOS (on Android it automatically calls restore purchases so no problems there), also should be mentioned I am working in a sandbox environment (i.e. testing iap environment).

I need this receipt before RestorePurchase because I need to detect refunds and potentially re-add monetisation.

Thanks,
Shmulik.

 

The code I used in case anyone asks

 

This is the expected behavior, depending on what you mean by "purchase [...] on the app, and kill it":

Closing the app should not delete purchase receipts, whereas uninstalling does. Android does restore purchases automatically indeed, but only on the first app launch after reinstalling. When uninstalling the app on iOS, the app receipt gets deleted with it, requiring to call restore purchases on the next app install.

If this is not what you are experiencing, then there is something wrong. Source: our Simple IAP System asset used in several live games.

 

I do not uninstall it, just kill it (i.e. close it completely) and restart it. And in this case I do expect to have the receipt but I don't on iOS.

 

You won't! You need to track purchases on the device. Inventory management is something we are considering for a future release

 

Just to make sure

1. I buy an item, I now have access to its receipt through Product.receipt
2. I close the app and restart it
3. If I dont restore purchases, I should not except Product.receipt to be there? (if so, how do I know if there was a refund?)

Thanks

 

Where are you checking the receipt? You won't get a ProcessPurchase callback, if that is what you mean. Refunds are an issue, the stores do not provide a callback mechanism. So we can't support refunds.
