UWP App Xbox Payments

Hello. Is there anyone who made the game on unity and published it on the Xbox? What API was used for IAP payments? We published our game on the Xbox, and our code that worked in other published games in the store (not for the Xbox) does not work.

We used Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace before. It does not working.

"Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentApp.LoadListingInformationAsync()" returns nothing.

"Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentApp.RequestProductPurchaseAsync(productId)" deducts money from the account but no receipt is sent to verify the payment.

So we tried to use "Windows.Services.Store" namespace. And it works fine on PC, but the same build does not working on XboxOne.

StoreContext.GetDefault() returns nothing.
StoreContext.GetForUser() returns nothing.

So is there anyone with published games and with in-game payments. What API do you use? Are there any problems? How did you decide?

UnityPaymentSystem working and tested for XBox? I heard that it uses Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace. It does not working.

I got an email today from xbox developer support department: "I think you may be using an alternate API that isn’t supposed to be used for games. You should be calling the inventory service or the CatalogService for associated Xbox Live calls, specifically the inventory service if you are making IAP calls. You should start with Microsoft::Xbox::Services::Marketplace::InventoryService as that contains the methods for retrieving inventory quantity and consuming it."

But ... there is no InventoryService defined for UWP App. And I need full service with purchasing IAPs. Not only for retrieving inventory quantity and consuming it.

 

Hello. Yes, I mentioned to the Xbox developer support that I am making a UWP app

https://github.com/microsoft/xbox-l...Services/Common/WinRT/XboxLiveContext_WinRT.h

Code (CSharp):

1. #if TV_API || UNIT_TEST_SERVICES
2. Marketplace::CatalogService^ m_catalogService;
3. Marketplace::InventoryService^ m_inventoryService;
4. EntertainmentProfile::EntertainmentProfileListService^ m_entertainmentProfileListService;
5. #endif

There is no CatalogService and InventoryService defined in XboxLiveContext for UWP App. Only for (TV_API || UNIT_TEST_SERVICES)

 

On XboxOne I obtain StoreContext after signing in to XboxLive as:

m_storeContext = StoreContext::GetForUser(m_user->WindowsSystemUser);

(On PC i got StoreContext as:

m_storeContext = StoreContext::GetDefault();

)

But, when i am asking for StoreProducts:

    auto filter = ref new Platform::Collections::Vector<Platform::String^>();

    filter->Append("UnmanagedConsumable");



    auto ids = ref new Platform::Collections::Vector<Platform::String^>(storeIds);

  

    auto asyncOp = m_storeContext->GetStoreProductsAsync(filter, ids);

    create_task(asyncOp).then([this](task <Windows::Services::Store::StoreProductQueryResult^> t)

    {

i got an aswer with no items:

res->Products->Size == 0 , ExtendedError: -2143330041

the same code on PC returns list of products normally. Everithing is Ok. But on XboxOne there is a problem.

 

It's ok. Build on XboxOne must be first loaded to sendbox (at Microsoft Dev Center) to test it. After publishing it to this sandbox in the store, build must be downloaded right from windows store. Only in this case all are working on XboxOne (products info downloading, products can be purchased). On PC all are working right by local build instalation.

 

Thank you for your support!!! Big thanks!!!

 

Does anyone know how to check unfulfilled to the store "Unmanaged Consumable" items existance with Windows.Services.Store API?

m_storeContext->GetConsumableBalanceRemainingAsync(storeId)

if (result->BalanceRemaining == 0)

- Unfulfilled ?

For example, after game was initialized I will request balance for each store product (iap) by

GetConsumableBalanceRemainingAsync

. And if for some item

result->BalanceRemaining == 0

(the user bought the product, but due to a network error, for example, I did not receive the result of the purchase) I should to fulfill product to the store.

Is such condition

if (result->BalanceRemaining == 0)

proper for understanding for "Unmanaged Consumable" item that user bought the product, but i did not fulfill it to the store?
