in-app-purchase example

unlying

I'm really-really bad in reading manuals. I know that it is only my problem, but if anybody can share a simple sample with in-app-purchase it will be great.
Just an image that can be purchased and variable become 1 from 0.
I saw code in reference manual, but...
Sorry for my question, but i'm stuck on it and can't go throught.

Game finished, but i stuck on this:(

1. Set up your iTunes connect. You can follow any tutorial. I think Ray Wenderlich's tutorial is really good: http://www.raywenderlich.com/2797/introduction-to-in-app-purchases

2. In this tutorial, you set a bundle identifier. Change the Gideros Player's bunde id to it and redeploy to your device so that you can do tests with Gideros Player.

3. Try to retrieve your product list with this code (don't forget to change your product identifiers)

local function onRequestProductsComplete(event) if event.errorCode ~= nil then print("error", event.errorCode, event.errorDescription) return end   print("products:") for i=1,#event.products do print("title", event.products[i].title) print("description", event.products[i].description) print("price", event.products[i].price) print("productIdentifier", event.products[i].productIdentifier) end   print("invalidProductIdentifiers:") for i=1,#event.invalidProductIdentifiers do print(event.invalidProductIdentifiers[i]) end end   storekit:addEventListener(Event.REQUEST_PRODUCTS_COMPLETE, onRequestProductsComplete)   storekit:requestProducts({ "com.raywenderlich.inapprage.drummerrage", "com.raywenderlich.inapprage.itunesconnectrage", "com.raywenderlich.inapprage.nightlyrage", "com.raywenderlich.inapprage.studylikeaboss", "com.raywenderlich.inapprage.updogsadness"})

After you complete these steps, then ask here again for further ones

I couldnt understand how can we upload items that we will sell ?

MikeHart

IAP is only used to sells content, verify a purchase and deal with the monetary transaction. HOW the user gets the purchased content is totally the responsibility of yourself. You either ship it with the app directly and then activate it (this is the usual way I think) OR you load it up to a webspace of your own and then download it to the device via the internet. At no point you can upload your content that you want to sell to apple.

Afaik, Apple has recently supported hosting contents on their server.
(But I haven't tried it yet)

I haven't tried it either, but it's new for iOS 6, so I think if you want to support devices that aren't upgraded to iOS 6, then you won't be able to take advantage of it.

tks

@pedroluis5

you can change bundle identifier from xcode [summary or info tab] you don't need to publish the app but you have to setup you iap products in itunes also the bundleidentifier must have to be same in both in your xcode and in itunes

you can take a look at
http://www.raywenderlich.com/21081/introduction-to-in-app-purchases-in-ios-6-tutorial

there is no need to understand coding part as you are using gideros but still worth to look at this

pedroluis5

Tks @hgvyas123

How can i test IAP on gideros player run on iphone?

This a code:

require("storekit")

local function onRequestProductsComplete(event)
if event.errorCode ~= nil then
print("error", event.errorCode, event.errorDescription)
return
end

print("products:")
for i=1,#event.products do
print("title", event.products[i].title)
print("description", event.products[i].description)
print("price", event.products[i].price)
print("productIdentifier", event.products[i].productIdentifier)
end

print("invalidProductIdentifiers:")
for i=1,#event.invalidProductIdentifiers do
print(event.invalidProductIdentifiers[i])
end
end

storekit:addEventListener(Event.REQUEST_PRODUCTS_COMPLETE, onRequestProductsComplete)

storekit:requestProducts({"com.FlipFlopLab.NewSlidePuzzle.UnlockLevels"})


it always return erro invalidProductIdentifiers.

On itunes connect the IAD status is ready to submit

I confuse

pedroluis5

Now a understand the step 2..i change bundle identifier of gideros player project on xcode. and now work the IAP...tks people

I have same message:"invalidProductIdentifiers"
But for me it looks like bundle identifier is ok.



But

ar2rsawseen

@unlying just to make sure
your app bundle ID is the same as in-app purchase ID?

Bundle ID should be the same, as the Id of the app you created your purchase for. So just checking, if it is true?

unlying

Yes, i have same id for app and for purchase.

I know that there is my fault. I just can't understand where it is.

ar2rsawseen

I don't know how did you create it.
If I for example have an app with bundle ID: com.test.mytestapp
And I create MyTestInApp in-app purchase for it, it's ID will be
com.test.mytestapp.mytestinapp

Unfortunately I have no access to IOS account right now, so can't check it.

ar2rsawseen

Ahh, silly me.
It actually means you are ok.
first it lists the products:
which you have listed

then it lists invalid product identifiers, which you don't have:

print("products:") for i=1,#event.products do print("title", event.products[i].title) print("description", event.products[i].description) print("price", event.products[i].price) print("productIdentifier", event.products[i].productIdentifier) end   print("invalidProductIdentifiers:") for i=1,#event.invalidProductIdentifiers do print(event.invalidProductIdentifiers[i]) end

unlying

Looks like it silly me.
Thanks @ar2rsawseen
Where should i put code for successfull purchase?

ar2rsawseen

Well, we both missed it

local function onTransaction(event)   if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.FAILED then AlertDialog.new("Error occured", event.errorDescription, "Ok"):show() else if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.PURCHASED then --unlock content here AlertDialog.new("Purchase Completed", "Purchase successfully completed", "Ok"):show() end   if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.RESTORED then --restore purchase here end   -- or you can do it here if purchase and restore is the same for you end   storekit:finishTransaction(event.transaction) end storekit:addEventListener(Event.TRANSACTION, onTransaction)

unlying

And i have to use call storekit:purchase("com.debia.rebusisto",1), yes?
I have error:"Can't connect to the iTunes Store".
App Store works ok.
Can it be because i don't have a credit card submitted in my Apple ID?

ar2rsawseen

So it can retrieve the list of products, but can't make purchase?

If list is retrieved it's definitely can connect to iTunes, so the error should be somewhere else. I think it would have brought up the dialog or something to enter credit card information.

Unfortunately right now I have no idea

krisis

@unlying - are you using an iTunes Test Account and following Apple's guidelines for testing?
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/13_ManagingIn-AppPurchases/ManagingIn-AppPurchases.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH4-SW3

i.e.
1) logout of App Store under device settings
2) build app to device through XCode
3) when trying to make a purchase it'll specify it's a sandbox environment, then you can use the iTunes Test Account details to complete the purchase.

I have the same problem as you when I login with a normal account, but it's ok to purchase when login in with a test account. Maybe it's just because the status is still Waiting for Screenshot.

unlying

I have a problem with my games now. Sometime user pay for in-app, but get nothing. I have same problem in Google Play, but there it isn't so critical( 1)appstore has more payments 2) In google play developer can refund any payments).
I have about 900 payments for in-app and about 10 reviews+mails about "money left, but no in-game coins".

ar2rsawseen

@unlying well apple have huge problems with the servers lately, so there may be lots of problems on the way.

I remember someone posted on the forum that Apple now requires to put a Restore transactions button somewhere in the app. Most probably just for situations like that, so if user would buy something and not get it, they could try to restore transaction and you could handle it. But that is just a guess.

unlying

It is consumable. Consumable can't be restored.
I'm not sure that this problem is on apple side.
You can read reviews for app here: http://www.appannie.com/app/ios/sostav-slova/reviews/?account_id=67087&page=2
Many people angry about payments.

@unlying [EDIT:] misunderstood

unlying

I don't think that Google In-App Billing will help us with iOS payments.

ar2rsawseen

@phongtt @Nascode and anyone else using IOS in-apps experience anything similar?
Unfortunately I don't have access to IOS dev account right now.
But if it is a common bug, we need to fix it.
If for anyone else everything works ok, then we could help @unlying determine where could be a problem

phongtt

Mmm... I have no idea yet sorry.

unlying

People says that after that transaction phone always request password for account on start.
