iOS in App Purchasing First Attempt and First Problem

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

Hi All,
We are implementing the inapp purchase in our game, but when
we tried to test it failed with the message "Product Not Avilable in the
Store".
We know that we do not have to log with the TEST USER made in itunes connect, so when we try to simulate the purchasing we are not requested to log with an account. So something is wrong...

We are pretty much sure we have put all the Bundle ID and Product information correctly, but something is not workin properly over there...

We did it all...Do we need to SUBMIT the App and the Item? I dont think so ?

phongtt · September 2012

I think we need to submit the app and the item first. That's what I've done for my 2 released apps. I haven't experimented other ways.

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

Submitting doesen't mean sen dit for Appstore right?

phongtt · September 2012

No, it just meant we have to create the app on itunesconnect and also create the item there. We used test account in sandbox mode,

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

Yes we are doin that

Ye thanks we did all...I think we are missing something in the LUA code tough

Testing IAP is a little bit tricky. Here are my steps and checklist while implementing IAP:

1. Test on real device.
2. Don't use jailbroken device.
3. If you're using Gideros Player, make sure Bundle ID of player matches your App ID. (appname-info.plist > Bundle Identifier)
4. Create a test user (iTunes Connect > Manage Users > Test User) and use it as store account. Preferably, while creating the test user, use an email account specifically created for this purpose (e.g. testiap@twelve...com). Also while creating, select iTunes Store same with your country (e.g. Italy)
4. Login with your newly created account on your device. After logged in, you should enter all your info (name, address, credit card).
5. After adding your app (iTunes Connect > Manage Your Applications > Add New App), go to "Manage In-App Purchases" and create some. My test bundle ID is com.giderosmobile.iaptest therefore I've created 2 in-app purchases as com.giderosmobile.iaptest.consumable and com.giderosmobile.iaptest.nonconsumable. I'm attaching a screenshot.
6. The contract for paid applications must be in effect in order to receive data about the in app purchases configured.

And this is my test code (almost taken from reference manual)

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
 
local function onTransaction(event)
    print("payment.productIdentifier", event.payment.productIdentifier)
    print("payment.quantity", event.payment.quantity)
 
    print("transaction.state", event.transaction.state)
 
    if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.FAILED then
        print("error", event.errorCode, event.errorDescription)
    else        
        print("transaction.identifier", event.transaction.identifier)
        print("transaction.date", event.transaction.date)
 
        if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.PURCHASED then
            print("transaction.receipt", event.transaction.receipt)
        end
 
        if event.transaction.state == StoreKit.RESTORED then
            print("originalTransaction.identifier", event.originalTransaction.identifier)
            print("originalTransaction.date", event.originalTransaction.date)
        end
 
        -- unlock the functionality purchased by the user
    end
 
    storekit:finishTransaction(event.transaction)
end
 
 
storekit:addEventListener(Event.REQUEST_PRODUCTS_COMPLETE, onRequestProductsComplete)
storekit:addEventListener(Event.TRANSACTION, onTransaction)
 
 
storekit:requestProducts({
	"com.giderosmobile.iaptest.consumable",
	"com.giderosmobile.iaptest.nonconsumable",
})
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, function()
	storekit:purchase("com.giderosmobile.iaptest.consumable", 1)
end)

And here is the output of requestProducts.

products:
title	Consumable
description	Consumable description...
price	0.99
productIdentifier	com.giderosmobile.iaptest.consumable
title	Non-Consumable
description	Non-Consumable description...
price	1.99
productIdentifier	com.giderosmobile.iaptest.nonconsumable
invalidProductIdentifiers:

And here is the output of my purchase:

payment.productIdentifier	com.giderosmobile.iaptest.consumable
payment.quantity	1
transaction.state	purchased
transaction.identifier	1000000055987171

And I've done my tests on iPod 2nd gen (iOS 4.2.1) and iPod 4th gen (iOS 5.1.1).

phongtt · September 2012

From my experience:

No need to register full information for the test account. Just use it directly when the game ask. In order to do so, we have to log out of our real account first, and don't log in with the test account in phone's setting page.

atilim · September 2012

@phongtt oh I see. thanks for the tip

(If you login from Settings > Store > Sign In, you need to enter full user info to continue.)

alexzheng · September 2012

where and how to save the purchased products is safe?

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

We still get INVALID IDENTIFIER...

phongtt · September 2012

Mmm...

- Are you testing on jailbroken device?
- What's the status of your IAP item in iTunesConnect?
- Do you have clearer error description of the issue?

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

- Are you testing on jailbroken device?

NO

- What's the status of your IAP item in iTunesConnect?

Ready to Submit

- Do you have clearer error description of the issue?

When we press, it go to connect to the store and the the Invalid identifier with the iap name

atilim · September 2012

Did you create your test user and are you using it at iTunes Store?

btw, as a final solution, I can recommend installing a fresh iOS to your test device. Btw, do you have more than one test device? Do you get the same error for each of them?

Giuseppe_Crugliano · September 2012

Yes I'm using the test user, we have several iOS devices, but not tested on others tough.

mertocan · September 2012

Same error I have. I spent my all day but I couldn't find the solution.

products:
invalidProductIdentifiers:
com.renklihayatlar.renklihayatlar.nonconsumable2
payment.productIdentifier com.renklihayatlar.renklihayatlar.nonconsumable2
payment.quantity 1
transaction.state failed
error 0 Can not connect to iTunes Store.

atilim · September 2012

@mertocan If it's ok for you, can you give a temporary password to your test user and PM me:
1. Test user login/password
2. Your application bundle ID
3. Your product IDs

And although I'm not exactly sure, your bundle ID and product IDs should be compatible. I mean if your bundle ID is com.giderosmobile.myapp, your product IDs should be like com.giderosmobile.myapp.XXX.

mertocan · September 2012

Bundle ID and product ID is compatible. I dont know where is the problem now :S Product Status is ready to Submit. Project Status is prepare for Upload

atilim · September 2012

I've got your PM.

I can get your product list and make a purchase without a problem. I've only changed the bundle ID of player and deployed to device. And then use the example code above. I cannot predict what's wrong on your side.

Today I'll install Xcode 4.5 and make a test on iOS 6 also.

atilim · September 2012

On the other hand, storekit.mm plugin is a basic Lua wrapper around StoreKit class. If you get invalidProductIdentifiers then something is wrong about your configuration.

mertocan · September 2012

I think so. Okay I will check it thanks alot

atilim · September 2012

I've added a 6th item to the list above (http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1689/ios-in-app-purchasing-first-attempt-and-first-problem#Item_10)

hgvyas123 · October 2012

is this compulsory we can not use jailbroken device with the above code i even can not get the list of products on the function onRequestProductsComplete was this my mistake or because of jb device?

atilim · October 2012

if you use a jb device, you cannot even get the product list.

hgvyas123 · October 2012

if you use a jb device, you cannot even get the product list.

ohhh no let me restore the device and thnx for info

hgvyas123 · October 2012

ok now i have normal device and i still can not get the list of products actually i get #event.products = 0

also when i tap on the screen i get

event.errorDescription = "can not connect to itunes store"
and event.error code = 3

from onTransaction function. what does this mean server down?

hgvyas123 · October 2012

ok its working now i had the issue no 6
