in-app-purchase example

unlying · August 2012

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 · September 2012

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.

phongtt · September 2012

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.

I not understant de setp 2

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.

where i change the bundle id of gideros player?

Another question..

I creating a new IAP for my game. a need publish this on app store to test on my divice?

tks

hgvyas123 · March 2013

@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 · March 2013

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

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

But

ar2rsawseen · May 2013

@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 · May 2013

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 · May 2013

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 · May 2013

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 · May 2013

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

ar2rsawseen · May 2013

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 · May 2013

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 · May 2013

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 · June 2013

@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.

And i have to use call storekit:purchase("com.debia.rebusisto",1), yes?
I have error:"Can't connect to the iTunes Store".

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 · August 2013

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 · August 2013

@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 · August 2013

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.

fxone · August 2013

@unlying [EDIT:] misunderstood

unlying · August 2013

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

ar2rsawseen · August 2013

@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 · August 2013

Mmm... I have no idea yet

sorry.

unlying · August 2013

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