in-app purchase (IAP) on iOS

[cookienomnom]

Hey y'all,

I've successfully implemented IAP on Android and am now trying to implement IAP on iOS.
I've tried all the combinations of 'Registering the product', 'Triggering IAP', and 'Mac Identity' below.
However, I just can't get iOS purchase dialog to appear....

Could someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix it?
Thank you sooooooo much in advance!!! =)


[Registering the product]
(1)
init python:
iap.register("halfintro02",identifier = "halfintro02")
(2)
define halfintro02 = iap.register(
product = "halfintro02",
identifier = "com.company.game.halfintro02",
google = "halfintro02",
ios = "halfintro02",
)

[Triggering IAP]
(1)
menu:
"Buy This Special Offer":
$iap.Purchase ("halfintro02")
"No Thanks":
jump chap1

if iap.has_purchased("halfintro02"):
jump chap2

(2)
menu:
"Buy This Special Offer":
$iap.purchase ("halfintro02")
"No Thanks":
jump chap1

if iap.has_purchased("halfintro02"):
jump chap2


[Mac Identity - option.rpy]
(1)
#define build.mac_identity = "Developer ID Application: Company Name (XXXXXXXXXX)"
(2)
define build.mac_identity = "Company Name (XXXXXXXXXX)"
(3)
define build.mac_identity = "company.name@gmail.com (XXXXXXXXXX)"

Update:
In the xcode console output, it says:
Validated product identifiers.
Starting validation.
Already validated.

It seems like the product is valid but still can't figure out why iOS native purchase dialog doesn't show..........
It's not that the product has been already purchased either, because iap.has_purchased() returns false.
I've tried both using Testflight and Sandbox account.

I'd really appreciate if anyone has any idea/suggestion on how to solve this issue.

Stupid question on my part but did you turn the iap on your Xcode project ON?

[cookienomnom]

There is no such thing as a stupid question =) and Yes! I've turned IAP on on my xcode project. Thanks for checking!

[Meg']

Did you manage to solve this?

edit: I don't see any iap.restore in your code. This could be the cause of your problem (I'm not sure, though). Mine is different because it's about consumables

Here is the code of Jibus:

Code: Select all

    label iap_chapter2:
        if iap.has_purchased("iap_chapter2") or iap.has_purchased("iap_chapter2_ipad"):
            jump chapter2
        else:
            jump ad_chapter2

    label ad_chapter2:
        s "{i}Continue the Story...{/i}"
        menu:
            "Continue":
                $ iap.purchase("iap_chapter2")
                jump iap_chapter2
            "I already bought this item":
                $ iap.restore()
                jump iap_chapter2
            "Return to the main menu":
                call screen main_menu

Here is the link toward the subject in question to see the full code

edit2:

After having tried different things for several days (including today during around 4hours), I understood one thing:
the iap system is already included in ren'py.

So, I ended up with a code looking like this for my part:

Code: Select all

  
init python:
  
    iap.register(product="boireA", identifier= "com.gmail.meggout.lpdv.boireA", consumable=True)
    iap.register(product="bainA", identifier= "com.gmail.meggout.lpdv.bainA", consumable=True)
    iap.register(product="dormirA", identifier= "com.gmail.meggout.lpdv.dormirA", consumable=True)

    iap.has_purchased(product="boireA")
    iap.has_purchased(product="bainA")
    iap.has_purchased(product="dormirA")

    iap.purchase(product="boireA", interact=True)
    iap.purchase(product="bainA", interact=True)
    iap.purchase(product="dormirA", interact=True)

and I'm calling the iap action with iap.Purchase(product="product name", success ="persistent.AvailableEnergy += quantity we bought")

My problem is the same as yours:
Xcode informs me about this ==> "Starting validation. Already validated."

Then nothing happens.

Can someone help us solve this? Thanks a lot!

For the people asking about this: Are you using a test identity on your device? If you're using your normal account, you already own the purchase, and no dialogue will appear.

[Meg']

Thank you for your answer! Yes, I'm using a tester account via the X-code simulator. I guess using it on Testflight is better?

Also does it mean that both my code and cookienomnom are correct?

[PyTom]

The 2 code in the first post looks basically right. I'd have written it as:

Code: Select all

[Registering the product]
init python:
    define halfintro02 = iap.register(product = "halfintro02", identifier = "com.company.game.halfintro02)

menu:
    "Buy This Special Offer":
        $ iap.purchase ("halfintro02")
    "No Thanks":
        jump chap1

[Meg']

So if I write mine like this, is it correct? ==>

Code: Select all

init python:
    
    iap.register(product="boireA",identifier="com.gmail.meggout.lpdv.boireA",consumable=True)

label boireA:

menu:
    "Buy 500 energy?":
        $ iap.purchase ("boireA")
        
        if iap.has_purchased("boireA"):
            $ persistent.EnergyAvailable+=500
            
            "Thank you for your purchase! 500 points were added to your energy!"
    
        return()

    "Don't buy":
        return()

Mine being a consumable, is there any difference with the code for a non-consumable product? Or is there something like I saw in common00iap with "return iap.consume(product)"?

[PyTom]

Ren'Py doesn't support consumable purchases, only unlocks.

[Meg']

What do you mean by "only unlocks"? It is written in the documentation that consumable purchases are supported on iOS, is it not the case?

[Meg']

Ok, I am still getting this message ==>

"Starting validations.
Already validated."

I have tested it on my device while being logged out but I don't get any dialogue box for the purchase. I understand that we "own" the purchase but when logged out, this is not the case so what is preventing the dialogue box from appearing??

Is it related to consumables???

[Meg']

No one to help?

[Meg']

Be it consumable or non-consumable purchase, I'm still getting the:

"Starting validation.
Already validated."

So, what could be the problem?

I don't have any dialogue box appearing. No, I don't own the purchase ==> I'm logged out. I have a Sandbox tester account that I could use if only the dialogue box to make the purchase wanted to appear...

So after a few weeks, an answer maybe? Please?

[cookienomnom]

Sorry Meg... I just saw this thread.
Were you able to figure out what's causing the issue?

One theory I have is.. Apple requires registration of ITIN if an individual/company wants to sell via IAP - regardless of whether the individual/company is based in the US or not.
I ran into some trouble getting ITIN and wasn't able to complete the registration with Apple. Have you completed registration by any chance?
