In-App Purchases Question

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hello,

    I have read elsewhere that we need to store the information of whether a user purchased in-app content locally, through an INI file or other means.

    My question is, what happens if a user wipes their phone and re-downloads the application? Does Apple keep track of in-app purchases on their end, thus allowing them to retain their purchases, or is it all lost?

    I am trying to decide whether to create an online database to keep track of purchased content. This would require users to create a username and password, though, and would be overkill if Apple keeps track of this information on their end.

    Thanks.

  • I have yet to implement in-app purchase myself, but where did you read about the need of involving INI? I'm quite sure that all purchases are being stored by Apple under the user's Apple account and will be automatically retrieved from Apple's servers.

    Yes, but only non-consumables and subscriptions. For the rest, you will need to store an INI somewhere (iOS 5 cloud storage is not yet implemented on the MMF runtime afaik).
