Hello,
I have a quick question about restoring previously purchased in app purchases. Since this is a requirement by apple to have a restore button, what would the correct way of doing this be? I read somewhere that the command GetInAppPurchaseAvailable will do this.

However this command will return 0 if you are not logged in. The problem I am having is that you cannot "officially" log in with a test user account. so I have no way of knowing if it will work in the final release.

I know TGC has been using the in-app purchase commands, would it be possible if I could get a code snippet demonstrating a restore of previous purchases? Or is the way I am currently using ok?

the way I am using currently is ...




Thank you for your time

Thank you very much for responding baxslash, did you include an actual restore button separate from the purchase button? I have a working purchase button that unlocks the content as expected but I read in the apple docs that you are required to have a way to just restore previous purchases. (in case of an uninstall of the app)

I have a similar method like yours in my app but if I have a fresh install getinapppurchaseavailable always reports 0 unless I go through the original process of buying it through in app purchase activate

If a purchase has been successful on the current account it should show as being available using GetInAppPurchaseAvailable. I'm not sure what the problem is with it constantly showing 0...

A restore button would just check which IAP's are available and should not have to activate any purchases.

If you can replicate the issue please post it on the Google bug board: http://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/list

Thanks for your time, when I get a chance tonight I will use your exact function. If the problem persists I will post back here and on the bug report. I am using 1088 if it makes a difference. I don't know if it's a problem with apple test accounts but it's really strange hopefully its something I'm doing wrong as I have to submit this Friday

Hey baxslash I thought I would give a quick update on my progress.
After testing and retesting and doing alot of research on google, I have come up with the conclusion that the IAP restore does not work in the sandbox mode for testing.

I can purchase content just fine. after I purchase it GetInAppPurchaseAvailable will report 1 and stay that way. If i delete the app and put it back on my device it reports 0 until I buy it again. It seems other people have had other similar issues with the sandbox environment. So I will submit as planned and see if apple flags it.

I appreciate the time you took to help me.
