Does this work for application purchase as well? #4

Hi @ladeiko, does this also work for application purchase receipt validation, or only for in-app purchase?

What do you mean saying "application purchase receipt validation"?

heymartinadams commented 6 years ago

@ladeiko: not just in-app, but for app purchase. Our app used to only be available via “upfront purchase” (before we changed it to “in-app purchase”)—so you could only download it once you purchased it.

Problem is that when we made that switch to “in-app purchase”, we had no way of validating who had already previously bought the app. So we had to institute a manual transition process.

And today, we occasionally get a few customers who had bought the app years ago, but didn’t upgrade at that time, and think that they have to buy it again via in-app purchase. So I’m looking (again) for a way to validate who previously bought the app via “app purchase” so we can instantly unlock the app for them and they don’t have to contact us manually.

iOS application receipt contains only information about inapp purchases ONLY.

Thank you, @ladeiko 👍
