[iOS] iap.isValidated() returns false for receipt with "Sandbox validation successful"

[svzi]

Hi there!

I'm trying to use this plugin to validate my in-app-purchases. For Android receipt validation my code is working as expected, but for Apple Sandbox receipts it fails, even when the verbose debug output of the plugin tells me, the the receipt has been validated successfully.

I'm using this code (simplified for demonstration purposes):

await iap.setup();
const res = await iap.validate(receipt);
if (iap.isValidated(res)) {
    // get the purchased items that have not been expired or canceled
    const options: any = {
        ignoreCanceled: true,
        ignoreExpired: true,
    };
    const purchaseDataList: any[] = iap.getPurchaseData(googleRes, options);
    if (purchaseDataList.length > 0) {
        let foundValid: boolean = false;
        purchaseDataList.forEach(purchase => {
            console.log('iap.isValidated(purchase):', iap.isValidated(purchase));
            if (iap.isValidated(purchase)) {
                // found valid receipt
                foundValid = true;
            }
        });
    }
}

This is what my console output returns when validating a sandbox receipt (Apple):

[1566490909230][VERBOSE] <Apple> Sandbox validation successful: { receipt:

  status: 0,

  sandbox: true }

iap.isValidated(purchase): false

What do I need to make iap.isValidated() return true for this receipt?

Any help would be really much appreciated!

Best, Sven

Hello,

iap.isValidated() expects the returned object of iap.validate().

The code below needs to be removed.

console.log('iap.isValidated(purchase):', iap.isValidated(purchase));
            if (iap.isValidated(purchase)) {
                // found valid receipt
                foundValid = true;
            }

Cheers

Just to be clear, this code would be sufficient:

await iap.setup();
const res = await iap.validate(receipt);
if (iap.isValidated(res)) {
    // found valid receipt
    foundValid = true;
}

No need to call iap.getPurchaseData(googleRes, options); and validate each of the returned objects?

[voltrue2]

Hello, Yes the code you pasted above is sufficient. getPurchaseData() is just a support function that may help make your life simpler but not required.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for clarification @voltrue2 !

Sorry, I need to bother you again @voltrue2 !

With the code I mentioned here (https://github.com/voltrue2/in-app-purchase/issues/280#issuecomment-524193545), my validation returns true for a sandbox receipt that should not be true in my opinion:

<Apple> Valid receipt, but has been cancelled (not expired yet)

That receipt is canceled and has expired about 6 days ago. Any idea why this receipt is reported back as valid???

Hello @svzi , Have you resolve this issue? I am facing similar issue. I am always getting true from isValidate()

[svzi]

@jayna456 It probably depends on what you're trying to verify. To you validate subscriptions or simple purchases, or both?

[jayna456]

Hello @svzi , I want to validate subscriptions. I figured out the problem. in getPurchaseData() I am passing ignoreExpired as true. Just removed that and problem solved..
