Re: Account validation in CocoaTouch for the purchased app

2011-12-22 Thread John Joyce
 
 given an app is sold on iTunes, is there a way for that app to find out 
 which email address was used for the iTunes account when it was purchased?
 
 I don't believe so. As far as I know, the only way to find that out is to ask 
 the user.
 
Keep in mind that although an AppleID is required to be formatted like an email 
address, the actual email address associated could be very different.
The details of an AppleID account are probably not available to you, and 
certainly shouldn't be.
Also, you probably should not be trying to gather the user's AppleID 
information.
Every purchased app knows which AppleID it belongs to, but that is private to 
Apple and you cannot access that.

No, it doesn't. I have an Apple ID with a space in it and no @ or host name 
portion. This may be a requirement for new Apple IDs, but it wasn't always that 
way nor is there any requirement that they be changed.

You are correct, it used to be possible to create them that way, but all new 
ones require the email address format, hence the present tense used.

Account validation in CocoaTouch for the purchased app

Hi,

given an app is sold on iTunes, is there a way for that app to find out which 
email address was used for the iTunes account when it was purchased?

Thanks
Alex
