RE: In-App Purchase Subscription

Lagi,

You can test purchasing by creating test sandbox iTunes user on
iTunesConnect. Then login in to it on your test device. You can then
purchase without cost. The only test you can't do is a dispute cancelation.
That you need the low tier test on a live iTunes account to fully test.

Hi Heather,

Todd is Au Fait with all that, it wasn't purchases that were the problem it
was subscriptions , Todd wrapped that up it up easily on the Google Play
Store..
In the end I Googled(Duck Duck Go'd actually)  and found a MUCH easier way
by enabling server to server notifications.

So with a bit of Node.JS on the server,  the code doesn't depend on language
features  for subscriptions and can be used in any language than can do a
HTTP POST.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/in-app_purchase/enabling_
server-to-server_notifications

https://tjaart.gitlab.io/post/implementing_app_transport_security_on_nodejs/


Hope this helps others.

Oh and thanks to Ralph for the low cost tier trick - seems we have to put
the App on the store before we can test.

RE: In-App Purchase Subscription

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

2 quick notes on iOS in-app products.
1) DO NOT add a screen shot until you are getting ready to submit. The
in-app product will time-out and you can't test.
2) Apple has never provided a facility to test a purchase that the user
disputes and gets canceled in the sandbox. The only way to test is to put
the app into production using a "special" product for tier 1 and pay the
$.33 US royalty every time you test. The big rub here is that Apple only
allows users it dispute and cancel an in-app product purchase a few times
before you will be cut-off from disputes. Apple... go figure.

My code is so big(bloated with some spaghetti I'm embarrassed to say) and
tied so tightly into my app and handles both PlayStore/iOS, I don't know if
it will be much help.
You basically have to enable and wait for and process the various messages
that you will get as a user navigates thru the Apple purchase prompts. I
would start by testing in the sandbox and logging the various messages to
get the feel on how the process progresses.

Hello LiveCode community,

Does anyone have a sample of selling a subscription using LiveCode's In-App
Purchase functionality? We are looking to sell an app with a monthly fee. I
have it set up in Apple correct, but getting errors in testing.
