restore purchases

We have a pretty simple setup: iOS 14 as min target only auto-renewable subscriptions Apple S2S integration Here is, in short, our flow: APP: We register a PaymentQueue observer early in the application lifecycle and whenever a newly purchased transaction is received, we send the receipt to the backend for validation. This happens regardless of whether the purchase was user-initiated (i.e. for an actual purchase) or not (i.e. autorenewal). BACKEND: The backend receives the receipt, validates it against verifyReceipt Apple's endpoint, and stores relevant information into the database. This information gets sent back to the app over time in order to let it figure out whether the user is subscribed, and block relevant content if he is not. Also, we continue poll Apple's endpoint over time as suggested in the well-known WWDC 2018 session. S2S SERVICE: whenever we receive a notification from Apple, we take the latest receipt base64 data, validate it against verifyReceipt endpoint, and th

If no receipt is found, it is normally recommended to issue a refresh request. However, it seems to me that a cleaner UI is offered by simply letting the user do restore purchase.I am wondering if there is some scenario in which a refresh request is needed?EDIT: I am working with a non-consumable, non-subscription IAP.

Hi Everyone,We recently implemented in app purchases on our app and I am experiencing some strange behavior. Using a sandbox user credentials I am able to purchase a non consumable product perfectly fine. However every time I try to restore that purchase, I get the following error :Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=0 Cannot connect to iTunes Store UserInfo=0x170464b40 {NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot connect to iTunes Store}. Here is how I initiate a restore : @IBAction func restorepurchasesnow(sender: AnyObject) { if transactionInProgress { return } SKPaymentQueue.defaultQueue().addTransactionObserver(self) SKPaymentQueue.defaultQueue().restoreCompletedTransactions() restorepurchase.setTitle(NSLocalizedString(settings.inprogress, comment: Transaction in progress), forState: UIControlState.Normal) self.transactionInProgress = true println(Trying to restore purchases) }Has anyone experienced the same thing ? Does anyone know how to fix it ?Thank you !

I have an app where I want to implement in-app purchase for non-consumable product. Per Apple's in-app purchase guidelines, I have to provide option to restore purchases. Also in my app each user needs to register with an account, and this is what bothers me:Let's say Jon Doe has registered in my app with account X and made purchase, and on my server side I have created record of this. Now Jon decides to create new account in my app - X1 and he decides to restore purchases and he enters his iTunes password and everything is fine, but account X1 is not aacount X in my app, he should not receive this product again (for different account) based on same iTunes purchase.I could not find anything in apple guidelines about this, so my question is can I reject restoring purchase for account X1 because initial purchase was made by account X even though X and X1 are actually same person - Jon (using different accounts in my app) but using same iTunes accoun

I want to make a purchase/restore button for my in app purchase. I want to check if restoring fails, and if so then prompt to purchase. I am using SKPaymentQueue.default().restoreCompletedTransactions() to restore purchases. If any one knows this would be a big help. Also please let me know if for some reason apple doesn't want the purchase and restore button to be the same button. Thankyou
