Anyone else having issues with sandbox receipt validations today? (Apr 6)

What receipt are you trying to verify?

Have you read the various issues described above?

/ - (NSData *)appStoreReceiptForPaymentTransaction:(SKPaymentTransaction *)transaction { NSData *receiptData = nil; / if (kiOS7) {

NSURL *receiptFileURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]; receiptData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:receiptFileURL]; /

} else

{

receiptData = transaction.transactionReceipt; /

}

return receiptData;

}

I'm using following code to read the JSON receipt:

NSData *receipt = [self appStoreReceiptForPaymentTransaction:transaction];

NSError *error = nil;

NSDictionary *receiptDict = [receipt dictionaryFromPlistData:&error];

NSString *transactionPurchaseInfo = [receiptDict objectForKey:@"purchase-info"];

NSString *decodedPurchaseInfo = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[[NSData dataFromBase64String:transactionPurchaseInfo] bytes]];

NSDictionary *purchaseInfoDict = [[decodedPurchaseInfo dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]

dictionar

yFromPlistData:&error];

NSString *transactionID = [purchaseInfoDict objectForKey:@"transaction-id"];

NSString *purchaseDateString = [purchaseInfoDict objectForKey:@"purchase-date"];

NSString *signature = [receiptDict objectForKey:@"signature"];

NSString *signatureDecoded = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[[NSData dataFromBase64String:signature] bytes]]; / NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"];

NSDate *purchaseDate = [dateFormat dateFromString:[purchaseDateString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"Etc/" withString:@""]];

NSLog(@"Raw receipt content: \n%@", [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[receipt bytes]]);

NSLog(@"Purchase Info: %@", purchaseInfoDict);

NSLog(@"Transaction ID: %@", transactionID);

NSLog(@"Purchase Date: %@", purchaseDate);

NSLog(@"Signature: %@", signatureDecoded);

The

dictionaryFromPlistData:

NSDictionary

transactionReceipt

nil

appStoreReceiptURL

- (NSDictionary *)dictionaryFromPlistData:(NSError **)outError

{

NSError *error;

NSDictionary *dictionaryParsed = [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListWithData:self options:NSPropertyListImmutable format:nil error:&error];

if (!dictionaryParsed)

{

if (error)

{

*outError = error;

} return nil;

}

return dictionaryParsed;

}

Is this issue happening in the sandbox or production environment? What is the status of the request when you send the base64 encoded applicationReceipt to the iTunes Validation server? I don't see in the code sample where the receipt is encoded, then sent to the validation server.

According to the last paragraph here:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/ValidateAppStoreReceipt/Chapters/ValidateRemotely.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010573-CH104-SW1

If the receipt being validated is for the latest renewal, the value for

latest_receipt

receipt-data

latest_receipt_info

receipt

But my

latest_receipt

receipt-data NEVER match, not even for the first subscription. The status returns null meaning the receipt is verified from apple server but the receipt I pass in the request is different from the one returned in response.

Is the documentation old/wrong, or I am doing something wrong? 3 days I am trying to figure this out but have not found any posts anywhere. Thanks for your hlep.

This only works for old iOS6 style receipts (transaction.transactionReceipt) and those receipts are now deprecated. The system sometimes (but not always) returns these fields for the newer receipts.

Then if latest_receipt and latest_receipt_info are for old IOS6 style receipts, how do I get the subscription renewal information back from the Apple response. I am posting my receipt request and response here, if I ignore the latest_receipt and latest_receipt_info fields I am left only with the receipt->in_app field and that is not returning any renewal information, it only has the initial transaction. The status is always 0, because the receipt is a valid receipt although it might be expired. The only field that has renewal info is latest_receipt_info array which seems to be for IOS6 style receipts and sometimes there, sometimes not.

Could you please help me understand how I should interpret the response for renewable subscription types. I looked at every single post/article and didn't find clearly how to do this for IOS7 style receipts. Thanks.
