In App Purchases: Subscription receipt verification (iOS)

[lunelasuis]

Hi there. I’m looking to implement simple subscription code, but it turns out that subscriptions aren’t that simple. Here’s a good article to start

For now I understand that I need store the status of subscription, order id, and last payment time locally and check periodically with App Store if the subscription is still valid. But it seems that juce::InAppPurchases lacks necessary methods for this or they are hidden internally (verifyReceipt).

restoreProductsBoughtList doesn’t fit here as it invokes asking for user’s Apple Id, and we don’t wan’t that at each start of the app. All manuals say that this method should be invoked manually by user. Similar problem is discussed in this topic, but there are no answers at all:

In App Purchases

Hi. I’m trying to set up probably the simplest instance of In App Purchases (IOS) but am having some difficulties. All I want to be able to do, is set up an IAP which once purchased would set a bool flag, and that is all. I want to use the flag to run the additional code for the additional features. Then of course be able to retrieve the confirmation that the purchase had been made on startup. I’ve tried following the IAP demo but it’s more complicated than I need and I’m unsure what the essen…

My questions: is it possible to setup subscription feature with juce::InAppPurchases or do I need to develop my own wrapper around StoreKit? Can someone share some insights/details of implementing subscriptions in Juce environment?

Thanks
