I have in-app purchases in my app, and new to iOS 8 are "deferred" transactions, partially described in a tech note
I understand what it does and that I need to not block the UI, and update my UI to reflect that the transaction state is deferred. But what am I supposed to place in the method -(void)transactionDeferred:(SKPaymentTransaction *)transaction
to disregard the transaction for the time being?
Do I only have update the UI? Also what should the content of the UI be? Do I need to replace the price label with something like "Your purchase is deferred"? I don't think there is a way to test this, at least I haven't seen anything about it with my sandbox test account. If there was a way to go through the process and see how it works, it would make a lot more sense to me.
What I am doing is:
- Stopping indicator animation
- Activating buy and restore buttons
- Showing an alert:
Waiting For Approval
Thank you! You can continue to use Altershot while your purchase is pending an approval from your parent.
I watched WWDC 14 video. Apple says you should't block UI and allow to click on buy button again. I think we need this in case parent miss alert, so child can send one more.
What I know is that we should not call following method for deferred transactions:
[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction:transaction];
The code bellow will allow you to check if the product ID you want to sell is in deferred mode. Use it to update the UI accordingly.
if ([[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue].transactions count] > 0) {
for (SKPaymentTransaction *transaction in [SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue].transactions) {
if ([@"your.product.id" isEqualToString:transaction.payment.productIdentifier]) {
if (transaction.transactionState == SKPaymentTransactionStateDeferred) {
// update UI that you are still waiting for parent approval. You'll get "PURCHASED" if parent approved or "FAILD" if parent declined or 24 hours passed since request.
}
break;
}
}
