Interrupted Purchase Not Calling Delegate After Accepting T&C

Interrupted Purchase not calling delegate after accepting T&C

I've been trying to find a solution to this situation for many many weeks. Going thru many SO and also threads from apple forums.

Ref threads:

1. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/674081

4. Apple In App Purchase, Interrupted purchase in sandbox

Per Apple Docs, an interrupted transaction is supposed to send a FAIL then a PURCHASED after the user has agreed to the T&C/continued the interrupted purchase (but in reality it doesn't seem to happen - refer linked threads above)

This is what I ended up with as my current solution. It's not entirely ideal but it's the best (I have found) given the circumstances. Refer to link #3 where the user observed that calling restoreCompletedTransactions() would actually be able to get the transaction observer to process the (completed) interrupted transaction. Doing it this way, the user doesn't have to close (to background) and then open the app back up again. (Note that I tried various methods of calling the transaction observer again but all of it didn't help)

This is my solution.

    private func purchaseFailed(_ transaction: SKPaymentTransaction) {
        var failureReason: String = ""
        var message: String = ""
        var code = Int()
        
        print("\(FormatDisplay.datems(Date())) [IAP] Transcation FAILED/CANCELLED")

            let errorMsg = failureReason
            if message != "" {
                DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {
                    DisplayAlert.presentIapFailed(title: title, message: message, errMsg: errorMsg)
                    
                }
            }
            
            failureReason += " ErrorCode: \(code)"
        }
        
        print("\(FormatDisplay.datems(Date())) [IAP] \(failureReason)")
        print("\(FormatDisplay.datems(Date())) [IAP] -- \(transaction.error?.localizedDescription ?? "")")
        print("\(FormatDisplay.datems(Date())) [IAP] -- \(transaction.error.debugDescription)")
        print("\(FormatDisplay.datems(Date())) [IAP] -- Calling SKPaymentQ.FinishTransaction")
        
        SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction)
        purchaseCompletionHandler?(true)
    }

This is the content of purchaseIapFailed() that calls the restoreCompletedPurchases() once the user presses the OK Button.

static func presentIapFailed(title: String, message: String, errMsg: String) {
    let root = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title,
                                            message: message,
                                            preferredStyle: .alert)
    
    alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel, handler: {( action: UIAlertAction ) in
        print("    displayAlert - presentIapFailed: \(errMsg) - OK Pressed")
        
        // Call RestorePurchases to force replaying the transaction list.
        Medals.store.restorePurchases()
    }))
    
    root?.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

once the transaction is "restored", then it will continue to trigger the subsequent codes to follow through with the purchase, send a notification (of purchase completion/success) and then an alert message will pop up telling the user that the purchase is successful and the consumable has been credited.

Apple App Store Server Notifications Sandbox Server URL Not Working

I think WWDC22 feature Request a Test Notification may help you.

ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/request_a_test_notification?changes=_2

This feat request Apple to send a Test notification to your link. If you didn't receive, it may be a link error or App Store bug.(To App Store Bug, resave in the App Store Page may help sometimes)
