Update Rejected: No estore Purchases. Anyone else?

Yes, Restore for non-consumable is now mandatory. If people are wondering how it works...

You call:
[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions];
to initiate a full restore.

Everytime an item is restored, you 'll get a call to "restoreTransaction", so, you need to add this function (it is similar to completeTransaction when you do a normal purchase)

- (void) restoreTransaction: (SKPaymentTransaction *)transaction
{
CStore::NumRestored++;
[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction: transaction];
}

NumRestored is part of my own CStore class. I set it to zero before calling a restore. So, I know how many items have been restored.

When all the items have been restored, you get a call to paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished


- (void)paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFini shed: (SKPaymentQueue *)queue
{
if (CStore::NumRestored==0)
{
...
}
}

I'm testing if any items have been restored. If there are none, you can display a message like:
"It doesn’t look like you've purchased this product with this account."

Also, you might want to create this function too for completeness:

- (void)paymentQueue: (SKPaymentQueue *)queue restoreCompletedTransactionsFailedWithError: (NSError *)error __OSX_AVAILABLE_STARTING(__MAC_NA,__IPHONE_3_0)
{
}

Hope it helps

thanks to the starter of the thread! (and to all the other participants, too, of course)

So if unlocking a level of some sort costs $.99, then you need to have a 'restore purchases'?

Cool, it was way too confusing before. I'm glad apple is making this change. I know it will make customers more at ease and they won't have to go to customer support web pages just to ask if their inapps are still there.

Yes.

We (Cannibal Cookout) just got rejected for NO restore button for CONSUMABLE items. I have appealed to Apple as this can't actually be implemented

That could be incorrect labeling of the IAP in iTunes connect. Be sure it's truly consumable.

They are all consumable and have been for the last 4 updates!

Just an update ... Apple finally went back and approved the update without requiring me to make any changes, so I'm guessing a reviewer got confused.

Seriously tho, glad to help. Our lead programer for tka is on vacation for a month so we're beat on this update until he comes back; if we can save some frustration for other indies, well, at least something came out of it.
