This is my verification validation code:
func receiptValidation(completion: @escaping(_ isPurchaseSchemeActive: Bool, _ error: Error?) -> ()) {
let receiptFileURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL
guard let receiptData = try? Data(contentsOf: receiptFileURL!) else {
//This is the First launch app VC pointer call
completion(false, nil)
return
}
let recieptString = receiptData.base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
let jsonDict: [String: AnyObject] = ["receipt-data" : recieptString as AnyObject, "password" : AppSpecificSharedSecret as AnyObject]
do {
let requestData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: jsonDict, options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions.prettyPrinted)
let storeURL = URL(string: self.verifyReceiptURL)!
var storeRequest = URLRequest(url: storeURL)
storeRequest.httpMethod = "POST"
storeRequest.httpBody = requestData
let session = URLSession(configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: storeRequest, completionHandler: { [weak self] (data, response, error) in
do {
if let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary {
if let latestInfoReceiptObjects = self?.getLatestInfoReceiptObjects(jsonResponse: jsonResponse) {
self?.getCurrentTimeFromServer(completionHandler: { currentDateFromServer in
let purchaseStatus = self?.isPurchaseActive(currentDateFromServer: currentDateFromServer, latestReceiptInfoArray: latestInfoReceiptObjects)
completion(purchaseStatus!, nil)
})
}
}
} catch let parseError {
completion(false, parseError)
}
})
task.resume()
} catch let parseError {
completion(false, parseError)
}
}
I start calling the observer inside of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
IAPManager.shared.startObserving()
And then call the receiptValidation to check the subscription status of product:
IAPManager.shared.receiptValidation { isPurchaseSchemeActive, error in
//Handle authentication based on isPurchaseSchemeActive status
}
I end calling the observer inside of applicationWillTerminate:
IAPManager.shared.stopObserving()
I am also calling the receiptValidation inside of the applicationWillEnterForeground to check the validity whenever user come from background to foreground:
IAPManager.shared.receiptValidation { isPurchaseSchemeActive, error in
//Handle authentication based on isPurchaseSchemeActive status
}
My IAPManager in short:
class IAPManager: NSObject {
static let shared = IAPManager()
private override init() { super.init() }
func startObserving() {
SKPaymentQueue.default().add(self)
}
func stopObserving() {
SKPaymentQueue.default().remove(self)
}
}
And obviously calling receiptValidation after each successful purchase transaction and restoring product transactions before SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction).
It works perfectly. But sometimes the receiptValidation stuck at JSON response for more than 10 or higher minutes. In this case, I am trying to cancel the receiptValidation call with a 1 minute timer. A pop up alert will appear saying try again and It will request the call again if user tap on "Try again" button.
My question is If I want to cancel an ongoing receiptValidation call, should I turn off IAPManager.shared.stopObserving() observer and turn on IAPManager.shared.startObserving() observer again before calling it? Or simply recall the receiptValidation request?
