paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished: is returning an empty queue when it should have transactions in it

This is my first time using Store Kit and everything has gone great up until I attempt to restore purchases. I've seen several other posts on stack overflow about similar issues but I've not found a solution that works for me.

I have a button in my app that calls [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] restoreCompletedTransactions]. This in turn triggers the SKPaymentTransactionObserver method paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished:. The problem is that paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished: has zero transactions in the returned queue.

If I then attempt to make the purchase I am notified that I have already made the purchase. This tells me that the store knows that my test Apple ID has successfully made the purchase on a previous attempt. Why then does paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished: return an empty transactions collection on it's queue?

There has been some mention of the sandbox behaving erratically but I need to see this working before I go live to the AppStore.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

I had this same issue, but instead of creating a new user, I just went to iTunes & Aoo Stores in Settings and logged out of the sandbox test account and tried it again. Working!

It depends upon the product type the which products will be queued back in:

-(void)paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue

as an alternate, read the receipt at:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]

only problem with the receipts is that they are stored locally, but apple don't keeps it hanging .. ofcourse the purchases are saved on the apple server too. Refresh / load the receipt by:

    SKReceiptRefreshRequest *recreq = [[SKReceiptRefreshRequest alloc] init];
[recreq start];

I believe this is a bug with the sandbox App Store. My restores were not working with my test accounts (created in the iOS 5.0 era). -paymentQueue:updatedTransactions: was not getting called during a restore.

As suggested by process255's comment, I created a new test user in iTunes Connect. With the new test account, everything works fine!

Are you handling the transactions in -paymentQueue:updatedTransactions:? This callback gets your restored transactions before the paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished: callback.

You should do your restore processing and handling inside -paymentQueue:updatedTransactions:.
