Cancel payment in iOS?

Is it possible to cancel SKPaymentTransaction in SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing from code?

I'd like to interrupt a purchase happening on iOS from an observer to try to sell another product instead.

Is there a way to remove the transaction from the queue to stop it from happening? This throws an exception:

- (void) paymentQueue:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue updatedTransactions:(NSArray *)transactions
{
    for (SKPaymentTransaction *transaction in transactions)
    {
        switch (transaction.transactionState)
        {
            ...
            case SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing: {
                // this throws
                [queue finishTransaction: transaction];
                break;
            }
            ...
        }
    }
}

The answer is no, you cannot. If you want to do this, intercept the action before you submit the SKPayment request.

The SKPaymentTransactionStatePurchasing status is purely informational.

What you are trying to do is obviously going against SKPaymentTransactionObserver protocol implementation, and definitely something that Apple would not want.

You are finishing a transaction midway during status reporting. You seem to do it like aborting a file transfer when it is 51% done, but come on, there is real purchase going on, with user expecting some product (different than the one you are trying to sell him next)!
