Restore non-consumable in app purchase

Post by Jellobus » Mon Jan 11, 2016 9:17 am

Hi guies,

I am implementing a non-consumable in app purchase in my android app. as the livecode lesson states that the saving mechanism for purchased good is differ from iOS. Apple allows saving a record for user's purchased goods in the app but I am not sure that Google allows this.
new Google in-app purchasing API. The app is no longer responsible to retaining what the user has bought. All the purchased items can be restored, not only in the particular device where the app was installed, but in every device the user owns. This can be done using a “restore” button.
Can I just implement a saving mechanism like iOS for purchased product? so that users don't have to click restore button every time they launch their app.
or should I just let Google mange purchased goods? ( if there is a potential legal issue..) I would put restore command on openstack but with this method, users should always need an internet connection. I really want users use app without an internet connection as well.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Louis

Hi all,

I was puzzled because the purchase item was able to be restored without internet connection. Does android OS manage it by itself without the internet connection? or it's my script error?

Cheers,

Louis
