validateReceiptIos always returns false

[Fabian Unger]

Version of react-native-iap

2.0.0-alpha3
(I tried 1.1.5 as well, same issue)

Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

iOS

Expected behavior

validateReceiptIos returns 0/1/true for valid receipts

Actual behavior

validateReceiptIos always returns false

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

Real device, sandbox app store

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I am able to make auto renewable subscription purchases successfully, and receive a transaction receipt. When I try to validate this on iOS using validateReceiptIos(receiptBody, true, 55) I always get returned false.

If I log JSON.stringify(res) I get:
{"status":21004, "environment":"Sandbox"}

There was a similar issue at #190

At which line are you inserting the log at? 🤔

also, what version of React Native are you running?

[Hyo]

@fabianunger Strange. Should be fixed in #190. Could you share some codes?

[Fabian Unger]

"react": "^16.3.2"
"react-native": "^0.55.3"

validate = async (product) => {
   try {
     console.log(product);

     const receiptBody = {
       'receipt-data': product.transactionReceipt,
     };
     console.log(receiptBody);

     const result = await RNIap.validateReceiptIos(receiptBody, true, 55);
     console.log(result);

   } catch(err) {
     console.warn(err.code, err.message);
     Alert.alert(err.message);
   }

 };

@fabianunger Could you try out this version and see if it gives you a more detailed error message?

npm install LinusU/react-native-iap#ios-validate

@LinusU @dooboolab
I just added the shared secret in the receiptBody and now it seams to work out.
Maybe I just missed it somewhere in the docs? Or is that not the way it is supposed to happen?

  const receiptBody = {
        'receipt-data': product.transactionReceipt,
        'password': '*********'
      };

(still using version 2.0.0-alpha3)

@LinusU
I tested it also with your version: Same outcome.
As a response I get {"status":21004, "environment":"Sandbox"}.

Works by adding the shared secret as the 'password' within the receiptBody. In general: Is this the regular way anyway?

[Hyo]

@fabianunger You've done it right. For more information ref here. Will be good to update the doc tough.

What is the shared secret and where can I find it?
