:latest_receipt is not saved

[hayesmp]

I still can't sort out why it's not being saved.

@hayesmp Have you checked that the receipt gets checked and stored in line 18 of the Receipt module?

When checking the receipt on purchase and (if product is a subscription) when activating the app, we are checking the receipt against Apple's servers, to make sure it's a valid receipt. If the receipt is valid, we are storing it in NSUserDefaults. Have you checked that we are getting to this point in the code? Is there anything in the receipt object? Is it able to save the receipt object in NSUserDefaults?

I have had problems with NSUserDefaults in the past where I have saved to it, but there's a delay before I can retrieve data from it.

The receipts appear to be verifying, but I'm having trouble retrieving the :latest_receipt to get the expire date.

One of the bothersome things is that I have not been able to output the receipt from anywhere inside the gem.

If I try to output the receipt after the successful purchase I get a crash. I'll have to look at my old IAP code and see if I can figure out where the failure point is.

Also I noticed that I'm getting prompted to re-enter my test account password even when the app is in the background. This makes me suspect that the background process that's constantly retrying to verify the receipt is using bad data...?

Ok. I can't really help you with the crash, since you're not showing me any crash-logs. If the receipt you are trying to output, is saved as NSData, then I could suspect that it would crash, because it can't convert NSData to a string.

I'm quite sure it's not checking anything in the background. It's only checking receipts on startup and purchase. Sometimes Apple's servers are a bit slow to respond. So if you open your app and exit immediately, then that might be the problem.
