Apologies for creating this thread again, I was late responding to a previous one on the same subject, I need a solution for my problem, so I have posted again. Basically, I want to allow users to purchase and download audio files, but the BT document that BT developers are using as a guide to set up is for screens and not actual downloads. This was my previous post: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=D978BA71978603139AC6375&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=In%20App%20Purchase&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= Any help will be appreciated.

Definitely possible. I used the plugin to turn off ads in my latest app. When purchase is successful, write it to prefs. Then use that to check if downloads are available. (Just one of several approaches you can take)

Hi Chris so does this mean I can follow the same IAP guide, I think you used to set this up?

Yep. Just need to do some small mods to save a value to preferences.

Hi Chris thanks for the advice. I'm not a strong coder, in fact I'm terrible, so is this something you can help me with if I get stuck?

Absolutely. Just let me know.

Hi Chris do you know what size my buttons should be?

Hi Chris I have setup my IAP for a product, but now I'm ready to setup the purchase as a download and have no idea what to do next.

Okay - so when you complete a purchase using the Easy In-App Purchase plugin, it already writes something to the preferences. It does so like this: NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSString *key = self.productID; [defaults setObject:@"EasyiAP_YES" forKey:key]; So, you can easily retrieve at any point in your app whether the user has purchased a particular in-app product, like so: //load the preferences: NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; //Pull the setting for the in-app product we want to check for //(Be sure to replace "com.domain.appName.productID" with your details): NSString *userDidBuy = [defaults objectForKey:@"com.domain.appName.productID"]; if ([userDidBuy isEqualToString:@"EasyiAP_YES"]) { //some code here }

Are you making each individual download a separate in-app purchase? Or is there a 'downloads' screen that you are granting access to? If it's the latter, then you would use my code above to specify whether a link to that screen should be shown from some other screen (menu screen likely).

Sorry just seen the post will start on it now. In answer to your last question yes I will be making individual IAP for each download.

Just read your post about the code; I'm guessing I cannot use this code above as each screen will be an individual IAP. Any further options?

Hi Chris do you think if I were to use Apple to host the content that it will make things easier to setup at the BT end?

Hi Chris been thinking; could I create a html doc or use the Custom URL plugins as the download page once a user purchases the audio and it redirects you to approved purchase screen? Does that make sense? Do you think that would work?

Yeah - I would create a menu of "links" that each point to an instance of the in-app purchase plugin. Each of those should point to a screen with the download (custom URL would work, as would a host of other approaches) That way, you shouldn't have to mess with code

Hi Chris I tried adding a custom url page with a link to download but it didn't work, or should I say that nothing downloaded, the page just has a loading symbol but nothing happens. Again a bit stuck, not sure what next.

Ok, found this post online to allow downloading of audio files onto an iPhone. Problem is I have no idea what to do with the code. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13315418/how-to-download-audio-files-from-a-server-into-my-iphone-application Does anyone?
