In App Purchase Plugin

Hi all, I was really curious to purchase this, I have a multitude of free apps that could certainly benefit from this plugin. Firstly, can I clear up the process. From what I've read, the in app purchase essentially opens up a specified screen. Presumably you could have, for example, a menu screen with lots of different content, all unlockable for a one off payment? The only thing preventing me from purchasing at the moment is the reported bugs. Does anyone know if they've been fixed yet? I would be particularly interested in the comments and thoughts of the developer of the plugin. All the best, Alex

Alex@TM I have been testing this for some time now have no problems with it. I have a menu with 36 screens to buy. The back button works fine and i just bought a screen in the sandbox and worked great. The app unlocked the screen I bought while keeping the other screens locked until purchase is made. I think it is a must for any app builder. If you have additional questions please post and I can walk you through the process. Tony "Magic Man"

I can concur with Magic_Man. All seems to work on my end as well.

Guys, I having a little trouble with the in app purchase set up. Here are the steps i've done so far and I'm at a road block. If someone can help walk me through the process it would be a huge help. 1. I created a test user acct in iTunes connect. 2. I created my in app purchase item in my BT control panel 3. I set up an item in my Manage In App Purchase section in iTunes connect. Althought its waiting for upload? 4. Ran on device and get no item found. Any suggestions. AM

Setting up Easy In App Purchase using BuzzTouch development software. Welcome all, Over the past year the most important thing I have worked on to date with my app has been the integration of IAP! I hope this tutorial will help you accomplish your goal of successfully integrating IAP. PHASE #1 Log into iTunes connect and select your app you want to set up for IAP On the right side of the app control panel in iTunes connect you will see four (4) options select Manage In-App Purchases: Rights and Pricing ----> Manage In-App Purchases Manage Game Center Setup iAds Click “create new” on the top left of the Manage In-App Purchases Choose what type of IAP you are creating. Enter a reference number Enter a Product ID “hint” you make this up yourself, and will use it later when building your screen in BT. Select your purchase price. Enter your IAP details and upload a small screen shot. Click save. PHASE #2 Now jump over to your BT control panel. Create the screen you want to sell. This can be a menu, a URL, or whatever you want to sell access to. *Note -The screen nickname will be used below. Add an easy IAP screen to your app. Enter a screen nickname Unique ID – USE THE PRODUCT ID FROM ITUNES CONNECT Product ID – USE THE PRODUCT ID FROM ITUNES CONNECT Product Screen nickname – this is the screen you want to sell. Product image is whatever you want to add this will display on the IAP screen prior to the purchase. You are done! Now you still have to submit your IAP via your iTunes connect account and resubmit your app to apple for review. Now here is a full example from me. -iTunes Connect- Reference name: testIAP123 Product ID: IAP123 Type: (?) This is something only you can pick. -BuzzTouch- build a screen to sell (MENU, URL, ANY PLUGIN) nickname: iaptosell Unique ID: IAP123 (SAME AS ITUNES CONNECT PRODUCT ID) Product ID: IAP123 (SAME AS ITUNES CONNECT PRODUCT ID) Product screen name:iaptosell Product image: whatever you want Now testing this IAP you have to set up a test account in iTunes Connect. Then you have to log out of your account via your iphone/ipad settings. Then load your app click the buy button and enter your test account info to buy it. It will never cost you anything this is just for testing. You are done!!! If you want to set up additional iap you have to do this all over again. Happy building. Tony “Magic Man”

You logged totally out of your iTunes account on your phone right? You do this in your settings section of your phone. Also you set up a test account in iTunes connect right? Tony

Hi Tony "Magic Man", Are your 36 screens using the "quiz" plugin by chance? I'm using the Easy IAP Plugin with the Quiz plugin and it's missing the back button. Just curious. Thanks.

Hi Tony, You know what...it must have been a bad compile. I deleted my app, did a clean, and re-compiled and it's working as advertised. Thank you for offering. Much appreciated.

Hi Tony, I just upgraded to the new version of the In App Purchase Plugin (v2) for one of my app and it just got rejected. I've been doing some testing with it was wondering if you are running this version yet for any of your apps yet-- either in development or production? If so, I was going to ask you to do a test for me. Thanks.
