Universal App: how to share in-app purchases? It seems not to work

Question

Hello guys,

I created a Universal App and I submitted it to the store, but I have a problem:

I created in-app purchases with the same names in Windows Store Dev Center and in Windows Phone Dev Center, and I tried to buy from my app on the phone, but in the corresponding Windows Store app I can't see the license active.

I used this shared method to buy a product:

await CurrentApp.RequestProductPurchaseAsync(productname);

And this to check the license at the app start:

if (CurrentApp.LicenseInformation.ProductLicenses[productname].IsActive)

What's wrong?

Is there something I have to declare to SHARE in-app purchases among the 2 apps??

Answer 1

The names of the apps in the store have to match up. I suggest you contact the Windows Store Publishing team for best assistance.

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Thanks Matt,

but the solution was to use the

CurrentApp

.GetAppReceiptAsync()

and check if the product has a receipt!

And obviously...no documentation about this.........anywhere
