Difference between refreshReceipt and restorePurchases

[ioanalexme]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the difference between the "SwiftyStoreKit.refreshReceipt" and "SwiftyStoreKit.restorePurchases" calls, as in result to the receipt in the bundle.

"SwiftyStoreKit.restorePurchases" is also updating the receipt in the bundle ?

Thank you

@AlexDenk I think this guide from Apple may help you:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StoreKitGuide/Chapters/Restoring.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008267-CH8-SW9

Quoting:

In most cases, all your app needs to do is refresh its receipt and deliver the products in its receipt. The refreshed receipt contains a record of the user’s purchases in this app, on this device or any other device.

This is what happens when you call refreshReceipt().

Restoring completed transactions creates a new transaction for every completed transaction the user made, essentially replaying history for your transaction queue observer.

This is what happens when you call restorePurchases().

As SwiftyStoreKit doesn't (yet) support local receipt validation, the only way to read the receipt is to call refreshReceipt(), which always updates the receipt in the bundle.

Does this answer your question?
