6. Click Deploy Branch

API

The app provides two endpoints:

• GET /0.1/sandbox (for sandbox receipt validation)
• GET /0.1/production (for production receipt validation)

|Parameter|Required|Description| |---|---|---| |receipt|Yes|Base 64 encoded receipt string.| |secret|No|Only used for receipts that contain auto-renewable subscriptions. Your app’s shared secret (a hexadecimal string).| |exclude|No|Only used for iOS7 style app receipts that contain auto-renewable or non-renewing subscriptions. If value is true, response includes only the latest renewal transaction for any subscriptions.|

In App Usage

struct Receipt: Decodable {
    var receipt: [String:String]
    var status: Int
}

func obfuscatedValidationMethod() {
    let receiptURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL
    let receiptData = NSData(contentsOf: receiptURL!)
    let base64Receipt = receiptData?.base64EncodedString(options: .endLineWithLineFeed)
    let queryItems = [URLQueryItem(name: "receipt", value: base64Receipt)]
    var valUrl = URLComponents(string: "<# https://appName.herokuapp.com #>/0.1/sandbox")
    valUrl?.queryItems = queryItems
    let request = URLRequest(url: valUrl!.url!)

    let session = URLSession.shared
    let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
        guard let responseData = data else {
            return
        }
        let decoder = JSONDecoder()
        do {
            let decodedReceipt = try decoder.decode(Receipt.self, from: responseData)
            if decodedReceipt.status == 1 {
                // Do something with invalid receipt.
            }
        } catch {
            // Handle error.
        }
    }

    task.resume()
}
