React-native-iap: validateReceiptAndroid returns Error

[bethshook]

Version of react-native-iap

2.4.6

Version of react-native

0.57.1

Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

Android

Expected behavior

validateReceiptAndroid() should return a response

Actual behavior

Error returned that simply reads "Error"

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

Real device. Other iap methods work on the device.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

const purchase = await RNIap.buySubscription('my_product_code')
if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
const productToken = purchase.purchaseToken
const productId = purchase.productId
const packageName = 'my.package.name'
API.getToken(userToken).then(response => {
const accessToken = response.data.access_token
const validationData = {
packageName,
productId,
productToken,
accessToken,
isSubscription: true
}
// I've also tried entering params without the object
RNIap.validateReceiptAndroid(validationData).then(response => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response))
}).catch(e => console.log(e))
}).catch(e => console.log(e))
}

I've determined that it is likely an access token issue. Would be great if this returned more detailed error messages.

@bethshook Is this solved? I hope you can post some great article or link like here written in Korean to share the working example with others.

@hyochan Still not solved unfortunately. For now I've removed Android receipt validation.

i checked an error by rectotron and it said 'Login required' from the error response

Do not do any kind of receipt validation on client side. It's not safe and recommended. All receipt validation should be done on backend.

You do not need this library to do any kind of validation. In fact, it would be good idea to remove receipt validation from this library, as validation is not that trivial and deserves to be in a separate lib.

Use this for backend: http://github.com/voltrue2/in-app-purchase

@bethshook

I am stuck on this code

API.getToken(userToken).then(response => {
const accessToken = response.data.access_token

I want to get somehow the accessToken from the frontend and not occupy with the backend at all.

@thodwris This may help you.
