IN-APP PURCHASE and other flash packager limitations

Hi,
I am a mobile developer in a major, if not the biggest game company. We are currently working on a game that needs in-app purchase and that will be multi-platform (IPad, IPhone, Android, Pc, Mac, and Web)
We considered Flash as a multi-platform/screen development tool but the lack of an in-app purchase feature is a huge problem for us since it’s a key element of our game development strategy..
My question is: Does anyone know any workaround to make it happen?
If not: Is this feature planned in the future updates?
That makes me wonder: Can anyone enumerate the flash packager limitation in terms of features?
Is it possible to create a module in Objective C that would communicate with a flash packaged game?
I am very surprised that little information can be found on the web since it’s a very important feature for serious game development.

Hi sakhaarun,
Apple allows in-app purchases to be used for products you define within the same app. In other words, you can sell an upgrade, add-on, or 'full version' for your own app, but you can't sell somebody else's app. (Have a look on the 'Top-Grossing' list to see some examples- if it's free, it probably has in-app purchase so you can see what you sell.) If you want to sell somebody else's app, you'd need to join Apple's iTunes affiliate program which is not related to in-app purchases.
When you enable In-App Purchases with Apple, they are bound to your own application- so another developer cannot access them directly.
However, if you let me know specifically what you are trying to do, I might be able to make a suggestion. If for instance, you have "My App", and you want to sell an upgrade to "My App Pro", it would make more sense to have just "My App", with an in-app purchase that enables all the "pro" features in the main app.
Feel free to email me any time if you want to chat more.

Help to get my iPhone App to iTunes Connect Flash Packager

help to get my iPhone App to iTunes Connect Flash Packager
i have problem

Application Loader show me this
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid or it was not signed with an apple submission certificate
MacBookPro

Did you create the correct mobile provisioning profile and distribution certificate?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/index.html
Go there, expand "Compiling and debugging iPhone applications" and then "Compiling an iPhone application installer (IPA) file".
Make sure you are creating the *distribution* files and not development if you trying to submit this to the app store.

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I paid for apps, i demand my updates

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I dont care if i owe apple's itunes appstore a few dollars over 2 in app purchases i never meant to download in fact the whole app itself i wanted to delete...but out of the hundreds (maybe lower thousands) fof dollars in music and apps and whatever else, that i rightfully purchased over the passed couple of years....should *NOT* have the upgrades and/or previous purchased songs withheld from me over $3 in accidently purchased add ons through an existing app i deleted an disliked anyway

Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

I am desperate right now. I'm not sure if I got myself into some real trouble since I got the in-app and it works fine, but the purchase did not show up. It usually asks ms if I want to pay 2.99 and I would press "yes," but this time it did not ask and I feel like I got this app without paying for it. please any advice!?

I made an in app purchase and never received what I was supposed to. I contacted the producers of the app and they never got back to me. I then contacted apple and they said they would return my 25$ purchase. I still haven't gotten it. What do I do?

TS1702 i made an in app purchase and the purchase is listed on my billing statement but the in application purchase is not available within the app?

i made an in app purchase and the purchase is listed on my billing summary but i cannot access the purchase within the app. I have tried deleting the game and reloading the app and the purchase, nothing seems to work.

I've had this with games, I had to contact support via the 'problems with this app' link on the receipt & they refunded my money.

HT4009 "Error" when buy item In-app purchase and billing still come in my e-mail. How can i get my money back?

I would like to know how can i get money back (follow the subject).
thank you
(my english is poor. sorry)

If you haven't received the item but you've been charged for it then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that in-app purchases and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
