  • At first I was really enjoying implementing this plugin, but things just don't appear to be working out for me.

    I've been chatting to the developer about it via email, but felt I was taking up too much time, so figured I'd open it up to the forum.

    I was originally using the default IAP that comes with Construct 2, and while I was getting perfect results with Android, the app was crashing with iOS. So I saw this plugin was said to work everywhere and with PhoneGap, which I use. I made all the changes and uploaded the app to the Android Play Store.

    I was able to purchase the IAP, but noted that after I refunded the purchase, the player was still able to access the content even though the no longer owned the IAP.

    The game defaults to the IAP not being purchased, then runs a quick check to see if they own it. If they own it, the content is unlocked, otherwise, it isn't.

    The developer recommended that I make use of the "Restore Purchases" action and event, but that's caused an unusual effect that (for some reason) no longer checks whether or not the purchase has been made, so the game's IAP doesn't appear to be purchased. However, upon touching the button to make the purchase, the game suddenly refreshes and unlocks the content.

    I'm reverting back to my code prior to using the "Restore Purchases" events, but I wonder if anyone could have a look at my events and let me know what I'm doing wrong.

  • Yep, I'm getting the same error message. This is insane.

  • Try Construct 3

  • When creating an app, on IOS, because I'm using AdMob, I find I need to insert a bit of code that reads:

    <platform name="ios">
   <config-file parent="NSCalendarsUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
       <string>Advertisement would like to create a calendar event.</string>
   </config-file>
   <config-file parent="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
       <string>Advertisement would like to store a photo.</string>
   </config-file>
   <config-file parent="NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
       <string>Advertisement would like to use bluetooth.</string>
   </config-file>
</platform>[/code:3l9q0lb2]

However, after adding this code, PhoneGap will now ONLY create an IOS version of the app, no longer generating Android or Windows Phone.

Anybody know how to maintain the generic aspect of PhoneGap so I don't need 2 different versions?

Also, why isn't this added in during the export process from @Scirra? Why do we need to edit so much code? Surely if we're creating an IOS game and we include AdMob, the mandatory code should be added for us?

I've spent almost as much time jumping through hoops and figuring out the manual coding as I have creating the game.

  • My game opens perfectly fine, and runs well, but I note that rather than filling the screen, there's a black space at the bottom. Now I'm using Scale Outer, so this should work fine. I've also used letterbox and received the same result. I'm not understanding.

    Now! If I ever switch out of the game, then switch back over to it, the game pops to full screen mode, and the small black box at the bottom disappears.

    I've created another mobile app at the same time, and that one isn't showing the same problem. The only difference between the 2 is that one has ads and the other doesn't.

    Could it be that the app is preparing the space for the advert but not resizing the screen?

  • Aww, was hoping this would make it in for the stable build. Oh well. I imagine with the new architecture it's a lot easier to update C3 than C2.

    Think I need to do a bit more research into C3's mobile exporter.

  • Just as an update, I think I finally got this cracked...

    I repositioned one of the plugins (cc.fovea.cordova.purchase) and got a new error code, telling me that the plugin "com.mcm.plugins.androidinappbilling" doesn't exist.

    I looked into it a bit more and read a few notes that purchase and inappbilling seemed to do the same thing... so I went ahead and removed it.

    I then updated the initial code to:

    <plugin name="cc.fovea.cordova.purchase" > <param name="BILLING_KEY" value="YOUR KEY GOES HERE"/> </plugin>[/code:23t3yhxk]

I uploaded it to Google and it all worked. Tested it out, and it looks like the code's working fine.

So @Ashley - I don't know if this might help you at all, and I honestly don't know if deleting that line of code will have any knock on effects elsewhere.

In any case, hope I help someone out there

  • I've been trying to get IAP working on Construct 2 and PhoneGap for about 3 weeks now, and it doesn't seem like anything I do gets me anyway.

    I heard that IAP works fine with a Construct 3 export, so I was hoping that someone could do me a favour.

    Could someone with Construct 3 make a brand new capx (or one already in use, doesn't matter), add the iap object into it, then export via Cordova and upload here a bit of text from the exported config.xml and hopefully the config.json?

    I know it's a big ask, and I have no idea if it'll help me at all. All I know is Construct 2 in combination with PhoneGap is currently broken, and there doesn't appear to be anyone who can or will fix it. Either that, or I'm missing something obvious.

    The error code I get is: "Error - One of your plugins requires a parameter: BILLING_KEY"

    and here are the plugins I'm using in my configs.

    <plugin name="cc.fovea.cordova.purchase" />
	<plugin name="com.mcm.plugins.androidinappbilling" />
	<plugin name="cordova-custom-config" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-ad-admob" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-file" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-inappbrowser" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-statusbar" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" />
	<plugin name="cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine" />[/code:bb3kfxlu]

[code:bb3kfxlu]"plugins": [
		{ "id": "cc.fovea.cordova.purchase", "version": null },
		{ "id": "com.mcm.plugins.androidinappbilling", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-custom-config", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-ad-admob", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-file", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-inappbrowser", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-statusbar", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-whitelist", "version": null },
		{ "id": "cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine", "version": null }[/code:bb3kfxlu]

Somewhere I appear to be missing a variable " <variable name="BILLING_KEY" value="YOUR_BILLING_KEY" />" which may very well slot into the purchase plugin at the top.

Like I said, a copy/paste of that code would be superb help. Hopefully...

  • Nepeo Will this be updated for Construct 2? I've not yet made the leap to Construct 3.

  • Nepeo - Thanks for your post. I did, however, change this version number during my export for PhoneGap and it never worked.

    I ended up opening the file up in Android Studio, and while it showed 1.0.0.1, the version code remained 10000. However, that is shown in your table. Therefore, should I have used 1.0.1.0?

    I didn't see that documented anywhere, and did search all over this site and a few others. Is the quote you posted from a manual or tutorial?

    Is this likely to be added to the export for simplicity? As you said, to avoid that small confusion?

    My current build is 0.1.0.1 because I consider it in alpha, but my version code is 10001.

    Thanks again for your reply.

  • NN81 Jesus, why are you stalking me around the forum? You don't know what you're talking about and Ashley asked me to post this bug. The point of Construct is no coding. ATM, you need to do coding. Go find another project, please.

  • Not meaning to be rude, but so far I've spent 2 days explaining something to you and had to go over the same stuff way too many times before you understood. Ashley has said that if we have to go into code to get stuff to work, there's something not right.

  • This is boring. Why are you getting involved if it's tastes? You're happy, I'm not. Let's move on.
