Rename without "-kit" suffix about apple-receipt HOT 14 CLOSED

@mikemee Yeah. Sorry for not being clear. It refreshes, fetches and validates the receipt. Once done, we can safely access the purchase date that's inside of the receipt.

Done

@mikemee Just Receipt is misleading as the framework doesn't represent a receipt. If we want to drop the suffix, we need to come up with a meaningful name.

ARGH!

What about apple-receipt-validator?

from apple-receipt.

apple-receipt-tools
apple-receipt-utils
apple-receipt-utilities
apple-receipt-helpers
apple-receipt-misc

validator makes me think of all those server-side validators. It doesn't really do any of that.

from apple-receipt.

@mikemee Actually, it does server-side validation.

The official document is called Validating Receipts With the App Store.

from apple-receipt.

@salutis But this library doesn't do validation (does it??).

Maybe we should get #20 done before we rename again. By documenting it, we'll have a clearer idea of what this code is for.

It does. It's the whole point of this framework. 😄

Umm, that wasn't my understanding. There are a zillion frameworks that do receipt validation and we didn't need to create one for that. The point of this framework was to extract the purchase date of the original app so we could appropriately unlock volume 1 for earlier purchasers. A problem that no other receipt validation library appeared to handle.

Let's get #20 done first...

from apple-receipt.

Looking at #20, apple-receipt is not a bad name. 😳

from apple-receipt.

Continues in #26.
