NAME

Plack::Middleware::AppStoreReceipt - Verifying a Receipt with the Apple App Store

SYNOPSIS

In the app.psgi

enable "AppStoreReceipt";

That's it.

By default, you can POST 'receipt_data' with a base64 encoded string to /receipts/validate

aka, curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/receipts/validate -d "receipt_data=$base64EncodedString"

Since it's disable a sandbox request by default, therefore to use the sandbox testing environment, please set allow_sandbox to true

enable "AppStoreReceipt", allow_sandbox => 1;

Perhaps, you don't like /receipts/validate endpoint, though you are able to change the default route as well by either

enable "AppStoreReceipt", route => { 'post' => '/appstore/verify' };
(to use route, the format is 'route => { $method => $path }')
or
enable "AppStoreReceipt", method => 'POST', path => '/appstore/verify';

And you can even change the default receipt_data parameter

enable "AppStoreReceipt", receipt_data => '(name of receipt parameter here)';

If you have a shared secret for iTunes, you may set it as

enable "AppStoreReceipt", shared_secret => '(shared secret bytes here)';

DESCRIPTION

This middleware provides an endpoint for an iOS app to validate its reciept data. Therefore, this middleware ensures that your iOS app does not post the iap receipt to any fake Apple server.

It does post given receipt data to iTunes production first. If it is a sandbox receipt (told by iTunes production), it will be re-sended to iTunes sandbox again automatically.
