Adding more than one non-consumable to app

gyroscope

Hi, I'm just putting the finishing touches to my puzzle app Sort 'EM! (at long last - should be ready to upload to Apple in a week) and about to embark on the non-consumable IAP (20 free levels, user buys to unlock another 52 levels).

But at some time in the future, I want to add more puzzles to the same app (in an update) - i.e another 20 free levels, buyer to purchase a different set of 52 levels, and this will, hopefully, be an ongoing thing, adding even more over time for IAP the full game with different puzzles within the same app.

But I read in the GameSalad Cookbook that to first set up the IAP for non-consumables in iTunes Connect, you need a unique bundle ID.

So my (naive) question is: seeing as more puzzle sets will be identified with the same game/same bundle ID, will that preventing me from adding more than one non-consumable?

You'd presumably have different IAP options:

Buy Level Set 1 - (Purchase ID "levelset1")

Buy Level Set 2 - (Purchase ID "levelset2")

etc.

There is no reason why the sets would be identified by the same Purchase ID. The game bundle ID isn't relevant.

You'll need a separate button for each level set (though you could actually have the button progress if you wanted - that is, once Level Set 1 is bought, it could display the option to buy Level Set 2).

This seems a very standard IAP situation, unless I'm missing something.

Good stuff, thanks for confirmation, @Armelline - you're not missing anything, I'm certain - just me asking an obvious question! (And would you believe, I've never implemented IAP of any sort until now).

Yes, glad it's a standard IAP situation and I would have been surprised if it couldn't have been done. Thanks again.

I'm going to try to get my IAP tutorial template finished off tonight. All the logic is in place, just writing the extensive instructions/explanations. Keep an eye out for it when it's done!

Though knowing me I'll get distracted and be saying the same thing tomorrow...

I look forward to that, Armelline, whenever it's ready - cheers.
