Using this library confuses the phone's Apple ID about react-native-in-app-utils

@chirag04 - Can you please help?

Ok, I think we have figured this out. Basically, if you are running your app through TestFlight and it's not been distributed through the App Store, any non-sandbox iTunes accounts will act wonky. We've noticed the multiple passwords being entered as well as purchasing just flat out not working. However, sandbox users that were created in iTunes connect had the correct user flow.

To follow-up, when we distributed that same exact build through the App Store everything worked perfectly for non-sandbox users and they weren't asked multiple times for their passwords.

@jpapillon I have the same issue.

Are you using a test user account rather than your personal apple ID?

[Froelund]

@djw27 I'm using my own account, and the products are not published.

I haven't been able to repro this. are you having different icloud account and apple id?

I would have to rely on the community to debug this.

AFAICT, this happens when for some reason the transaction is not cleared from the queue.

Can somebody confirm if this is happening is release mode also?

My guess is during local dev, a purchase is initiated and you stopped the xcode project. transaction was not cleared from the queue and ios will try to rerun that transaction.

@chirag04 Might be related to debug/staging builds. I don't hear about that problem with our prod releases.

We're running to this in our projects as well. It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone though.. Scared to push it to production but curious because @jpapillon it saying it's not happening to them in production.

This happens while debugging when the transaction queue is not flushed properly. Manually stopping the Xcode run or crash while debugging can cause this

Sorry to continue on a closed issue, but this is still happening. On my TestFlight builds, when purchasing a subscription:

1. I'm asked for my password
2. I'm asked for my password again
3. ..Normal subscription flow begins..
4. I'm asked for my password once more for "TouchID".
5. Subscription flow finishes succesfully.

From then on, I get randomly asked for my password. I know it's for the TestFlight app because it's the only TestFlight app on my phone and the password prompt says [Sandboxed].

This also happens to TestFlight beta-testers, so it doesn't seem to affect only debug builds.
