Detailed Description

Manages Apple's In-App Purchases for Free-to-Play games. If you are using these APIs, you should become an observer for the following events:

NOTIFICATION_PURCHASE_PRODUCTINFORMATION
NOTIFICATION_PURCHASE_SUCCEEDED
NOTIFICATION_PURCHASE_FAILED
NOTIFICATION_PURCHASE_DEFERRED
NOTIFICATION_RESTORE_SUCCEEDED
NOTIFICATION_RESTORE_FAILED

It is important to begin observing these events before starting the bfgPurchase service.Occasionally a game will need to support functionality beyond what is provided by bfgPurchase. For example, bfgPurchase does not support downloadable content. In this case, you can talk to your producer about setting purchaseExpertMode to "1". With purchaseExpertMode enabled, you will receive SKPaymentTransactions with your bfgPurchaseObject when purchasing and restoring. It is your responsibility to call finishPurchase on both new purchases and restores if you enable expert mode. In non-expert mode, restores will close themselves.

◆ acquireProductInformation:

+ (BOOL) acquireProductInformation: (NSString *) productId
