Failed to get the original version of the application that the user installed (validation confirmation)?

I have an app that I recently updated to work in apps. The previous version (paid but no in-app purchases) was 1.0 and the current version is 1.1.

As an in-app purchase substantially unlocks all the features (that were included in the paid 1.0 version), I need a way for users who originally downloaded version 1.0 to upgrade if they clicked my buy button.

To do this, I will try to restore purchases first, and if the answer is:

- (void)paymentQueueRestoreCompletedTransactionsFinished:(SKPaymentQueue *)queue

      

        
        
        
      

    

If this gives me a queue with 0 transactions, I check the receipt to check if the original version 1.0 was installed.

Receipt code matches Apple documentation

- (void)tryRestoreFromOriginalPurchase
{
    // Load the receipt from the app bundle
    NSError *error;
    NSData  *receipt = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL]];

    if (receipt == nil) {
        [self restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:nil];
        return;
    }

    // Create the JSON object that describes the request
    NSDictionary *requestContents = @{@"receipt-data": [receipt base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0]};
    NSData       *requestData     = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:requestContents options:0 error:&error];

    if (!requestData) {
        [self restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:nil];
        return;
    }

    // Create a POST request with the receipt data
    NSURL *storeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt"];
    NSMutableURLRequest *storeRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:storeURL];

    [storeRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [storeRequest setHTTPBody:requestData];

    // Make a connection to the iTunes Store on a background queue
    NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];

    [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:storeRequest queue:queue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *connectionError) {
        if (!connectionError) {
            NSError      *error;
            NSDictionary *jsonResponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&error];

            if (jsonResponse) [self restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:jsonResponse];
            else              [self restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:nil];
        } else {
            [self restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:nil];
        }
    }];
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then the following method is called:

- (void)restoreFromOriginalVersionWithReceipt:(NSDictionary *)receipt
{
    if (receipt == nil) {
        // CALL METHOD TO HANDLE FAILED RESTORE
    } else {
        NSInteger status = [[receipt valueForKey:@"status"] integerValue];

        if (status == 0) {
            NSString *originalApplicationVersion = [[receipt valueForKey:@"receipt"] valueForKey:@"original_application_version"];

            if (originalApplicationVersion != nil && [originalApplicationVersion isEqualToString:@"1.0"]) {
                // CALL METHOD TO HANDLE SUCCESSFUL RESTORE
            } else {
                // CALL METHOD TO HANDLE FAILED RESTORE
            }
        } else {
            // CALL METHOD TO HANDLE FAILED RESTORE
        }
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now it doesn't work. When someone installs version 1.1 and taps restores purchases, it restores successfully when it shouldn't.

I just realized that in my Info.plist my CFBundleShortVersionString is 1.1, but my CFBundleVersion is 1.0.

It might be a very stupid question, but is it a receipt providing original_application_version 1.0 (due to incorrect CFBundleVersion), although the 1.1 update?

So, if I release a new update with a fixed version 1.2 (for CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion), will the problem be resolved?

- UPDATE -

So, I just uploaded the new version to the app store with CGBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString set to 1.2. However, I still face the same problem: users downloading version 1.2 for the first time and using restore purchases are updated for free (due to the check check outlined above). It seems original_application_version always reaches 1.0.

Note. I am downloading the application under a new iTunes account that has not previously downloaded the application.

Here is the receipt I get if I install it from the app store and then try to get the receipt through Xcode

2014-08-27 08:46:42.858 AppName[4138:1803] {
    environment = Production;
    receipt =     {
        "adam_id" = AppID;
        "application_version" = "1.0";
        "bundle_id" = "com.CompanyName.AppName";
        "download_id" = 94004873536255;
        "in_app" =         (
        );
        "original_application_version" = "1.0";
        "original_purchase_date" = "2014-08-26 22:30:49 Etc/GMT";
        "original_purchase_date_ms" = 1409092249000;
        "original_purchase_date_pst" = "2014-08-26 15:30:49 America/Los_Angeles";
        "receipt_type" = Production;
        "request_date" = "2014-08-26 22:46:42 Etc/GMT";
        "request_date_ms" = 1409093202544;
        "request_date_pst" = "2014-08-26 15:46:42 America/Los_Angeles";
    };
    status = 0;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Any thoughts?
