StoreKit SKProductsRequest Crash

Question

I use the following code to request a list of products as per the In-App Purchase Programming Guide. It used to work fine in my iPhone application, however now it crashes every time the product list is requested. The delegate method (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response is never called.

SKProductsRequest *request = [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:[NSSet setWithObject:@"my.product.identifier"]];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request start];

As I said, it worked perfectly fine, then just stopped working. This is the crash which occurs when the above code is called.

I don't know what is causing the objc_msgSend crash, or how it is related to StoreKit. I also have no idea what I added or changed which caused this simple code to stop working.

Answer 1

the crash may be due to following
1.may be you are not handling the product request didReceiveResponse: method override it has i mentioned below.

• (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse: (SKProductsResponse *)response

{

NSArray *purchasableObjects = [NSArray arrayWithArray:response.products] ;

DEBUGLOG(@"response.products %@ \n,invalidProductIdentifiers %@",response.products ,response.invalidProductIdentifiers);

// populate your UI Controls here

}

2.Yor skproductrequest object may be releasing some ware (when notification of didReceiveResponse skproduct is not avalible to it
