Corona SDK InAPP restoration and cancel misleading phenomena

Question

I'm having an issue with my corona SDK InApp testing(iOS only). I've a page to purchase a character. First time if I buy a product, it is working good. But if I do the following steps:

• Remove the app from the device
• Click cancel button in the buy-cancel alert (fig1.1). This will trigger: event.transaction.state == "cancelled". (This cancel click is just done for explaining triggering case, that I am describing below)
• Then I came back to the scene again and clicking the buy button of fig 1.1, It will show an alert as in fig 1.2. I think it means it will automatically restore the app. But above all my expectation, it triggered the same method, that is: event.transaction.state == "cancelled".

Fig 1.2

Problem: I am unlocking the item by writing it to a file when it is either purchased/restored. I think, when I reinstall the app, restoration has to be take place. But it is triggering cancelled. So how can I unloack the item. Pls, pls help me. Any suggestion is valuable...

It seems like the store transaction wasn't finished properly the first time.

Did you make sure to call the following code in your transaction callback ? Even if the transaction is cancelled you need to finish it to let the store system know that you have processed the cancel:

store.finishTransaction( transaction )
