Hello everyone
This is more or less the same question as in
https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/292933#292933
where noone answered. Now I have the very same problem: I am attempting to test our
app store application in a sandboxed environment. The app returns 173 if no receipt is there
and the system should then prompt a login, where I can provide credentials and afterwards
the system should download the receipt and restart the app. All this worked for me and suddenly
it stopped working. Now the app just exists with 173 and no login prompt is shown.
Here is a post of someone who claims that there exists (existed?) an OS X bug which prevents
the login window from appearing:
The suggested solution (delete and redownload) doesn't work for me. Since I am sideloading with
'sudo installer -store -pkg <pkgname> -target /', I tried delete/re-sideload and it didn't fix the problem.
Does anyone know more about that bug that prevents the login window from appearing? What triggers
that bug? Is there a workaround that works in a sandboxed context as well?
Of if it is not due to the bug, what other reasons could there be why the system doesn't proceed
after receiving 173? Does it validate something in the app bundle?
