Aside from the Status Update Notifications for IAP released over the summer, is there some channel by which a developer can obtain directly from Apple the IAP receipt data for a specific transaction?
Our IAP implementation has the app pass the receipt string to our servers for validation and then we store Apple's receipt data on our end. However, a handful of transactions are slipping through the cracks. If the customer provides details (their iTunes order confirmation email specifies IAP product purchased, date/time of purchase, and the email address associated with the iTunes account), can developer request from Apple directly the data provided by the receipt validaton service? Once we complete implementation of the Status Update Notifications, we will have that data coming through to us outside of the app itself, but we'd like to address missing data in our system for those orders that pre-date our setup for Notifications.
