iOS: Setup purchase validation on Account level
Purple Manager
If you want to offer in-app purchases in your Purple DS iOS apps, you need to establish a connection between Purple Manager and the Apple App Store. This How-to guide described the steps to set up the purchase validation per account via Master Shared Secret. You can alternatively set it up on app level for only one single app.
You learn how to set up the purchase validation for the Apple App Store in Purple Manager in order to make it possible to enable in-app purchases for your iOS app. In order to do so, you will generate a shared secret in the Apple App store and store it in the Purple Manager.
