🙂 Very good question, Jeff!
@Pikachu Squirtle: that is not funny.
It has to be enough buying stuff at iTunes and the minecraft builtin store as before this issue.
I do not want any XBOX-Account for my son and I do not want to be forced to create one account, so thats easier for Mojang to fix the bug by doing less or nothing.
Sorry guys of Mojang: but the bug is more annoying the longer it lasts to solve. It seems a little bit, your provided bugfixes are banana bugfixes matures at the customer ... 🙂
This update to 1.2.16 was needless.
When a bug happens where purchases were lost, such an issue has an higher priority as some new game play ...
I'm a professional software developer and I do not understand why this issue cannot be resolved and has less prio than that game stuff you deployed - not only from a professional view, but also from a father's ...
Sorry ... for us!
No effect by updating to 1.2.15.
Can you estimate the duration?
That would us make so much more patiently 😉
@Mojang: are you still there?
How are your work on a bug fix for this issue?
Whats the next step?
My son lost his purchases with version 1.2.13 on 4th April.
@PEMDAS_
In all the comments you can read:
iOS 11.2, 11.3, 10.3.3, 9.3.5
iPad Air 2 / 2017
iPad Pro 9.7 / 2017
iPad 2
iPad 4th
iPad 5th
iPad Mini 4
iPhone SE
Obviously, it seems not to be a device problem (all from Apple, and all different models with different ages), rather than a Minecraft software problem.
As in iOS it is not allowed to use Java, it looks like that the problem seems to be in the ObjectiveC code - or do MOJANG use Swift?
Different language, same problem: your store code cannot retrieve purchase data from customers authentified by an normal Apple account (App Store or something else you can use with an Apple ID).
Greetings,
Martin
Did the update to 1.2.14 - no changes.
Attached a real screenshot of the stores message after pressing the button "Restore" (in German "Wiederherstellen"). As described before: nice message, nothing happenend
