Hello Everyone, I too faced the same issue when using promocodes. Your post has given me some clarity. My purchase verification failed at validating developersPayload everytime if it is a promo code purchase. I have few questions on this.
1. If it is a promo code purchase, Can't I receive "developerPayload"? [I think I got ans for this from your post. But I did not find official google statement on this. Please let me know if there is any offical info upon this] 2. If ans is NOT to the question (1), is there any way to differentiate if a purchase is happend as a "Normal" or "Promo code" purchase? 3. If ans is NOT to the question (2), shall I skip check for validating developerPayload for a purchase, If there is a way to differentiate?
