Hi Guys,
This is my first go at implementing in app purchase. Just want to see if anyone else has got this problem. I am working on an app which has a consumable in app purchase and every thing works as expected but if the purchase fails due to an error or is cancelled the user will go to a different scene. There are two scenes one for a cancellation and one for a failure due to an error. The two scenes are the same except one says cancelled and the other says error. On the cancellation/error scene there is a home button and a retry button if I click retry then succeed in purchasing the item then no problem but if I click retry then cancel then retry and cancel again or fail then fail again ie twice in a row on the same scene the app will crash. So the in app behaviour will work twice if the scene is not changed but then the app will crash. I tested this in creator, in the viewer and also as an adhoc and have been getting the same crash result.
I also tried the latest nightly build but got the same result.
To solve the problem I have removed the retry button and just left the home button on the cancellation and error scenes. The other option is to duplicate the error/cancellation scenes for the retry in app behaviour so it will always change scenes.
If anyone has an explanation to this I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

i think the problem is that when you use one of those 'success/failure/cancel' buttons it's actually using the pause feature, and you can't pause from a pause screen, which is effectually what you are doing with the retry button.
