Hi !
Small question : in the (Unreal) SDK docs, the CatalogVersion field of FPurchaseItemRequest mentions :
// [optional] Catalog version for the items to be purchased (defaults to most recent version.
Is this really the latest version, or would it be the primary one?
I am a bit nervous because I just created a new catalog and there are game versions in the field (testers only, but external ones where we don't want the game to break) that neither specify this field nor filter the items based on a criterion, and I want to add a new item category in another catalog version (I know this is not their intended use). Is there a risk that these game versions suddenly switch to the latest catalog, as indicated in the function doc?
(I just checked and the REST doc is the same... obviously, since the SDKs are autogenerated)
EDIT: I found this comment from Brendan who mentions that we should not use Catalog Versions for segregating based on arbitrary criteria and that we should only use it for version control.
In any case, I now have a problem : the game currently does not set CatalogVersion in the request when retrieving the catalog, and the current code is not able to cope with the new items that I plan to add.
If I understand the documentation correctly, these older version of the game will always use the latest version of the catalog , and will crash, then ?
What should I have done to ensure that the primary catalog is used? Can purchases be made on non-primary catalogs?
I naively thought that, similar to the way the CloudScript works (live vs latest), I could prepare the next catalog and switch it to primary only when the new client version is deployed.
Thanks for any clarification you might bring to this.
