Can't get ValidateIOSReceipt to working

I can't get validation working with a receipt. It's always failed with a response that receipt does not match with catalog item. I can't figure out what is problem with the validation. It seems that receipt is legit like errorMessage told us. But receipt not match any items. OS version is 8.2 which I used for the testing. Response is same both device and when I try it validation directly on your site with a receipt.
I use Unity IAP for purchasing service and it's response for validating receipt. http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityIAPPurchaseReceipts.html I use directly payload value for receiptData field. Do I have to do something to this value before validation?

@Brendan I am currently experiencing this with all product IDs from apple that have previously worked. Title IDs : AEE68 and 70CDF. The default catalog and the In-App catalog stores

I'd recommend reviewing this blog post (which we'll turn into a Tutorial on the main site as well, soon): https://playfab.com/blog/show-me-money-receipt-validation-ios-and-android/.

The key is that the Product ID in your receipt (and so, your catalog in iTunes, Google Play, etc.) needs to match the ItemId of an item in your catalog. That's how we provide a secure means for your to deliver the digital goods to the player - we control everything on the server side. So, we check that the receipt is valid, is actually for your game, hasn't been used before, etc., and then we take the item from your catalog specified (by the Product ID) and put it in the player's inventory.

I made my own plugin for validating receipt and check the items inside receipt and all the product ids will match with the catalog item ids. What is the price which I should give the validation? I did try currency "RM" and price which is defined in catalog and also price given by real purchase process "EUR" and price € 0.99. So is it price which cause problems?

Your tutorial says following:

If you defined prices in other currencies for your item in the iTunes or Google Play store, you need to enter those currency types and values in RealCurrencyPrices, as shown.

I can't find a place in dashboard where to set real currency prices for the product.

@Esa Salminen Did you send the encoded payload ? Or you first decoded and then sent the payload.?

When using receipt validation, you should use the CurrencyCode (the standard three-letter currency code, like USD or EUR) and PurchasePrice (integer value, stated in the minimal form of that currency, so USD 199 is $1.99 US dollars, for example) to tell our service the actual price paid. The reason this is necessary is because the actual price paid (amount and currency) is really only available in the store in question (iTunes, Google Play, etc.), and it is not included in the receipt info.

It just don't work, no matter what I tried. Here is example how items are set and also receipt data.

GetStoreItems returning

{
 "code": 200,
 "status": "OK",
 "data": {
  "Store": [
   {
    "ItemId": "com.company.game.man_1",
    "VirtualCurrencyPrices": {
     "CO": 100,
     "RM": 99
    }
   },
   {
    "ItemId": "com.company.game.man_2",
    "VirtualCurrencyPrices": {
     "CO": 100,
     "RM": 99
    },
    "RealCurrencyPrices": {
     "EUR": 99,
     "USD": 99
    }
   },
   {
    "ItemId": "com.company.game.man_3",
    "VirtualCurrencyPrices": {
     "CO": 100,
     "RM": 99
    }
   }
  ]
 },
 "CallBackTimeMS": 1288
}

GetCatalogItems return following for my example item (only one item in this example)
{
 "code": 200,
 "status": "OK",
 "data": {
  "Catalog": [
   {
    "ItemId": "com.company.game.man_2",
    "ItemClass": "man_2",
    "CatalogVersion": "1",
    "DisplayName": "Man 2",
    "Description": "Unlock this character.",
    "VirtualCurrencyPrices": {
     "CO": 100,
     "RM": 99,
     "D0": 0
    },
    "Tags": [],
    "CustomData": "null",
    "Consumable": {},
    "CanBecomeCharacter": false,
    "IsStackable": false,
    "IsTradable": false
   }

Can you check to make sure you have a Primary Catalog set in your catalog definitions? The receipt validation calls currently use the Primary Catalog as their target for purchased goods.

Can you please provide the Title ID, Catalog Version, and the Product ID you have set up in your App Store catalog, which matches an Item ID in your catalog?
