Mac App Store Receipt Validation Code?

Wondering if anyone has a tutorial or working code for the new Mac App Store\'s receipt validation? About the only references I\'ve been able to find so far are Apple\'s st

In order to validate against the real receipt after testing, change this line of code in your main.m file:

if (!validateReceiptAtPath(@"~/Desktop/receipt"))

to

#ifdef USE_SAMPLE_RECEIPT   // defined for debug version
    NSString *pathToReceipt = @"~/Desktop/receipt";
#else
    NSString *pathToReceipt = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]
        stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt"];
#endif  
    if (!validateReceiptAtPath(pathToReceipt))
        exit(173); //receipt did not validate

and in your compiler settings, "Other C Flags" for your Debug Configuration should include -DUSE_SAMPLE_RECEIPT
