in app purchase, production receipt validation now validating sandbox purchases?

问题

Is it anyone else's experience that lately (Nov. 2011) the production URL for validating In App Purchase receipts now works to validate sandbox-generated receipts?

If this can be relied upon its a huge boon for me. It means that the build I submit to Apple can be exactly the same as the build I test with (except for final code signing.)

I'm referring to https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt and https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt.

I noticed this too, and it is May 2012 so I guess this has been working for awhile.

This is no longer working as of 7/26/2012 (just found this post here, trying to figure out when it originally changed). You'll need to go back to the prod -> sandbox failover code, detailed in this tech note - http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2259/_index.html

I'm guessing this is because of all the hacking of IAPs going on, and Apple now closing possible loopholes.

If you want identical development and life behaviour (plus identical behaviour while your app is being reviewed): Verify the purchase first with the life server, and if it fails with the sandbox server.
