In App Purchase Restore Query

Question

Hey StackOverflow...

My iOS app allows the user to purchase videos as non-consumable iAPs, all the videos are pretty weighty at circa 300mb/650mb each...

Apple require you to implement a restore purchases functionality into your app using StoreKit. This is all fine with me, however, if the user has purchased a few different videos then the sizes could really begin to add up.... I've considered checking if the user is on wifi before this can be done, but to be honest it feels like a workaround not a solution. I'd much rather grab an array of everything the user has downloaded, and let /them/ decide which they want to download now. Is this allowed, or even possible?

Thanks

Ollie

Yes, their requirement is that in you user interface you would make difference between already purchased and not purchased goods. For example for the already purchased stuff you can use a status like "Download again already purchased video" and for not yet purchased videos "Buy this video for $99".
