The Store

[Ben Dodson]

Hey Everyone,

As you may know, v1.1.5 introduced a new version of the Store which was rebuilt from the ground up (see this article for a geeky explanation -- http://bendodsonapps.com/weblog/2013/01/22/syncing-the-wallabee-store/). One thing I didn't mention to anybody is that it was running off a separate database and so v1.1.4 and v1.1.5 actually have different stores. This is one reason why the blog post introducing v1.1.5 pointed out that this was a "required update" as it was our intention to disable both the Store and Market 24 hours after v1.1.5 went live. Because of the issues with iOS 5, we are now waiting on v1.1.6 to be approved before that happens.

To be clear, there are two Stores running at the moment:

* The store used in v1.1.4 and below

* The store used in v1.1.5 and v1.1.6

They have different items and different rules (the new Store can have the same item in at the same time for example). I hadn't updated the API so some people were thinking that there Store in the app was way out of sync but I can assure you this is not the case. 

The public API has now been updated to use the new Store. There are no API differences so you shouldn't experience any issues with your current apps. If you run into any problems, please let me know.

Hi Ben,

Now that we've migrated to the new store; can you update the store prices on the public API so that the tax is no longer added?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hey Jonathan,

I'm assuming you mean the Market, not the Store? The 5% tax has now been removed from the Market API calls.

Hi Ben,

Thanks,

Keeping with the store theme...

I noticed that the stores API is not always returning a store cost for each item.  I can accept that new items will not have store cost revealed for 48 hours, but older items (Parade Blimp) have a blank value even though an item type call shows the store cost properly.

That should be fixed now.
