Question

Get current logged in user's Apple ID

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a rating feature on an app I'm developing, but it's giving me a problem wich is that every user of the app can rate something one and only one time, wich means I can't use his/her IP nor MAC Address, I need something global like the user's e-mail associoated with apple's account, Apple ID or wathever it is that distinguishes users in the App Store. So, is there a way of getting this information in AIR or native language (so I can create an ANE)? Just a simple method that returns the user's ID is what I need.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, after some ersearch I found an extension by MilkmanGames called RateBox, here are some links:

http://www.milkmangames.com/blog/tools/#ratebox (for the extension)

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ratebox-ane-ios-android.html (for a tutorial)

Can anyone confirm if this works for rating in-app purchases? I don't wanna buy this without knowing if it'll really work for what I want.

Is there a reason you're not using the built in App Store rating system?

The app itself is a store of virtual content sold as in-app purchases through MilkmanGames StoreKit ANE. Now the thing is that it's currently the only implementaion of the StoreKit and it is quite poor for what it's worth, there is no way to rate an in-app purchase nor to receive it in the loadProductDetails method, the only thing you receive is the tittle, description and price. Have you got any leads to how could I accomplish that? I'm open to any solution.
