Just a heads up that Apple are rejecting apps containing in-app purchases that do not have an explicit restore button.

This leads to a terrible user experience. To implement this you either have to 1. Have an explicit Restore button that does nothing if the user has not already purchased a consumable item.

Or 2. Make an additional server call everytime your user trys to buy an item-ie check if they have already purchased the item, then provide a button to enable them to restore that item if so.
