getAvailablePurchases() should throw meaningful error in case of purchases are denied

Version of react-native-iap

Version of react-native

Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

iOS only

Expected behavior

getAvailablePurchases() should throw meaningful error and don’t cause pop-up flood.

for error types see also #1179

Actual behavior

if purchase permission are denied in iOS “Settings” App the following happens.

Many annoying pop-ups (“Purchases are denied”) are plopping up about one per second. This is started by a call to getAvailablePurchases() on app start. Also this function throws E_USER_ERROR

"error": {
  "code": "E_USER_ERROR",
  "message": "The operation couldn\u2019t be completed. (SKErrorDomain error 4.)",
  "domain": "SKErrorDomain",
  "userInfo": {
    "NSUnderlyingError": {
      "code": "1050",
      "message": "underlying error",
      "domain": "ASDErrorDomain",
      "userInfo": {
        "NSDebugDescription": "In-app purchases not allowed on this device"
      },
...

If the user has denied purchases I don’t want to bother the user with error messages.

Is it possible to ask this permission upfront?

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

real device

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• deny purchases globally in iOS Settings App
• call getAvailablePurchases()

[Yann-prak]

getAvailablePurchases send all purchases no matter what. Even if they are expired. I’ve tried it in sandbox. When I tried to implement RestorePurchases, it sent me a lot of expired purchases. I don’t know if this is the desired behavior but it is certainly annoying.
