purchaseState == 4 (out of three possible)

Unity Services
1 
GooglePlayReceipt google = productReceipt as GooglePlayReceipt;
Debug.Log (Convert.ToString(google.purchaseState));

When validating purchases from players, I get purchaseState == 4, although in the code I see an enum GooglePurchaseState that only has three (0, 1, 2) states.

public enum GooglePurchaseState
{
    Purchased,
    Cancelled,
    Refunded
}

where did state number 4 come from? This is definitely a cheat purchase, the player somehow learned to call ProcessPurchase() when the application restarts and he successfully passes the validation many times with *purchaseState==*4

@MaximPP Google hasn’t updated the enum documentation. It’s a new purchase option from Google referred to as a Pending or Deferred purchase. It is a valid state, and not a cheat. The user will purchase the in app product in the game then has 3 days to pay at a physical location approved by Google. If they don’t pay, the transaction is cancelled. Until they pay, purchaseState = 4, and you should continue to return Pending from ProcessPurchase. Once they pay, purchaseState = 1 and you award the product and return Complete from ProcessPurchase. This code demonstrates a good technique to get the value Google Play IAP Problem - #8 by bardia68
