Moog Model D and 15 strange bug with Apple account login
I just started Model D and it asked me to give the password of my Apple account, which I of course did not enter.
I checked that I am cleanly logged in in the iOS settings and the apps store and tried again - to the same effect!
I canceled this of course again and checked my IAP of Model D - as suspected, they were not bought!
So, what's wrong here?
I am not going to enter my Apple password into a popup from an App!

This has happened to me dozens of times over the last few years. Sometimes I’ve entered my password and sometimes I haven’t (I like to mix it up). Either way, nothing bad has ever happened; no IAP was inadvertently bought, no data was ever stolen and none of my teeth fell out.
I had that too now several times on different apps. I just entered my passwoed and everything was O.K.
But almost as annoying as the IK Multimedia pop-ups in their apps.
Lot´s of these apps often give me that facebook feeling i hate. But then i also could turn the wifi off
You are confusing the bad guys with password zigzagging! You have strong teeth.
In 2010 I actually broke my collar bone over a computer related issue. Beware!
I updated to the new version, same situation.
I made a hard-reboot, no change.
@MoogMusicInc I want you to fix that!
I am not going to insert my password in such a popup.
I bought all IAP as soon as Model D came out and I want to use it without further problems!
EDIT: Found some mail adresses from moog and contacted them too.
Was curious, opened Model 15: The same shit!
For your information, @MoogMusicInc
One of you libraries is broken!
Was nearly dying of aggressions, opened Animoog..... and this was fine!
No popup, all IAP there:
I will not enter my password at any other place than the iOS settings or in the App Store App, when buying something new!
Those are the canonical places for password entry!
Any popups that ask for a password are NOT acceptable!
Tested this too - and strangly, in this case all IAP can be used!
This is realy a bizarre bug.
Well, on a good note, Model D just received a fine update.
Hi @tja,
Thanks for being careful about given out your password details, you can never be too diligent with your personal data!
We have been aware of your findings for a while, but have been unable to find a good solution for it.
The library that is asking for your password is actually iOS itself, and more specifically "StoreKit" that handles in-app purchases.
It is considered a best practice by Apple to set up store related functionalities immediately at application launch. One of the reasons is that a purchase could go through, but network related problems could cause a download to fail. By activating the processing of the payment queue at application startup, unfinished transactions will automatically be handled as soon as potential network issues are resolved. You can find more information here, if you're technically minded : https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2387/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40014795-CH1-BEST_PRACTICES-ADD_A_TRANSACTION_QUEUE_OBSERVER_AT_APPLICATION_LAUNCH
You can easily verify that iOS is actually requesting your password.
When you see the dialog, hit the home button, and see if the app quits:
Animoog doesn't exhibit this behavior since its store implementation pre-dates these best practices.
We'll continue to look for a way to implement in-app purchases that respects Apple's best practices without iOS requesting access to your Apple account at launch, but at this time we have not found how to do that yet.
We hope this clarifies what you've discovered.
Good response from a great company.
@MoogMusicInc Thanks a bunch for your informative reply!
The BestPractice of Apple does not seem to be a bad idea, but the implementation is broken.
It does sometimes not be able to use or detect the exiting and valid login information of iOS itself.
So, once again, Apple breaks things or just cannot manage to produce something stable.
This is frustrating.
I complain a lot to Apple in the last time, but my feeling in this is, that such things will only change and get better, if developers complain to Apple, demanding a more stable framework to develop applications on.
As far as I know iOS uses 'cookies' to remember when the user last entered the password for the AppStore/IAPs.
If the cookie expires the entered information has to be verified by the user.
If the cookie happens to contain version information about an app it's makes sense to ask the user to verify the credential when the app version changes.
I've never bumped into issues having to re-enter iCloud password when launching an app?!
That gave me the right idea: I logged out from iTunes in the iOS settings and then logged in again.
And voila: Both Model D and Model 15 are working again, without further popups!
Thanks a bunch
However, I never use fingerprint detection, in case the police chop off my fingers. Or the Russian mob.
You never know. Neighbors loving Swedish dance music, can attack me to mess with my iPad.
