How to check if a website message comes from a specific purchased iPhone app?
I have an iPhone app that sends data to a web app ... and I only want to receive data sent from an iPhone app purchased from the iTunes store.
Is there a way to do this? Is there something (or something) that I can transfer from an iPhone app to a web app that I can use to do this kind of check?
Thank you very much
btw using the asihttprequest library to handle requests / responses.

As far as I know, Apple does not provide any information about who purchased your app. However, there are several ways to detect if your device is locked or if your app has been jailbroken. This way, your application can detect this and pass this information to your server.

You can generate some checksum / hash which you then check on the server like
http://example.com/something?timestamp=143531&checksum=17
In this example, the hash is just the sum of the digits in the timestamp, but you probably want to use something more secure.
