There is an inapp purchase cracker on cydia now... Most apps dont actually check to make sure you purchased the content.

  Most iOS apps use a standard set of system calls to check if the item has been purchased. I assume the hack works by patching the systems calls to return YES to all queries about in-app purchase items. That's how I would do it if I was building something like that. There are no tokens or keys to validate... it's just "hey system, is this paid for? okay!"

    There's an option to do server-side receipt validation. That should prevent a hack like that.

      Also, checking for the purchase status of an item that can't be bought would be a cheap and easy place to start. Easy to get around with a custom crack, but it should actually be pretty effective against a blanket 'just return yes' crack.
