I already brought the full version. But then I got a new phone. When I try to restore the purchase it said purchase failed. But then I thought I’ll just buy it so I tried then it was like “you already own this would you like to restore for free” and I pressed no because I knew it would be like purchase failed. And then when I pressed no it was like purchase failed. So I went back and pressed okay then it was like all set then 1 second later it said it said purchase failed. Please fix this it’s making me frustrated and I just want to play the full version and yes I have another money in my apple account
