Critical Bug: Mismatched Request ID in Payment Data
18

When players need to pay for in-game items, we call FB.ui({method: 'pay', action: 'purchaseitem', product: product, quantity: 1, request_id: 'a numeric order id'}). The request_id is a string formatted as a number.

However, since yesterday, when Facebook's server notifies our server about the order, or when we actively query the order using the Graph API (GET /v21.0/{payment-id}), the returned order data shows the request_id as a randomly generated UUID format string, rather than the request_id passed during the FB.ui call. This prevents us from querying user orders and issuing items. This bug affects a small portion of users; most users' order request_ids are still normal. Please address this issue promptly, thank you!

I believe a fix for this on the Meta side went out around 4pm PST on Nov 4th. We saw a decline in occurrences after that. We sill had a few after but not at the same frequency. I have noticed zero so far today (Nov 7th) so I think it is safe to say it's fixed. I'm just updating here as I thought everyone would want to know and I'm not sure Meta really monitors or replies to these threads.

We have the same problem. Some transactions are correct and some get a UUID4 as request_id
