Cannot restore purchase using currentPurchaseError listner

Description

One of the user is not able to restore their subscription. They bought the subscription and were charged by apple but due to some reason (might be internet connection) the receipt did not reach backend and they did not get access. Now when they try to buy that subscription again, apple shows dialog that you can get this subscription when previous expires (Screenshot 1). Upon clicking subscribe for this subscription, they get the message: "All Set Purchase Successful" (Screenshot 2). But after that none of the listeners get activated, purchaseUpdated listner or currentPurchaseError. Although I tried to buy already bought subscription with another production account, it showed me popup in Screenshot 3 & it worked as expected.

Expected Behavior

User should get a popup in Screenshot 3. Instead they get popups in Screenshot 1 & 2 and no listener is activated to handle receipt.

Screenshots

(Screenshot 1)

(Screenshot 2)

Screenshot (3) Note: It is from beta version but I got the same in production on restoring subscription. Just this beta testers line was not there

Environment:

• react-native-iap: ^12.12.2
• react-native: 0.72.4
• Platforms: iOS (Production)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Buy an auto renewable subscription.
2. Try to buy it again if receipt is not sent to backend somehow & no access is given to user.
3. Try to buy subscription again.

[Optional] Additional Context

Again this is happening to one user in production out of 2 who bought subscription and could be related to apple than library. But we verified they have the production apple receipt which I am sending from home screen to backend. Also they have subscription active in their apple subscriptions section in settings. But trying to buy it again does not trigger listeners.
