This is the text for `purchase_date` field:
"
This value corresponds to the transaction’s transactionDate property.

For a transaction that restores a previous transaction, the purchase date is the same as the original purchase date. Use Original Purchase Date to get the date of the original transaction.

In an auto-renewable subscription receipt, this is always the date when the subscription was purchased or renewed, regardless of whether the transaction has been restored.
"

From our testing we clearly see that the following is not correct:

"For a transaction that restores a previous transaction, the purchase date is the same as the original purchase date."

It is exactly the opposite "for a transaction that does not restore a previous transaction, the purchase date is the same as the original purchase date."

If transaction does not restore, the dates `original_purchase_date` and `purchase_date` are equal, otherwise `purchase_date` is the date of a transaction that restores original transaction.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Purchase a subscription product, look at the corresponding Receipt, record the evidence that `original_purchase_date` is equal to `purchase_date`.
- Restore this product later, record the evidence that Receipt that restores this product now has `original_purchase_date` equal to original purchase date and `purchase_date` equal to the current date of when transaction is being restored.
