Quick Question about Using Test Flight and Testing IAPs

Hi,

I’ll keep it short…

  1. Can Test Flight be used to test IAPs with a Sandbox tester account?

  2. If yes, how?(specifically, how to sign in as a Sandbox tester and get the test started)

I’ve heard that Test Flight can be used, but so far I haven’t been able to sign in anywhere with my sandbox accounts. Any answers on this are sure to be helpful.

Thanks,

Dan

Have you done a Google search on this subject? Testing IAP’s through TestFlight would be the same as any native iOS App. I would think Apple would have some guidance on that or third-party tutorials would be available.

Great, thanks Rob.

 

For anyone else that will have this problem, I did get testing IAPs to work. 

 

If you got your app downloaded using Test Flight for testing, then you are already set to test IAPs if you have them coded in your app. Your Test Flight account acts as a Sandbox account. Your IAPs can be in the “Ready to Submit” status, and I would connect them to your app in the “Prepare for Submission” area just to be safe. When you make a purchase with your Test Flight account, it does everything a normal purchase would do besides charge a fee.

 

You can, still, make sandbox accounts. Sign out of your iTunes account on your device, then open your test app and click on an IAP you wish to test. Sign in with your sandbox account. This allows you to test in other countries’ currency if you wish.

 

Hope everything works out for you,
