I’m trying to use the In-App demo provided here:
http://developer.anscamobile.com/sample-code/in-app-demo
I’m using the latest Xcode 4.3.1 and Corona build 767. When I build the demo, it doesn’t work (in-app buttons do not appear like they are supposed to).
Anyone else having this problem? [import]uid: 82194 topic_id: 23459 reply_id: 323459[/import]
Just wanted to share my solution to the problem as the demo now works for me. I replaced the product ID with mine (e.g. “com.companyname.itemname”) and in iTunes Connect, I had to change the Status of my In-App Purchase Product ID from “Developer Rejected” to “Waiting For Review”. [import]uid: 82194 topic_id: 23459 reply_id: 94190[/import]
Thanks for updating this

thanks you. [import]uid: 12275 topic_id: 23459 reply_id: 96682[/import]
In iTunes Connect, did you already create a new in-app purchase? You should have a “Reference ID” and “Product ID” name for it and also the “Status” should be “Waiting for Review”. Next, in iTunes Connect click the “View Details” button for your app and you should see “In-App Purchases”. Click the EDIT button and then select the Reference ID of your in-app purchase. This will attach your in-app purchase to your app submission. The last thing is to insert your app info into your lua code. I have copied the entire In-App Template below but only changed two things. Look for this in the code:
-- ENTER THE NAME OF YOUR "PRODUCT ID" HERE:
"fullversion" and
validProducts[1] = {}
validProducts[1].title = "UNLOCK"
validProducts[1].description = "Do you want to unlock one Full Version for $0.99?"
validProducts[1].price = 0.99
validProducts[1].productIdentifier = "com.companyname.appname.fullversion"
unpackValidProducts() Following is the complete code for the In-App template with only those two changes I listed above. I just ran this in my simulator and it works – the button appears as it is supposed to.
local ui = require("ui")
local store = require("store") -- Available in Corona build #261 or later
local isSimulator = "simulator" == system.getInfo("environment")
