Setting up In-App Purchases in AppStore

Whoa. Hold on. So my app doesn’t have to be APPROVED to test? That would at least let me start testing. Thanks! I’ll give that a try because I can GET to that status.

So in my case, my apps were already submitted and approved before I added IAP to them.  That’s why I am probably not the best person to direct you in this case.

But it seems unlikely that Apple would want to make developers go through submitting an app, submitting an IAP, and then being able to test it.  That hardly makes sense at all.  For either a developer or for Apple.  But there does seem to be some confusion over this.  But from what I have seen from posts from developers who have gotten this to  work is that no, your app does not need to be approved to test.

With that said, some people said you needed to submit a binary, then reject it yourself, then you could test.  Not sure if that is accurate or not. 

I am working on a new app now and will likely be going through process, so hopefully will have first hand knowledge soon enough.

Again, thanks for the speedy reply.

I will triple check to make sure none of them are still marked as “host with Apple”.

The reason I suggest doing that, is just because it seems that is still the error you are getting from them.  And what I didn’t notice is that after Apple approved my app and my IAP, they then reset the Cleared for sale status to No.  And I didn’t notice that at first.  So I was trying to fix things and I accidentally enabled the Host with Apple setting but didn’t really see good notification that I had done that.  So better to be safe.

Super. Yes, I can now confirm the app doesn’t need to be approved to test IAP.  Everything checked out just fine which is awesome…now if I can just get it approved through the store.  

But things are looking much brighter than they were this morning. Thanks you guys for the help.
