I've implemented a simple non-consumable in-app purchase mechanism by following the Ray Wenderlich tutorial book.
When my app starts, I initiate a product info request:
self.productsRequest = [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:productIdentifiers];
_productsRequest.delegate = self;
[_productsRequest start];
The SKProductRequest gets created. It has a memory address but nothing else happens. None of the delegate methods gets called:
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
NSLog(@"Product info received...");
NSArray *products = response.products;
for (SKProduct *product in products) {
NSLog(@"ID: %@, title:%@, (%f)", product.productIdentifier, product.localizedTitle, product.price.floatValue);
}
self.productsRequest = nil;
}
- (void)request:(SKRequest *)request didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
NSLog(@"Failed to load list of products");
self.productsRequest = nil;
}
I checked twice:
- App fully set-up in iTunes Connect.
- Status of app in ITC is "Prepare for Upload"
- One non-consumable IAP added.
- Status of IAP product in ITC is "Ready to Submit"
- App ID is com.mycompany.myapp both for the app and in the plist. Checked twice.
- IAP uses com.mycompany.myapp.productname (using exact same ID for the request).
- Created a test user account in ITC.
- Nothing submitted to Apple yet.
- My Mac has internet access.
- There are no other messages in the console or on screen.
The Ray Wenderlich book doesn't mention I must do anything else besides this.
Only once I saw a -didFailWithError: call to my delegate on the Device, but it never again appeared. My delegate doesn't get called both on device or simulator. I let it run for minutes with no response at all.
iTunes Connect gives this confusing warning:
Your first In-App Purchase(s) must be submitted with a new app version. Select them from the In-App Purchases section of the Version Details page and then click Ready to Upload Binary.
Is this required prior to being able to test In-App Purchases?
