sandbox testing InApp purchase

[prabhakar157]

Hi All,
Is it compulsory to upload the app on to iTunes connect inorder to do sandbox testing of InApp Purchase?

Yes, your binary has to be "In Review" or "Ready For Sale"...it doesn't matter actually what is in it; as long as its a valid binary. I just throw up my work in progress binary while testing in-app and then reject it when i'm done.

Thanks scotopia, for your reply. I have gone through the "the definetive guide in apple forums" and i tried a simple test.
- (void) requestProductData
{
NSLog(@"about to retrieve products...");
SKProductsRequest *request= [[SKProductsRequest alloc]
initWithProductIdentifiers:
[NSSet setWithObject: @"12345"]];
request.delegate = self;
[request start];
}

I have written this code in my viewController's loadview method and after the execution of [request start]. this method would ping the app store, i waited for 15 mins but there was no response of the app store and it didn't pop up. how would i know that it is pinging to app store. I have removed the password and username from the appstore account. even then there was no luck. please help.

Hi,
I am developing a iPhone App, that has a monthly subscription feature.

Whenever I try to test the StoreKit code in my App [on the device], I get failedtransaction in my <SKPaymentTransactionObserver> class.

I have not uploaded any application on the appstore, nor I have associated a inApp purchase product with it.

I am testing with a dummy product ID for buying in the app.

As mentioned, I have to upload binary of application (+ create a In-App purchase product) but binary is still under development. Please let me if anyone else faced & solved this problem.

Thanks
Sam
