This is driving me crazy.
I'm trying to debug an App that uses In-App Purchase.
I use the following simple piece of code to get my products (I've got only one product):
NSSet *productIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObject:PRODUCT_ID];
SKProductsRequest *request = [[[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:productIdentifiers] autorelease];
request.delegate = self;
[request start];
On devices running iOS5 and above, I get my product back in the response.products property of productsRequest:didReceiveResponse:. I can also place an order (using a test user) on these devices.
On a device running iOS 4.01, I get an empty array in response.products and my product id in response.invalidProductIdentifiers. If I try to ignore the product information and call addPayment: on this device using the same product id, I'm getting SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed in paymentQueue:updatedTransactions:.
Obviously my setup is correct, since things work flawlessly on my iOS5+ devices.
I also checked and tried everything in http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/ to no avail.
Any ideas? Do you think it's safe for me to submit the App under this situation?
This right here helped me out when I was debugging a similar problem - http://teewe.com/2011/10/24/ios-in-app-purchase-programming-troubleshooting-guide-continuously-updating/

I am having a problem making gifts (pack of coins, lives, etc). I have been using this guide.
I think I did everything correctly at https://developers.facebook.com/, created the coin type, made the object and used its id.
This is my code for request:
FBSDKGameRequestContent *gameRequestContent = [[FBSDKGameRequestContent alloc] init];
gameRequestContent.message = #"Take this coins";
gameRequestContent.title = #"Choose users";
gameRequestContent.filters = FBSDKGameRequestFilterAppUsers;
gameRequestContent.actionType = FBSDKGameRequestActionTypeSend;
gameRequestContent.objectID = #"386681778192859";
[FBSDKGameRequestDialog showWithContent:gameRequestContent delegate:self];
My question is how I can take a message or a callback from this request at another device. I was looking for a solution at facebook site, but I didn't find anything. In general, is it possible or do I have to make custom server?
I'm trying to implement in app purchases in a free application.
I have created a productd id "test1" within the in app purchases manager in itunes connect portal.
When I make the product request in the following way:
- (id)init {
NSSet *productIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObjects:
#"test1",
nil];
if ((self = [self initWithProductIdentifiers:productIdentifiers])) {
}
return self;
}
- (id)initWithProductIdentifiers:(NSSet *)productIdentifiers
{
if ((self = [super init]))
{
// Store product identifiers
_productIdentifiers = [productIdentifiers retain];
// Check for previously purchased products
NSMutableSet * purchasedProducts = [NSMutableSet set];
for (NSString * productIdentifier in _productIdentifiers)
{
BOOL productPurchased = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:productIdentifier];
if (productPurchased)
{
[purchasedProducts addObject:productIdentifier];
NSLog(#"Previously purchased: %#", productIdentifier);
}
NSLog(#"Not purchased: %#", productIdentifier);
}
self.purchasedProducts = purchasedProducts;
}
return self;
}
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
NSLog(#"Received products results...");
self.products = response.products;
self.request = nil;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kProductsLoadedNotification object:_products];
NSLog(#"%d",[self.products count]);
NSEnumerator *e = [self.products objectEnumerator];
id object;
while(object=[e nextObject])
{
NSLog(#"item");
NSLog(#"%s",(char*)object);
}
}
- (void)requestProducts {
self.request = [[[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:_productIdentifiers] autorelease];
_request.delegate = self;
[_request start];
}
The response is always 0. I don't understand what am I doing wrong. This code came from a tutorial. The documentation regarding in app purchases tend to be quite confusing and the whole process in itunes connect doesnt give me confidence.
I thought the application needed to be online for sale for in app purchases to be working. However, I decided not to included in app purchases, but let the in app purchase in itunes connect for review. During the review process, the application was rejected because it should be working with the in app purchases for testing.
But how do I test in app purchases if the product listing comes always at zero?
If someone with more experience could give me an advice on this, since i'm already getting crazy with it!
Thanks,
With my best regards,
Nuno
The most coherent solution I found to this problem was this checklist. It should be wide spreaded in order to avoid anyone passing by the same problem which is really time consuming and desperating:
Have you enabled In-App Purchases for your App ID?
Have you checked Cleared for Sale for your product?
Have you submitted (and optionally rejected) your application binary?
Does your project’s .plist Bundle ID match your App ID?
Have you generated and installed a new provisioning profile for the new App ID?
Have you configured your project to code sign using this new provisioning profile?
Are you building for iPhone OS 3.0 or above?
Are you using the full product ID when when making an SKProductRequest?
Have you waited several hours since adding your product to iTunes Connect?
Are your bank details active on iTunes Connect? (via Mark)
Have you tried deleting the app from your device and reinstalling? (via Hector, S3B, Alex O, Joe, and Alberto)
Is your device jailbroken? If so, you need to revert the jailbreak for IAP to work. (via oh my god, Roman, and xfze)
Are you logged out from real iTunes account?
Have you tried restarting device?
Are you on Device? (Will not work on Simulator)

Have a look here, that answered all of my questions (and the framework is simple to use, too :-):
http://blog.mugunthkumar.com/coding/iphone-tutorial-%E2%80%93-in-app-purchases/
But I have to say the whole in-app purchase thing is a PITA - my app just got released, and of course I downloaded it and checked the in-app purchase screen. Guess what, it came up completely empty!
After some reading up it seems that even if all is accepted and ready for sale, the in-app purchase products still need a while to become available online - after 3 hours it finally worked ...
EDIT:
You need to create the in-app purchase for your app and set it to clear for sale in itunes connect. You do not need to upload a screenshot yet or have it already reviewed in order to be able to test it in development mode.
How did you name the purchase in itunes connect? Normally you should use a com.companyname.productname.purchasename name, and the name you request from your app ha to be exactly the same.
I have a free iPhone App which uses in app purchase. I tested my first InAppPurchase with sandbox environment and it worked fine. After the InAppPurchase was approved and worked fine in App store, I added several new InAppPurchases in iTunes Connect and tried to test them in the sandbox environment. However I could not find these new InAppPurchases in my app.
The following is the code I uses to get InAppPurchase products:
//....
SKProductsRequest *prodRequest= [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:
[NSSet setWithObject: prod]];
prodRequest.delegate = self;
[prodRequest start];
//....
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
int count = [response.products count];
NSLog(#"number of products:%d",count);
for (int i=0; i < count; i++) {
SKProduct* product = [response.products objectAtIndex:i];
NSLog(#"product %d:id=%# title=%# desc=%# price=%#", i, product.productIdentifier, product.localizedTitle,
product.localizedDescription,
product.price);
}
}
If I use the old InAppPurchase product id I can get it, but if I use any newly created product id I got count==0.
From what I saw, I guess may app may not be running in the sandbox environment after my first InAppPurchase was approved, but this is just a guess, because I don't know how to check if my app is in sandbox mode or not.
I searched Internet about this issue and tried the following:
1. created a new version of my app, uploaded it to iTunes connect, and rejected the binary. no use
2. deleted all my provisioning profiles and created new ones. no use
3. created an app id for my app in developer provisioning portal and created provisioning profile for that id and used it in Xcode. no use
My Xcode version was 3.2.5. I upgraded it to 4 but this did not fix the problem.
I am wondering if any one else has seen this issue and found a solution. Thanks.
OK I came across this post and got some hint:
Product Identifiers Are Valid On One Phone But Not Another
I just deleted the app from my iPod Touch, did not reboot, then tried to run my app from Xcode again, and it worked. I guess there was some states saved together with the app which determines whether to use sandbox environment for InAppPurchase or not. Although I could run my newly compiled binary without deleting the old app, I could not get rid of some old state which caused the app not running in the sandbox environment. That is what caused the problem. The solution is to delete the old app from the device before running newly compiled binary.
I'm trying to make "In App Purchase " works in my iphone app.
I created some products and a few test accounts in itunes connect.
I have no problem to retreive the products data (prices etc..) but when I try to make a payment
- I am asked to log in
- I use a test account
-> the transaction always fail with the following error :
failedTransaction with error : Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=2 "Connexion à l’iTunes Store impossible" UserInfo=0x65d02a0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Connexion à l’iTunes Store impossible}
I tried with several products and test account (even in other stores like us) but I still get the same error...
NB : I think it worked fine the first time I tried but never still
Any idea will be welcome !
Thanks
For me, I just scoured my code until I found my mistake. I was so certain everything was fine, but it was not. When I requested product information from the store, I used the correct Product Identifier:
self.productRequest= [[[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers: [NSSet setWithObject: #"com.popculturesoft.RC_vCar.fullVersion"]] autorelease];
However, when I went to create the payment, I used the incorrect Product Identifier:
SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProductIdentifier:#"com.popculturesoft.RC_vCar_Lite.fullVerson"];
Using the product Identifier for the payment is not the correct way to do it, although it allows you to do it. It is better to use an SKProduct object. (I had set the fullProduct property earlier in the code:
SKPayment *payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProduct:self.fullProduct];
I was absolutely certain that the store was down, and that was the problem. But the next day I decided to start from the beginning of the process, as described in http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2259/_index.html. This is when I found that my incorrect Product Identifier was the problem.
Check out this thread. It seems to be a problem with the Sandbox. Lot's of people having this issue-
iPhone storekit sandbox stopped working
I had the same symptoms and in my case the problem was that I had a test user account with the same name as a real Apple ID account. I resolved the problem by creating a different test user account.
Basically, I've tried to set up in app purchases on a test app before I implement them into a proper app that my company is working on. I've read the Store kit pdf and other snippets about a 1000 times, but the products are still being returned as empty. Here's exactly what I've done so far:
Setup test app and In App Purchase test items
I created a new app id for 'Test App One' on my company's developer portal in the iPhone Dev Centre. I made sure that the prefix was com.mycompany.testappone to ensure that in app purchases could be configured. Staying in the App IDs section, I configured in app purchases by ticking the 'Enable In App Purchase' option.
I created 'Test App One' in iTunes Connect and completed the usual procedure but selected 'upload binary later' and didn't submit for review as the app does nothing. Surely we don't have to submit the app to review for this to work?! I then clicked on manage in app purchases and created a new one with product id 'test1' and approved it so that it is cleared for sale.
Code
I set up a new project in XCode called TestAppOne and here are the only 2 classes I am using for now:
TestAppOneAppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h>
#interface TestAppOneAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, SKRequestDelegate, SKProductsRequestDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
}
TestAppOneDelegate.m:
#import "TestAppOneAppDelegate.h"
static NSString *kMyFeatureIdentifier1 = #"com.mycompany.testappone.test1";
#implementation TestAppOneAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
if([SKPaymentQueue canMakePayments]) {
NSLog(#"IN-APP:can make payments");
}
else {
NSLog(#"IN-APP:can't make payments");
}
[self requestProductData];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (void)requestProductData {
NSLog(#"IN-APP:requestProductData");
SKProductsRequest *request = [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers: [NSSet setWithObject:kMyFeatureIdentifier1]];
request.delegate = self;
[request start];
NSLog(#"IN-APP:requestProductData END");
}
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
NSLog(#"IN-APP:productsRequest");
NSArray *myProduct = response.products;
NSLog(#"IN-APP:array count: %i", [myProduct count]);
[request autorelease];
NSLog(#"IN-APP:productsRequest END");
}
- (void)dealloc {
[window release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
Testing on the device
I created a sandbox test account and logged out of my iTunes account on the iPhone, but didn't log in with the test account as the documentation tells us to not do this until we are prompted at the purchasing stage. I then build the app and here is the log I'm getting:
IN-APP:can make payments
IN-APP:requestProductData
IN-APP:requestProductData END
IN-APP:productsRequest
IN-APP:array count: 0
IN-APP:productsRequest END
Can anyone please tell me if I have left any stages out or if there is anything that I'm doing wrong. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any example apps made by Apple.
Another important step that is often overlooked is you need to make sure you have an iOS Paid Applications Contract setup which is located under the "Contracts, Tax, and Banking" section of iTunes connect. First you have to click on the request button, then you have to click on the 3 Set Up buttons (Contact Info, Bank Info, Tax Info)
Actually I do think you have to submit the binary for this to work.
You can set the release date to the distant future.
Check whether there are invalid product id's.
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
for (NSString *invalidProductId in response.invalidProductIdentifiers)
{
NSLog(#"Invalid product id: %#" , invalidProductId);
}
}
If there are invalid product ids visit http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/
It is a very comprehensive check-list for this problem.
Edit: (13/11/20)
Site seems to be down. I'm not sure whether it is a permanent problem but you can see the page from archive.org:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200212001158/http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/
Check if your Bundle Identifier (e.g. com.company.appname) in XCode matches the one in iTunes Connect.
You do not have to submit the binary for it to work.
Just delete the application on your device, and start it again from XCode.
It fixed the problem for me.
No need to upload the binary, or wait for hours after creating the in-app purchase in iTunes Connect.
Thanks to alpere's answer I found out that I used the wrong product ID. It was not as I thought de.company.appname.PROFESSIONAL_LICENSE. Just using PROFESSIONAL_LICENSE in my case (without leading bundle id stuff) works :)
No need to upload binary for Sandbox testing of InAppPurchase. You just have to add InAppPurchase item in iTunesConnect and put it in "Ready to submit"(must) state only. If you submit it for review it will always give ou response.product empty.
Try to add a Free Subscription product. If it appears on the response then there is nothing wrong in your code. Since Free Subscription is the only type that doesn't require Agreements, Tax, and Banking and if it appears and the other types don't then it is a issue related to your contract.
In my case the reason was hosting of content by Apple turned on by mistake. The product was available only when I turned it off
In my case (MacOS) I was creating a test application (with the same bundle ID of main application). SKFetchRequest started returning product Ids for test application only after I set Bundle Name (Binary name) the same as in original application.
