What is necessary to upload to iTunes Connect for Store Kit testing?

Most tutorials I've been able to find are dated and inconsistent with regard to what is actually necessary to have uploaded and approved in iTunes Connect. Following one tutorial I uploaded incomplete binary and rejected it. I then added an In App Purchase Item. I uploaded an image and filled in all the registration information.
So currently,
App - Status -- Developer Rejected
In App Purchase Item -- Ready to Submit
I am able to make requests to the store kit, but I am getting 0 results. Is it possible to get results with my current iTunes Connect statuses?
Edit: I appreciate the trouble shooting advice. But I want to make sure that it is in fact possible to retrieve purchase items with the above statuses.
Make sure that you provided all the details for the app including the in app purchase details along with screen shot.
Next is to make sure that the app ID's are same in server and in the app.
When testing in-app purchase, create test account in app store and use it for testing. Make sure that the mail you are using is not existing. Also on your device, you have to use those test credentials to test the app.
Hope this helps.
Yes, it is possible as I just managed to do it. My problem was tax info. Thanks to Paul Mason, your comment was the correct answer!

My iPhone app will be a free app but for some special content, users need to buy.
For example I have 4 files for free and if the user want to buy another file he has to purchase it. I am sure that I need to use Server Product Model to deliver the content.

iPhone Dev. Apps: "Promo Codes" button in iTunes is missing

I have got a few apps in my iTunes Developer Backend.
Since yesterday the "Promo Code" button is missing in some of my apps details view. The rest of my apps have still this button and I can download promocodes. Does any one know this problem and maybe solved it?
Thx :-)
Thank you for contacting Apple
Developer Support with regard to
iTunes Connect Promo Codes. Please
know that applications which are rated
17+ will not be provided Promotional
Codes for distribution. As such, the
usual button to request Promo Codes in
iTunes Connect will not be visible for
these applications on the Version
Details page.
If one controls what you ship, is it censorship or dictatorship?
Are you looking under the currently shipping version? should be alongside the Manage Localizations
They did move around in the update to iTunesConnect a few months back.
Is your app rated 17+ ?
Apple recently turn off promo codes for applications rated 17+.
I had this same problem so I emailed Apple. Here is their reply:

That solved the mystery for me.
Just in case anyone is still looking, I found the Promo Codes button under the Features tab NOT the App Store tab of the app details page in iTunes Connect.
