MKStoreKit Implementation - iphone

Question

I have spent the last 2 days fighting trying to get in app purchases working! The app has not been approved by Apple (its not ready yet), so I just did the Developer Pulled Binary method. I added a non-consumable (and I am pretty sure my contracts are cleared) and called it com.MYAPP.MYAPPNAME.levelone
I am using the MKStoreKit 3.1 relevant
I just want to see that the item will appear in the NSLog for the app, so I have this in my App Delagate
- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application
{
[MKStoreManager sharedManager];
[[MKStoreManager sharedManager] purchasableObjectsDescription];
...
When I run this it just tells me
Problem in iTunes connect configuration for product: com.mycompany.myapp.005
Problem in iTunes connect configuration for product: com.mycompany.myapp.featureA
This is a Cocos2d based game if it makes any difference.

Answer 1

There are reasons why I didn't implement MKStoreManager to accept a set of products as parameters.
1) You should not litter your code with hard coded product ids. This is because you initiate a purchase request with a product id. The former happens on AppDelegate and the latter happens on one of your view controllers. So there should be some file where you put in all those product constants. Why not use MKStoreManager.h itself for that?

Answer 2

MKStoreKit 3.1 requires some configuration before you use it; it doesn't just work out of the box.
Specifically, you need to tell MKStoreKit the list of features/product identifiers that you have configured in iTunes Connect. Oddly, you do that by modifying the source code, instead of passing in an array of arguments.
Examine MKStoreManager.h lines 26-34:
// CONFIGURATION STARTS -- Change this in your app
define kConsumableBaseFeatureId #"com.mycompany.myapp."
#define kFeatureAId #"com.mycompany.myapp.featureA"
#define kConsumableFeatureBId #"com.mycompany.myapp.005"
// consumable features should have only number as the last part of the product name
// MKStoreKit automatically keeps track of the count of your consumable product
#define SERVER_PRODUCT_MODEL 0
// CONFIGURATION ENDS -- Change this in your app
You have to change that stuff. If you don't, you'll get errors like the one you posted.
But that's not the only place. You also have to update the requestProductData implementation function in MKStoreManager.m, where kFeatureAId and kConsumableFeatureBId are used.
-(void) requestProductData
{
SKProductsRequest *request= [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:[NSSet setWithObjects:
kFeatureAId,
kConsumableFeatureBId,
nil]];
request.delegate = self;
[request start];
}
You have to specify the product identifier list yourself; MKStoreKit can't guess it for you.
Still, it's weird. It makes you wish MKStoreKit would just accept an array of product identifiers in its initializer!

Answer 3

Remove the unused products inside MKStoreManager.m as follows
-(void) requestProductData
{
SKProductsRequest *request= [[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:[NSSet setWithObjects:
kFeatureAId,
//kConsumableFeatureBId,
nil]];
request.delegate = self;
[request start];
}
