I've created my iTunes Connect in-app test user and implemented all my in-app purchase code. I clicked on the home button -> settings -> appstore -> signout button. I launch my app through xcode. When it goes to perform a purchase transaction it continues to bring up my real itunes connect user info prompting me for the password. Even though it shows me as signed out in the settings appstore screen it never prompts me to enter my test user's email address when I'm testing in-app purchases.
Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Might try rebooting your device. If you go into the AppStore.app, Featured Tab, and scroll all the way to the bottom where it should show your login name, are you still signed in?
Make sure you did not install your development version over distribution version.
My case:
I’ve downloaded my application from Apple AppStore – distribution version. Later, started debug session over installed application and got the same situation as described the question author. No sandbox environment for in-app purchase.
Solution:
Just uninstall the application and start debug/test your application again – xcode will install development version to your device.
Now there is a new way to log in and log out test users. Under
Settings -> iTunes & App Store
You can manage your current sandbox user. If you log out the sandbox user there you will be asked to give the email address for your user when you try buying inside your app.

Well, I'm having this issue now. I'm using MKStoreKit in my in-app purchase. This are my errors:
Failed transaction: <SKPaymentTransaction: 0x136a62e0>
error: Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=2 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" UserInfo=0x13654a90 {NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot connect to iTunes Store}
Any idea?
You may remove that error via cross checking this check list.
If your answer is no for any of the points then it may be causing the problem
Have you enabled In-App Purchases for your App ID?
Have you checked Cleared for Sale for your product?
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 using the full product ID when making an SKProductRequest?
Have you waited several hours since adding your product to iTunes Connect?
Are your bank details active on iTunes Connect?
Is your device jailbroken? If so, you need to revert the jailbreak for IAP to work.
For iOS7 and Xcode 5 Try doing this:
You have to test on a physical device as apple restrict IAP testing in the simulator.
Go to setting -> iTunes & App Store -> and log out of your account.
Remove app from device and clean all data.
Most importantly do logout from your current iTunes account in your device before trying to do any purchase.
Make sure you have done all necessary steps for in-App purchase testing.
As of September/October 2013, iOS7 simulators cannot process app store inapp purchase requests.
You need to use a real device
Imagine, you created new app profile in My Apps of itunes connect. Added in-app. All correct.
Now you want to test purchases. It shows list of products but stops on buy button with "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" error in log.
This is because you try to buy not approved and not existing product!
You can test only sandbox product right now.
So, you have to
create sandbox user (in itunes connect - users...)
logout you real itunes login on device
try to buy under sandbox login (it will ask you)
Had same issue and I just remembered not any apple id will work. You have to create a testing apple id in itunes connect / manage users/ test user / add new user.
Try putting a build number in. Target > General > Identity > Build.
This solved it for me.
I"m testing an in-app purchase using my iPhone on iOS5 but despite going to Settings > General > Store > Log out (as I've seen on many websites), I can only enter a password when prompted in my app. The username appears to be stuck as my primary Apple ID (used in the stores). Somewhere there must be a setting to sign out completely on the device, but I can't find it.
Anyone know how to fully sign out of the iTunes store on the device to test in app purchases?
Open the App Store, scroll to the bottom in the "Featured"-pane. You should see your account there, click it and log out.
I previously successfully created an app including in-app and was able to test then in sandbox environment before submitting to app store.
Now I am working on update. I am not able to test in-app in sandbox. I have my iphone logged out of app store. When I click on purchase, it takes me to credit card info.
I eliminated the test user and creates a new test user but the same thing is happening.
Please help
I figured the issue. We need to delete the previous installation of app from device before we do this test.
I have an ad-hoc deployment of my iOS game, which includes in-app purchase. It is correctly set up with a purchasable item on itunes, and I have test users on itunes. I am able to successfully test it with my own iPod, and with a friend's iPod -- I can choose the item to purchase, get the price info correctly from the Apple server, choose to buy, enter the Apple ID and password for one of the test users, an the purchase completes successfully.
Another friend also installed the game on his iPhone and was starting to look at in-app purchase, but he followed an incorrect procedure, an now we can't get in-app purchase to work on his iPhone at all.
Specifically, he correctly signed himself out of the Store via the Settings application, then ran the game and chose the item to purchase. It correctly retrieved the price information. However, when the standard UI popped up and where he was supposed to click "Use an Existing Apple ID" he chose "Create a New Apple ID" by mistake. This brought him out of the game (game was sent to the background) and over to the web page to fill in the details for a new user. He realized that was wrong and returned to the game. But when he then tried to repeat he process, after retrieving the price info (again successfully), when he went to initiate the purchase, it errors out and never shows the standard UI where he can choose Existing Apple ID or Create New. So it's like his phone was left in a funny state. He tried rebooting the phone, reinstalling the app. Same problem. Then I recommended that he log in to the Store via the Settings app using his regular account, download a couple free apps, and then log out of the Store via the Settings app and try again. My thought was that this full process would somehow "clear out" whatever bad state his phone was in. But no dice. Same problem.
We can't figure out what state his device is in such that it fails when going to the purchase step of this sandbox in-app purchase process. I am still able to successfully complete the process on more than one other devices, so I don't think it's a problem with the state of the purchasable item or test users on itunes. It seems to be something specific to his device. I also had him using iPhone Config. Utility to watch the Console log as he went through this process. Very little was seen -- just an error code coming back after trying to initiate the purchase. (Nothing about PIPELINING errors and other web-service type errors that I've seen before when in-app purchase wasn't set up correctly on the sandbox.)
Any ideas on what state his phone could be in with respect to (sandbox) in-app purchase, and how we can clear it out?
Reset your network settings (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Network Settings)
Turn off your iPhone and turn it on again.
Wait for 15 min (This is the time iOS caches AppStore credentials)
Try running the app again.
I have completed in app purchase for my application. Its working fine.
The only problem i have , when i test in app purchase in sandbox enviornment, It shows a message do you want to buy an "un known app" for 1.79. why doesnt it shows the name of the app.
Plus when i am going to upload the final binary to app store. what i need to do to swrich in app purchase from sandbox enviornment to real in app purchase or it will switch automaticall?
Thanks guys
Probably your configuration on iTunes connect for this in app purchase is wrong, maybe you forgot to enter the name.
Go to iTunes connect, Manage you in app purchases, select the desired app, and make sure that you have all the fields correctly filled.
When you release on the app store, you don't have to do anything, the sandbox environment is just used when you are developing, when the app is uploaded to the app store, this behavior changes and you can't use your sandbox account anymore
Hope that helps.
When I added in-app purchase support to my application, I had already released a version so there was an entry in iTunes Connect. But I've read that you need to add a new application in iTunes Connect, but check the option to upload a binary later. Then you can enable In-App Purchase on it and configure items.
And your sandbox does not go away after the application is submitted. The In-App Purchase system determines whether to use a sandbox based on the account that is currently logged in to the store on the device. I think as long as you don't have a credit card (or any payment information?) associated with the account, and the account is designated as a In-App Purchase Test User in iTunes Connect, it will use the sandbox. You can log out and use a different account through the "Store" item in Settings.
