Comments on: Invalid Product IDs http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/ Mistakes and learnings of an iPhone developer Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:22:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: JJ http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/invalid-product-ids/comment-page-1/#comment-579 JJ Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:51:00 +0000 http://troybrant.net/blog/?p=5#comment-579 Hi everyone, I did not find any problem so I decided to ask a friend's developer license to set up all the thing. It worked at the very first try. The only problem that comes to my mind is that my bank info is not properly configured (although it has the green tick). Anyway, I can guarantee 100% that is not necessary to Build the app in distribution mode nor upload any binary to iTunes Connect. Trust me, Ive been trying all the suggestions that appear in this post as well as many others. Hi everyone,

Yes Have you checked Cleared for Sale for your product? It's Cleared for Sale and Pending Developer Approval Have you submitted (and optionally rejected) your application binary? My App is now "In Review" Does your project’s .plist Bundle ID match your App ID? Proviosioning Portal, APP ID: M7572N7T45.com.mobilecom.AAAA. iTunes Connect, Bundle ID: com.mobilecom.AAAA, productID: com.mobilecom.BBBB. Plist file, Bundle ID: com.mobilecom.AAA Have you generated and installed a new provisioning profile for the new App ID? Absolutely, Distribution Provisioning Profile, btw Have you configured your project to code sign using this new provisioning profile? Yes Are you building for iPhone OS 3.0 or above? 3.0 to be precise Are you using the full product ID when when making an SKProductRequest? Im using the product ID I see in iTunes Connect: com.mobilecom.BBBB Have you waited several hours since adding your product to iTunes Connect? 24 hours already, should I wait longer? Are your bank details active on iTunes Connect? I activated the yesterday and a green tick appears since then. Im building for distribution. The only things that come into my mind is to Approve the InApp Purchase (Ive read that it's not necessary) or to wait longer than 24 hours since I created the InApp Purchase. Any other suggestion?

Another case: If the "Product Name" in your build settings under section "Packaging" does not match the name of the application in iTunes connect it does not work either! (Another day in my live i will never get back...) Regards, Anton Hi!

Found the solution - your app needs to be transferred by Xcode for the sandbox to be enabled. Obvious, right? Well, if you are working with an update to an existing account, the device will still treat it as an App Store-installed app. Delete it, then transfer it again. It should work now :) I tried everything suggested in the Apple forums and here, and still couldn’t get it to work.

I've been struggling for hours, wasn't till I built my app for distribution that it all worked. Got everything else right. Makes debugging quite hard though! Fantastic list.

However, if it's left in "Waiting For Review" it works. I just tested this a few times in a row and it seems that rejecting the binary causes the products response to be empty.

Easiest way to find this is to go to iTunes Connect->Manage Your In-App Purchases and look at the ProductID column. if it looks SOMETHING like: "com.company.appname.productID" then you have to use the entire string. 3: You *must* build for "Distribution" (not debug) *and* have your iPhone Device hooked up *and* build for device...not simulator. This "gets" a lot of people. Reason #3 is the one that bit me. A couple of things you might want to remember:

1: Developer Rejected status will cause your productID lookup to fail even though the In-App Purchases have been set to “Cleared for Sale” *and* your productIDs are correct.
