Swift - Xcode not finding in app purchase - ios

Question

I am trying to implement a removing ads in app purchase into my application. However, whenever I test it out, it keeps telling me it has not found the product ID. I have triple checked the product ID, and it is correct. I can't seem to figure out the problem. This is what prints to the console:
Product not found: com.myCoolAwesomeApp.mjay.noAds
var product: SKProduct?
var productID = "com.myCoolAwesomeApp.mjay.noAds"
func getPurchaseInfo() {
if SKPaymentQueue.canMakePayments() {
let request = SKProductsRequest(productIdentifiers: NSSet(objects: self.productID) as! Set<String>)
request.delegate = self
request.start()
} else {
productDescription.text = "Please enable In App Purchases in your settings."
}
}
func productsRequest(_ request: SKProductsRequest, didReceive response: SKProductsResponse) {
var products = response.products
if (products.count) == 0 {
productDescription.text = "Product not found."
} else {
product = products[0]
productDescription.text = product!.localizedDescription
buyButton.isEnabled = true
}
let invalids = response.invalidProductIdentifiers
for product in invalids {
print("Product not found: \(product)")
}
}
func paymentQueue(_ queue: SKPaymentQueue, updatedTransactions transactions: [SKPaymentTransaction]) {
for transaction in transactions {
switch transaction.transactionState {
case SKPaymentTransactionState.purchased:
SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction)
productDescription.text = "Purchase Successful"
buyButton.isEnabled = false
let save = UserDefaults.standard
save.set(true, forKey: "Purchase")
save.synchronize()
case SKPaymentTransactionState.failed:
SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction)
productDescription.text = "Purchase Failed. Try again later."
default:
break
}
}
}
}

I run into the exact similar problem. Here are some steps that needs to be adressed/checked after reading this technical note from Apple:
Create a unique App ID
Enable in-app purchasing for this App ID
Generate and install a new provisioning profile on your device
Update the bundle ID and code signing profile in Xcode
Check that your project’s .plist Bundle ID match your App ID
Complete your contract, tax, and banking Information. You need a VALID contract
As mentioned by the official doc there is NO need to submit binaries neither submit screenshot of in-app purchase. I have seen a lot of missleading info about this on various blogs.
After checking you have addressed each point in this list, delete your app and reinstall it.
I was basically missing two things on my side: setting up correctly my contract for ios Paid app and i didn't install the new provisioning profile on my device. May be that was your issue?
