Missing IAPs - although IAPs are “Waiting For Review” - ios

My App got rejected because of missing in app purchases although my products in iTunes as "Waiting for review" , Apple send provided information in Resolution center as:
Missing IAPs
Upon further review of your app, we are unable to complete the review of your app since one or more of your In App Purchases have not been submitted for review.
Specifically, we noticed your have not submitted the subscription In App Purchases for review.
Can anyone suggest me how could i solve this issue thanks..

Take a look at the below ScreenShot.
When you try to save all your data for the app submittion, then there is a "+" button on this page, Form where you need to select the InApp Product Ids for your apps if you have set up your In App correctly.
If all is good then it there will be your selected In Apps(Product Ids) shown here and then save your data.
Now when you put your app for submittion then your In App and your app both will be in waiting for review state.
NOTE
Your In App must be sumbitted at the same time when you submit your app.
Hope this helps you.

IAP Rejected because required binary was not submitted issue

I have submitted an Unity(iphone) app with in-app purchase But my Binary is rejected.
I got the following message from apple:
"We have returned your in-app purchase products to you as the required binary was not submitted. When you are ready to submit the binary, please resubmit the in-app purchase products with the binary."
IAP work fine during testing on device. Submitted IAP has a screenshot and have been added to the submission before hitting the submit button.
I have shipped my build in android and working fine. In ios every thing is done expect IAP issue.I have changed productIdentifier many times but no success found.
Please help me find the solution.
I was having the same issue getting my IAP products approved. There is no clear way to resubmit them once they are rejected, there is also no way to submit a build with you IAP products.(This might be fixed in the future)
This is the way I was able to get them approved:
1- In iTunes connect go to: Features -> In-App purchases and open the product that you want to submit. For me the status was "Developer action required". Once you open it, make some changes to the Localizations section and save the the IAP product, this should change the status from "Developer action needed" to "Waiting for review". You can revert the changes you made. (This step was suggested to me by apple)
2- The second step is getting them to review the IAP subscriptions with the build you submit. Again there was no way for me to do so. So what I ended up doing is adding some notes to the "App Reviewer Information" section. Something like this:
I got the same issue. Actually in my case i added the new version of app.I forgot to uplaod the binary for the new version & submitted the In App purchase for review. So they sent my In app purchase product back.
I did not change my In app purchase product. did the minor changes in the description and saved it.
I just uploaded the binary for Test Flight.

Retrieving In App Purchase products that has not been submitted yet?

I am currently developing an IOS App (XCode 8 beta w/ Swift 3) that pulls IAP products. I am running things on the simulator currently.
I am following this tutorial: https://www.raywenderlich.com/122144/in-app-purchase-tutorial
Issue
When i request for products i am not retrieving anything. I am 1 IAP product on iTunesConnect that is in "Ready to submit" state.
Question
Is it possible to retrieve IAP products that are in "Ready to submit" state?
If not, how to test IAP purchases BEFORE submitting (or having the app/iap approved)?
The answer is NO, you can't retrieve your IAP unless you submit them for review and they get approved.
Also, please note that submitting new IAP for your next app version that is still in development will not have any effect on your current one, and users won't even discover that.
This is the same as if you used to have an IAP then remove it from sale, then it won't be available for users.
Also, think about managing your IAP availability using a web service in your website or a downloadable configuration data. This would allow you, for example, to add or disable occasional promotional IAP for your app WITHOUT having to update the app itself.
Finally, be sure that all your IAP are submitted before you submit your app's binary for review. I once had an app rejected because one of the IAP was not working, due to rejected description (too short).
Good luck
As of June 2018 I don't believe the other answers are correct. Certainly not for apps that already have one IAP approved.
I have an app on the App Store with several IAPs (non-consumables, and an auto-renewing subscription) approved and live.
I'm now trying to add another auto-renewing subscription.
I created my new auto-renewing sub, and it is currently in the state Ready to Submit. It is not approved. When I request it via SKProductsRequest, it is in the results. Note that i'm running in a debug build configuration which is I'm guessing is necessary for this unapproved IAP to show up.
So my answer is: yes, you can retrieve IAPs that have not been submitted yet.
I was working on IAP and came across this question, I am answering it for those who will be implementing this now and after. I don't know about eariler but now you can test IAP products that are in "Ready to submit" state. I have followed the same tutorial and its working without submitting product for review for sandbox testing environment. You only need to submit your products for review for them to work live on appStore.
As I commented you need to submit your IAP products to be able to test them.
You need to submit them to test your IAP products. Even if your app is live you can submit your products and test them but they will not appear in your app till you don't add their product identifiers when you initialise your SKProductsRequest.
Don't forget to create a sandbox user to login in App Store with that user to test your IAP products. You should see [Environment: sandbox] in the alert to confirm your buy.

App Rejected but in app purchase is in review

Our app has been rejected but in app is in review. Now we are ready to resubmit the binary, but we are unable to select the previously added in app purchase from the app summary page. The option to select in app purchase is unavailable. I cant even create a new in app and delete the previous one (because the previous one is In Review).
So my question is, whether the In APP purchase is already attached to the app or not, if i resubmit the binary, will the previously submitted In-APP gets reviewed and attached to the app or not.
Please advise.
They are not attached although Apple guideline is that you submit you very first in-app purchase item with your app. All other in-app purchase items can be created and submitted independently.
If you resubmit your app and first in-app purchase item passes review you will be able to use it.

iOS In App Purchases rejection: Missing IAPs

I have submitted an iphone app with in-app purchase But my Binary is rejected and I have got the following message from Apple
From Apple. Missing IAPs
We are unable to complete the review of your app since one or more of your In App Purchases have not been submitted for review.
Please be sure to take action and submit your In App Purchases AND upload a new binary in iTunes Connect. Learn more about submitting In App Purchases for review in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.
Once you've submitted your In App Purchases and uploaded a new binary, we can proceed with your review.
My questions is Should i create a new binary and upload it or can i resubmit the binary which the In App Purchase has been rejected ?
looks like an old post but but making it more detailed because I myself faced it and made me searching multiple posts for actual steps.
First of all, you don't need to create a new binary because you just forgot to select In App purchases for review. Below are the steps how you can do this
Before making the Application "Ready to Upload" you need to select all the In App Purchases in Applicatin's Detail Page.
At iTunes Connect -> Click your application -> Click Edit -> scroll to bottom, you would see In App Purchase link, select the In Apps you want to make the part of your Application Submission Process. Once you are confirmed then change your product status to "Ready to Upload Binary"
If somehow you forgot to do that then there is only 1 way. Which is Reject and then Re Do the process I mentioned above.
you missed to submit the in app purchases for review . Now each of your in app must have its status as " Waiting For Review " . You can submit your binary and related in app purchases to the apple review process . You should create a new binary and submit it to the app store review process.Hope this helps.
Here is my case. All info is included in the reply to Apple.
Thanks very much for reviewing the app.
On IAP a few days before,
our Product Manager did not know in-app purchase products subscription well .
In order to get more free user,
he sent three months subscription for free to new registered users
by adjusting member date on the server side.
After a lot of querying,
we will use IAP App Store Promotions to get more free user,
instead of changing the member date simply on the server side.
We have completed in-app purchases,
and will upload a new binary in App Store Connect soon.
Subscription issue, not on the iOS client Side, but on the server side.
I replied. After a while, I see the place "to submit the in app purchase" in an iOS product on App Store once.
I handled, and it disappeared. Very interesting.
I have not seen the place "to submit the in app purchase" in an iPad product on App Store.
On App Store Reviewing Issue, honest communication is very important.
Yes, you should create a new binary and upload it.
You should do what Apple told you to do.
This is my case.
Firstly, you should add meta info to IAP products.
The meta info, is an image with its description.
Get it ready.
Then Apple will add IAP Add Options in the app version page, which is to be reviewed, after some time.

Apple In App Purchases

I have an app with version 1.2 on the App Store and it's also been accepted by Apple. I have added In App Purchases to the app, also tested these in the sandbox.
Now I have uploaded the same binary for review to Apple that contains the In App Purchases.
My binary seems to have the correct status 'Waiting For Review' but my In App Purchases are still showing 'Ready To Submit' and I can't see any option to submit them.
Am I doing something wrong, or will Apple automatically change the In App Purchases' status to "Ready For Sale"?
There might be some problem regarding your contract (might not be valid)
If these are your first in app purchases for this app they need to be selected when submitting the binary for review. See Apple's guide linked below.
