I had app in App store in which I have in-app purchase to unlock some features. But in the current versions of the I thought of removing all the in-app purchase within the app and give all features for free.
But Apple has reject my app for the following reason :
From Apple
4.0 BEFORE YOU SUBMIT: INFO NEEDED
Information Needed
We have begun the review of your app but aren't able to continue because we can't locate the In-App Purchase(s) within your app.
At your earliest opportunity, please reply to this message providing the steps for locating the In-App Purchase(s) in your app.
Please let me whether should I inform apple review team about this in review notes or should I remove all in-app purchase from sale.
I fear removing in-app purchase from will affect the existing user using older version of the app.
Any help is appreciated.
You can submit the app by adding an explanation in review notes section. This will accepted by Apple. Also your app will get approved.
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.
I created an application for submission in Itunes Connect and assigned some in-app purchases to the application. I sent it for review and it was rejected. I got the reasons why it was rejected and also the following:
We have returned your IAP product/s to you as the required binary was not submitted. When you are ready to submit the binary, please resubmit the IAPs with the binary.
Now when I go to the Application Details page, I can edit the meta-data and screenshots and so on, but I find no way where to assign the in-app items to the application.
Any help?

Have to re-submit your app then go into the in-app purchase section and edit the language settings.
I am trying to add in-app purchasing to an ios application which has been available on ios since 2010. According to Apple, I must submit my first in-app feature along with submitting an update to the application. The problem is that I can't test the in-app purchasing process in my code until the in-app feature is listed on the App Store. But Apple won't list the in-app feature on the App Store until they approve the product update. This is a very bad Catch-22. In my most recent attempt (third try), I put draft, untested code in the product to handle the in-app purchase. But of course I can't test it until Apple puts the feature to be in-app purchased on the price list.
Am I missing something? The Apple Review people sent me to Apple Tech Support. The Apple Tech Support people sent me to Apple Review. Any ideas to work around their Catch-22?
You should be able to implement the In App Purchase system into your app version as well as creating an iAP item in iTunes Connect, then use a Sandbox account to test purchasing of the content. The iAP doesn't have to be approved for that.
Sandbox accounts can be made in iTunes Connect under 'Manage Users'.

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.
