"In App Purchasing" still wont work after trying all these steps - ios

Question

i have carried out these several steps for five non consumable in app purchases to be available within my app but still nothing is showing up when i go to the TableViewController that i linked the IAP code to... (i would also like to give a big thanks to the tutorial i followed which has got me this far by raywenderlich)
-Made a new app ID
-Successfully followed all the steps for linking and downloading certificates
Changed the bundle ID on xcode for my project to the one i made for
my app on IOS developer portal
-Linked all the devices and made a test user account
-Made the non consumable IAP on itunes connect and used the Identifiers within the IAP coding
-Signed my phone out of my itunes account so tht its ready to be used with a test account
-Coding for the IAP looks to be correct with store kit imported and product identifiers implemented within the .m file
-Waited 24 hours for the newly created IAP to sync with itunes connect
-I DIDNT upload the binaries!
i have hosting with apple turned on but didnt upload anything - could
this be the issue?
i deleted the app on my phone and reinstalled for testing but still
nothing
All i get when i successfull run the build is a page that looks like its loading something but then nothing a blank page that i can pull down to refresh on but still nothing no IAP that i created.
Any suggestions of what else i can do or add and if you need me to upload all the codes for all the files i can do...

So just to summarise...
Used StoreKit to access the In-App Purchase APIs and retrieve the
list which brings up nothing when i run the build
Specified the product identifiers for my app
Displaying the products which seems to be an issue though it does
show a screen like its about to load something then nothing just a
page with a pull to refresh on it

Answer 1

For any one that finds this post in the future, the reason no items where showing up when requesting IAP was due to content not being uploaded for hosted content.
