I'm trying to learn in app purchase I have upload an app which is a test app, rejected the binary so it has the status rejected by developer.
I created an in app purchase product, but I have this warning at the top :
Your first In-App Purchase(s) must be submitted with a new app version. Select them from the In-App Purchases section of the Version Details page and then click Ready to Upload Binary.
and the status of my in app purchase is always :
ready to subnmit.
I tried to re submit my test app, so that status was back to waiting for review, then went too my in app purchase it still had the same line above at the top and still the status of ready to submit.
I then re rejected my my main binary but the status of my in app purchase is still the same.
I dont understand how I can go from there.
Tks for all the help !

I found the solution, I didn't read the instruction properly, but going back to my general app , in the view details a new section appeared where I could link my in app purchases to the app, I missed it somehow.
might help somebody else that missed it too !

I read many answers here with similar problems but none helped me to get my app approved. It's been 3 weeks of trial and error. I am totally frustrated of it.
What I am trying to do:
I am submitting my first app (there is no other app with my account created yet).
I have one in-app purchase (nonconsumable) in my app that removes ads and opens all content.
Sounds easy right?
I have been rejected for a few different reasons that has one thing in common - they (Apple testers) cannot successfully perform in-app purchase.
What I did:
Successfully bought and restored in app-purchase with my sandbox user.
At first I was using swifty storekit library. Got refused with "Unknown error. Please contact support" So I ditched this library and Implemented whole code myself, according to apple documentation.
As I read there can be problem with my agreements, tax and banking settings in Itunes connect - found out that there was red line about transfering my account settings (dont remember exact line) - did dissapear after 2 days by itself as I read in some answer here. There is no problem there now.
Did find out that I must wait some time before in-app purchase starts working. I takes about 2 days to in-app purchases start working with testflight user, so waited until it starts to work - then successfully bought in-app purchase and restore also works fine even with testflight testing account. (again got refused)
there is not exactly stated how to submit first in-app purchase ever, it is just said submit with binary. I did not get this at first, found out that I should not send in app purchase by itself, but I should "append" my in app purchase in the same form as I am sending my app. At first I tried to send my in app purchase in its own formular. But then I got rejected with error "We found that while you have submitted in-app purchase products for your app, the in-app purchase functionality is not present in your binary." (I say it again - there must be api there as I can successfully buy app with test account).
read in some other answer that I can ask to get my in app purchase approved, so I write "please approve my in app purchase - they did, but I got refused.
Now I cannot select this in app purchase with my binary, as it is not shown for selection probably because it is already approved. So I did submit app without it and got the "in-app purchase functionality is not present in your binary" error again.
Created new in app purchase, this one can be selected to be submited with app. Got rejected again, with error.
"can not connect to iTunes"
In app-purchase is then switched to "Developer Action Needed". This is probably a good thing as if they would approve it then I could not select it with binary as it would be invisible.
What else should I try? What to change? Where to look? I am totaly lost. 3 weeks of time lost. As I cannot reproduce the problem I cannot solve it. Programing is easy, but to get app approved looks like imposible.

What I did next: recorded video of myself successfully buying in app purchase with my testflight account and uploaded it to youtube, added link to my reply form.
Next try: I sent them this message:
"Good evening,
I am totally out of options. Is there anybody at apple who I can consult this? ... Because, everything is working on my side. As I cannot reproduce your problems I can't make it right.
I have tested it with my sandbox user - it works - I can make a purchase successfully and I can restore it too. I noticed that with testflight it needs some time to start working (about two days). So with this build I waited two days and when it did start working on testflight i submited my app. This is my first submit of app ever, should I do something special? You already approved my first in-app purchase in one of my trials, but I cannot select it to be published with my app as it is already approved (it is not shown, so cannot be selected) and if i dont submit it with my app then I got rejected with confusing error stating that in app purchase api is not included. So I created second in-app purchase - the one submited here which is now after rejection in "Developer Action Needed" as you rejected the app. So what can I do now? Don't you need to wait some time after you approve my in app purchase (submited with the app) to start working? Did you approve my in-app purchase which I submited with my app by the way? Please dont send me link to the documentation. As everything works on my side there is nothing I can find there. Give me some advice or contact to someone who can Investigate what is wrong on your side, as you cannot make it work... thank you in advance"
After rougly one day, status did change (they changed) to "in review", and after another half hour I did get email with "Congratulations! We're pleased to let you know that your app, Juggling, has been approved for the App Store"
So to answer my own question ... how to get through application approval? I don't know. What I did wrong, what should I do? I don't know. Are there real people there or artificial inteligence? I don't know. What exactly was the problem? I don't know. What did finally do a change? I don't know. Hope this answers will help next generations of programmers get their apps approved in the future. (Pun intended)
Thank you
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.
I am facing an issue regarding the In App purchase. I had launched my app v1.0 before with In-App purchase. Now i uploaded the v1.1 with In-App purchase. The app is showing "Waiting for Review" status. But the In-App purchase is still showing "Waiting for upload". What is this kind of issue. How can i resolve this. Please help.
First reject the old binary. Then delete the in app purchase newer version and then re-upload the binary.
Do not need rejection of binary and deleting of all in-App-Purchase..
"Waiting for Upload" because you preferred to share your content with Apple (you maybe chose it or missed it).
On the screen, where is written "Waiting for Upload", there is two button [edit] [delete].
Just delete new version of in-App-Purchase.
It is not necessary to add new version of IAP, you can just edit it!!!
Regards :)

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.
Six steps from Apple, Workflow for configuring in-app purchases
Sign a Paid Applications Agreement
Configure in-app purchases in App Store Connect
I thought the In App Purchase link is here, which Ahsan.Amin means, iOS Version 13.2
Enable in-app purchase in Xcode
Design and create your in-app purchase
Test in-app purchases
Publish your app and in-app purchase on the App Store
I have just finished my first app and finished all the instructions I have seen so ao to upload it to iTunes. Now, I see in the Itunes>Manage Your Application
Version1.0
Status Prepare for Upload
Date CreatedSep 23, 2012
next to the app icon.
Do I have to do anything else or it just waits approval from apple?
I know that this is not a programming question but I did't know where to aski and googling for it gave me nothing.
I have found that prepare for upload means that:
Prepare for Upload (Yellow)
Appears as the first status for your app. This status means that you should enter or edit metadata, screenshots, pricing, In-App Purchases, Game Center, iAd network settings, etc., to prepare your app for upload to the App Store.
but I have submitted add data and screenshots. How can I proceed to the next level?
Preparing an app for submission means configuring its metadata , or related in app purchases or if its a game then configuring game center , so once you are over with developing your app then you are ready to submit it to the iTunes app store review . so in your case you can follow the this link to upload your app to the app store. hope this would help.
