I recently uploaded an application that got rejected by Apple due to in-app purchases, the application had a login page before the in-app purchase, which is not allowed.
Now I want to delete the in-app purchase from the application, all the code has been commented out, but how do I de-activate the in-app purchase in iTunes Connect.
I know there is a switch called “Cleared for Sale” in the Manage In-App Purchase section of iTunes connect, but my question is if that is enough to just set that switch to No.
Do that de-activate any in-app purchase references for the application and will the app be reviewed without in-app purchase?
Or is there any other things I must consider to get the application through the review without in-app purchase.
This is message from Apple that triggered the rejection:
17.2 We found that your app requires customers to register with personal information to access non-account-based features, which is
not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically,
users must register to purchase additional content. Apps cannot
require user registration prior to allowing access to app features and
content that are not associated specifically to the user. User
registration that requires the sharing of personal information must
be optional or tied to account-specific functionality. Additionally,
the requested information must be relevant to the features.
Removing the in-app purchase access point (button action etc) from the application code is adequate Sounds like you have that covered.
It is not necessary once the code is removed. However, to remove In-App purchased do the following.
Re-submit and good luck!
