I’m trying to implement in app purchases in a free application.
I have created a productd id “test1” within the in app purchases manager in itunes connect portal.
When I make the product request in the following way:
- (id)init {
NSSet *productIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObjects:
@"test1",
nil];
if ((self = [self initWithProductIdentifiers:productIdentifiers])) {
}
return self;
}
- (id)initWithProductIdentifiers:(NSSet *)productIdentifiers
{
if ((self = [super init]))
{
// Store product identifiers
_productIdentifiers = [productIdentifiers retain];
// Check for previously purchased products
NSMutableSet * purchasedProducts = [NSMutableSet set];
for (NSString * productIdentifier in _productIdentifiers)
{
BOOL productPurchased = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:productIdentifier];
if (productPurchased)
{
[purchasedProducts addObject:productIdentifier];
NSLog(@"Previously purchased: %@", productIdentifier);
}
NSLog(@"Not purchased: %@", productIdentifier);
}
self.purchasedProducts = purchasedProducts;
}
return self;
}
- (void)productsRequest:(SKProductsRequest *)request didReceiveResponse:(SKProductsResponse *)response {
NSLog(@"Received products results...");
self.products = response.products;
self.request = nil;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kProductsLoadedNotification object:_products];
NSLog(@"%d",[self.products count]);
NSEnumerator *e = [self.products objectEnumerator];
id object;
while(object=[e nextObject])
{
NSLog(@"item");
NSLog(@"%s",(char*)object);
}
}
- (void)requestProducts {
self.request = [[[SKProductsRequest alloc] initWithProductIdentifiers:_productIdentifiers] autorelease];
_request.delegate = self;
[_request start];
}
The response is always 0. I don’t understand what am I doing wrong. This code came from a tutorial. The documentation regarding in app purchases tend to be quite confusing and the whole process in itunes connect doesnt give me confidence.
I thought the application needed to be online for sale for in app purchases to be working. However, I decided not to included in app purchases, but let the in app purchase in itunes connect for review. During the review process, the application was rejected because it should be working with the in app purchases for testing.
But how do I test in app purchases if the product listing comes always at zero?
If someone with more experience could give me an advice on this, since i’m already getting crazy with it!
Thanks,
With my best regards,
Nuno
The most coherent solution I found to this problem was this checklist. It should be wide spreaded in order to avoid anyone passing by the same problem which is really time consuming and desperating:
