In App Purchase Products not found

Question

I have created an app with bundle identifier

com.myapp

Now I added two In App Purchase items. Following are the product ids

com.myapp.product1

com.myapp.product2

Now when I fetch list of products, it does not show any product.

I use following code to load products list

  let request = SKProductsRequest(productIdentifiers: Set(remainingIds))
        request.delegate = self
        loadProductsRequests.append(LoadProductsRequestInfo(request: request, completion: completion))
        request.start()

The code works fine, If I use other project's product & bundle ids. But when I try for my project, it can't load list of products

It seems the issue is due to the structure of bundle identifier. Kindly help me.

What is the status of your product identifiers? are they 'Ready to submit'? or 'Waiting for upload'? – Candancecandela

Answer 1

Your code seems proper to request the products.

Make sure you have added your products with bundle ids and other required details under iTunes Connect application under in-app purchase category.

One more thing - Apple will not allow receiving the product list from in-app until you fill the forms under “Agreement tax and Banking” on iTunes connect.

Below is the code to receive the product list which may helpful to you.

func productsRequest (_ request: SKProductsRequest, didReceive response: SKProductsResponse) {

        let count : Int = response.products.count
        if (count>0) {
            var validProducts = response.products
            var validProduct: SKProduct = response.products[0] as SKProduct

            if (validProduct.productIdentifier == self.product_id) {
                print(validProduct.localizedTitle)
                print(validProduct.localizedDescription)
                print(validProduct.price)
                buyProduct(product: validProduct);

            } else {
                print(validProduct.productIdentifier)
            }
        } else {
            print("nothing")
        }
    }

Here product_id = "com.myapp.product1" or "com.myapp.product2".

Also, enable the In-App purchase from Capabilities:

This code doesn't work anymore... Sorry. EDIT: Apologies! It works, but not on real devices which is really weird. Any thoughts? (I've removed my downvote) – Harijan

Answer 2

In case of In-app purchase you have to do the following:

Login into iTunes Connect

Click “Users and Roles” and add “sandbox tester” Details to test the app with dummy payment • Click on “Agreement tax and Banking” Check For contract Type ,add needed account info,Bank info and Tax info. • On the iTunes Connect homepage, click the “Manage Your Applications” link • In the top-right corner, click “Create New Application” • Fill out all the requested information for your app. When asked for your application binary, check the box indicating you will upload it later.

It may take a day for you to get your desired list of products.

I have already gone through that procedure. That is not the issue. – Golden

The issue is I am not getting products list in my app. – Golden

I've had this exact problem, and it was due to the issue described in this answer (or a slight variation). I think the in-app purchase API is intentionally obtuse so it can't be manipulated. Though it seems odd from a developer's perspective, not having the "paperwork" correct for your account does cause the issue you're seeing. I know it's frustrating, but try going through everything in your account, your app setup, entitlements, etc. and see if there's a box you forgot to check or an agreement you didn't sign.

Answer 3

As silly as it is, after I fixed all the problems mentioned in other response, I found out I had a slightly different Bundle ID in my app and on the Appstore connect.

So make sure your Bundle id matches between App Store connect and you app.

Answer 4

Happened with me. Hours of debugging until I was convinced there was nothing wrong with code, bundle identifiers, Xcode profiles and bundle Ids.

What was happening was, I had recently renewed my Apple Developer membership and had not updated the paid-app contract. Once I did that, things were back to normal and my in-app-products were returned after SKProductsRequest

You can check this answer on their forum: The contract must be signed by you and Apple. This can keep the SKProductsRequest from validating the identifiers.
