storeaccountd(453) deny file-write-create when beginning In-App Purchase on Mac

Question

Since upgrading to El Capitan, my Mac app which includes an In-App Purchase is failing to process the In-App Purchase. This is the error that I see in the console:

storeaccountd(453) deny file-write-create /Users/kenny/Library/Caches/com.inadaydevelopment.mac10biiFinancialCalculator

When the user clicks to purchase, they get the App Store login pop-up, and they get the In-App Purchase confirm pop-up with a Buy button. When they click Buy, that Buy confirmation pops up a 2nd time. Then I get the above error message in the console about 15 times. Then I get a final popup that says "An unknown error has occured" with Retry and Cancel buttons.

This app has been working, but once the user upgrades to El Capitan, it horks. What is going wrong?

Here is the full error report from the console:

storeaccountd(453) deny file-write-create /Users/kenny/Library/Caches/com.inadaydevelopment.mac10biiFinancialCalculator

i am facing a similar issue, did you find the fix for it. Btw are you using MKStoreKit? – Plata

I was testing it with Sandbox account, i was facing the similar problem. Then i completely remove appstore version and then run the non appstore version and it worked for me. Your problem is a bit different but sharing it as anyone lands here or it might give you some pointer to fix it. – Plata

Thanks, Mirza, yes, I tried that too. I removed the app store version and rebuilt from Xcode and ran it that way. I still had the same error though. :( – Kurtzman

I'm having the same issue. Have you found a solution? Thanks – Thermogenesis

I am getting same error in Mac app store not in sandbox environment , any workaround to fix it – Fulton

As far as I can tell the error message is just a red herring (i.e. it's not the actual problem, it's just a bad log message). – Kurtzman

Answer 1

When I had this problem I was testing with a sandbox user account. The solution was to move the test build and launch it from within the Applications directory rather than the DerivedData hierarchy.
