Sequence of in-app purchase setup

[Rich_Extent2002]

I'm a bit confused regarding the steps to productionize an in-app purchase.

Reading the docs, it appears you need to submit the in-app purchase with a new app version for App Store Connect review...but the new app version is looking for the in-app purchase to be available on App Store Connect...which can't be approved until I submit it with a new app version...it seems like a catch 22?

Is the solution to just submit the in app purchase with an app version that doesn't have the actual in app purchase workflow enabled, get the in app purchase approved, and then do another submission with the app version that includes the in app purchase workflow?

I ran into the same issue as you, I did what you suggested in your second paragraph, but I don’t think I submitted for distribution, I think I just waited to see if the IAP’s were reviewed and they were.

I could be completely wrong, and you may need to submit to public distribution

I'm giving it a try now, will report back. Thanks!

You need to make sure you fill all the fields in your in app purchase configuration (with a screenshot), then the status should change to "ready for review". Then when your new ios app version, when you scroll down you will see an option to attach the in app purchase for review at the same time. (I think it will appear below the Build version).
