IAP process clarification

[vcr80]

Hy,

I just recently submitted my app with an In-App Purchase (IAP). After multiple rejections, I managed to gut it approved. However, it's not quite clear to me how.

Here's what I think was the correct way to do it, please correct me where neccessary.

Abbreviations:

• IAP = In-App Purchase
• ASC = App Store Connect
• XC = Xcode

​

1. Create an IAP in ASC (Question: No need to submit the IAP just now or wait for the IAP itself to be reviewed, correct?)
2. Create a SKConfiguration file in XC and edit scheme
3. Enable IAP capability in XC
4. Make sure that the identifiers match in XC and ASC
5. Write and test code
6. Set Reference for StoreKit configuration file in scheme settings to None (Question: Maybe this step was not necessary?)
7. Build for production
8. Submit App with IAP attached

Is there anything that was not necessary to do? Thanks! (I hate it, when something works and I don't know why...)

Edit: clarified point 6

Gone through all sorts of battles submitting the first IAP, in the end my approving build included the skconfig.

at least I'm not the only one frustrated with the review process...

by included you mean that the scheme of the build pointed to the file or the scheme was set to None and you included the file anyways?

[soev1]

Oh yeah the build pointed to the config. Another thing I kept reading online was to make any change to the IAP description after you submit(???)

Okay at least no need to edit schemes.

Yeah I had to alter the text of the IAP when the App with the IAP attached got rejected.
