In-app purchase final testing

Hi,
I've developed Windows (Phone) Store app with in-app purchases and now I am going to release it. I just wanted to ask, whether is there any last possibility to test the IAPs. App is now hidden on the store, and I can download it to a device, and if I try
to buy a product, some payment is required. So is there any way, to buy it without the payment required, or to refund it afterwards? - Paying for test buys seem a bit silly to me...
Thanks

Yes, I've thought about it too, but I cannot be sure, it works the same way as paid IAP - afaik you are not forced to add payment method when buying an IAP for 0, so it might be slightly different.
I was just wondering if I could test similarly to other platforms (ie. google play has "tester" users, who have to enter the same payment information (credit card number etc.), but are never really charged for IAPs)
This also prevents me from testing this functionality in app updates - I can test on beta, and then I have to believe it works.

  • In-app purchase: Error message when adding a test storekit user

    Hi, I'm running into the "The email address you entered already belongs to an existing Apple account. Please try again." when I try to add a test user for in-app purchases. I used an email associated with an existing Apple-id.
    I'm running into "Could not convert Apple ID account to iTunes store account." when trying to add a test user with an email-id that doesn't have an Apple-id with it.
    I have enabled "in app" purchases and added an in-app-purchasable product id using itunesconnect.
    Using the programmer-portal, I've also configured the app-id of the app to enable store kit in-app purchases
    I'm assuming that I need to signin with the test-user account for the code to receive the storekit productsRequest:disReceiveResponse callback. However, I haven't been able to create the test user
    Does anyone know why both scenarios (described on top) are resulting in an error message ?

    If I try to login from Settings->Store, it asks for my credit info which I'm sure is not necessary.
    Apple had this to say about that on 8.28.09:
    "Setting up Test Accounts for Testing In App Purchase
    Before testing In App Purchase in your application, you need to create an In App Test User in iTunes Connect—you should not use other accounts as doing so will result in prompts to enter your credit card number and other information.

  • In-app purchases problem on Android

    Hello!
    I'm trying to test in-app purchase as test user on Android device. After the payment is done a downloading process has to be started. But instead I receive the message 'Unable to validate purchase receipt. Try again later'.
    To check my Payment account I downloaded some DPS magazine and bought a real issue. No problem. So my Payment account is checked.
    Please, any advice what's wrong?

    Please double check that you have your Shared Secret setup correctly.  You may specify the Shared Secret/Public Key using the Account Administration tool on the DPS Dashboard.  Please refer to this forum post for more information Could not verify purchase

  • I purchased final cut pro X from app store, but it doesnt allow me to update to latest version...

    I purchased Final cut pro X from app store, but when I try to upgrade the software I get a message saying that it was not purchased thru app store. Can anybody help me please?

    Hi Pablo..
    Make sure you are using the same Apple ID and password you used to originally purchase Final Cut X.
    If you are running Lion v10.7 as your profile suggests, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you which may help.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed and try to update the software.

    If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

  • HT4009 Whenever I go to make an in-app purchase, a message pops up saying "this is not a test user account." What does that mean and how can I get rid of it so I can purchase things?

    Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • In app Purchase testing not working..

    I made an app with iphone and ipad version. I added the code for the in-app purchase in both versions, in the iphone app everything went well but in the ipad version when i tap the buy button it will not show any alert that asks me the account(test acount's username and password). I tried verifying if I got the correct productID and I did get the correct one. Can someone point me to the right direction in solving this issue?
    Thanks.

  • Error during in-app purchase testing download

    Hello,
    I've done an in-app with  my Viewer Builder v 1.5 and I created the Product ID and all the necessary  informations at my iTunes Connect Account. However, when I test the  purchase in my iPad with a test account, the box "ERROR DURING PURCHASE - Please  try again later" appears.
    All the other  tests, like single folio and multi-folio free issues, it's ok to  me.
    Someone at the same point?
    Regards,
    Filipe  Speck

    Bob,
    answering your questions:
    - Did you use the same Product ID when creating the in-app purchase and publishing the folio?
    Yes, I'm using the same Product ID. So, after publishing the folio, it appears at my in-app test.
    - Are the retail folios set as public?
    If I publish a free issue, I can test the download. The problem is when I set it as retail. The issue and the price appears, but when I try to make the purchase, after I confirm my purchase with an Apple test user, with the [Environment: Sandbox], it says: "ERROR DURING PURCHASE - Please try again later"
    - Are your in-app purchases cleared for sale?
    I think so. When I published, I've set as Public, Retail and the same Product ID I used at iTunnes Connect. So, when I'm testing at my in-app, the folio appears. Is there any other place I have to go?
    Regards,
    Filipe.

  • Cant in app purchase because it says: Environment sandbox.  not a test user account

    When I try to make an in app purchase it says "this is not a test user account.  Please create a new account in the sandbox environment. Environment: Sandbox"
    What does this mean?  Why am I getting this all of a sudden when I have not had this issue before last update?

    I found on another question and answer to my question posted above: hold the top and bottom buttons at the same time to reset the iPad and this worked!  Yay!

    Common on jailbroken iPhones, not so on non-jailbroken iPhones. Thus, if your phone is not jailbroken, restoring from backup will hopefully fix the issue.
