InDesign DPS and iTunes Connect: In-App Purchase won't appear

Question

Greetings Adobeans,
first of all: I'm not a native speaker, so please forgive me my maybe erronenous english.
To my question / problem: The company I'm employed publishes a multi-folio-tourguide-app. It is produced with InDesign DPS and the App Builder, published via Folio Producer and should now be sold at iTunes to the Apple iPad, so the publishing process leads inevitable to iTunes Connect. We already launched the multi-folio-app itself along with a free folio as a free, non-consumable in-app purchase. The app is now online, downloadable and our first folio works fine - even it stays "Waiting for Upload" ... I think, the multi-folio-app tells iTunes Connect to get the data out of the Folio Producer, but I don't know the exact details of how this works.
The next step was to publish a second, priced in-app purchase.
Our steps were (they might be useful for a solution, I guess):
- publishing the folio in the Folio Producer (Status: Public - Trade),
- creating a non-consumable in-app purchase at iTunes Connect, using the same Product-ID as the folio in the Folio Producer,
- and uploading a update for the entire app, because Apple and Adobe say so.
But the folio never appeared in the app. It the iTunes Connect-menu it just stays "Waiting for Upload", like our first, but it won't appear at all.
My wisdom as a graphic designer has come to it's end a long time ago, Apple told us, that they don't look at these in-app purchases at all and we should ask Adobe for help ... and well, Adobe Help Services sent me to here.
So, I would be deeply grateful for any help or enlightement.

If your non-consumable in-app purchase in iTunes Connect is still "Waiting for Upload," it means it's not approved yet. You need to provide the screenshot and complete the in-app purchase submission to Apple. They should approved rather quickly. After a while (sometimes as long as 24 hours), your published folio will appear in your app.
In the future, submit your in-app purchases to Apple well in advance of publishing the folio. That way, you can publish the folio as Public and Retail, and it will appear in your app right away.
