iPhone Store Kit “Cannot connect to iTunes Store”

Question

I am able to receive the productsRequest:didReceiveResponse method, and receive the array of products

Answer 1

The In-App Purchase FAQ has this information:

Cannot connect to iTunes Store

The "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" issue may be due to one or more of the following reasons:

• The sandbox may be unreachable.
• Your app does not have a bundle version (CFBundleVersion). See Setting the Version Number and Build String for more information.
• Your app is running in the Simulator, which does not support in-app purchase.
• You are attempting to purchase a product that is unavailable for sale. See Query the App Store for product information before presenting your app’s store UI for more information.

In my case, the error occurred because I was using the simulator.

Even in the In-App Purchase Programming Guide says to use the development iOS device has a suggested testing step.
