quick answer: if your app in review, use sandbox.
What url should I use to verify my receipt? Use the sandbox URL https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt while testing your application in the sandbox and while your application is in review.
Use the production URL https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt once your application is live in the App Store.
