Testing Promoted In-App Purchases

To test your promoted in-app purchases before your app is available in the App Store, Apple provides a system URL that triggers your app using the itms-services:// protocol.

The resulting URL looks like this:

itms-services://?action=purchaseIntent&bundleId=com.example.app&productIdentifier=product_name

You can set up your in-app promotions at iTunesConnect under related app's page -> features -> App Store Promotions

Your in-app purchases won't actually show up in the App Store, until you've submitted a binary that has appropriate delegate methods.

You can use that URL for testing before go live. Once you have constructed this URL has the ITMS services protocol and three parameters.

The resulting URL looks like this: itms-services://?action=purchaseIntent&bundleId=com.example.app&productIdentifier=product_name

You can simple send this URL to yourself in an email or iMessage and open it from your device and tap it, your app will be opened automatically. So you will know the test is running when your app opens automatically. And you can then test your promoted in-app purchase's behavior from there.

You can find more information at Add an in-app purchase to promote (iOS)

  • can i test Promoting In-App purchases in simulator? – Yogendra Patel Mar 27 '20 at 06:30
  • @YogendraPatel you can't test this on the simulator as there is no App Store app installed. – vicegax May 29 '21 at 11:45

    Just want to add that it is also not possible to test this link with a release version of the app. Just works on debug version. – vicegax May 29 '21 at 11:46
  • @vauxhall Interesting. The documentation says nothing about debug vs. release. How would one go about doing this? Upload a `Debug` build to TestFlight, download to device, then tap the system URL? Is that how this should work? Thanks! – West1 Jan 11 '22 at 08:31
  • @West1 I don't think you can test this on TestFlight, at least not before the Promotion is live. Also I don't think you can send a debug build to TestFlight either. To test it you can only do it on Ad-Hoc (Running the app via Xcode or installing it directly). – vicegax Jan 11 '22 at 09:17
