iOS Sandbox testing vs. production

I am creating my first iOS app with consumable products. The account, products and version are all set. The status of my app in iTunes Connect is Prepare for Upload and the status of my products is: Ready to Submit.

Is it true that whether I am testing or pushing to production, I have to do submit binary, right? And submit to binary would eventually become ready for sale? Since I still need to test my app, how would I tell iTunesConnect to hold pushing it to production until I am done with testing?

Solution

  • When you submit your binary, you will have the option to either release it automatically after approval, or to hold it; if you hold it, you can either manually release it when you're ready, or set a specific date for releasing.

    All of this is covered in the iTunes Connect Developers Guide
