I looked at multiple SO answers but I haven't found a concrete answer. On the IAP page, why is the Submit for Review button grayed out? How can I submit my IAPs for review without actually submitting the app to go live?

Solution

  • The app itself must be submitted for approval before you can submit your first in-app purchase.

    How can I submit my IAPs for review without actually submitting the app to go live?

    Well, you're confusing two things. Just because your app has been approved doesn't mean it goes live to the store that day. You're allowed to specify a later date.

    However, what you're positing is actually a great way to proceed: submit the app and get it into the store first, and then add the in-app purchase in an update later.
