In-App Purchase not Cleared for Sale in Sandbox

Question

I'm trying to test my new in-app purchase code. I have a few items set up in iTunes Connect. I've marked one of them as NOT cleared for sale, but it is still returned in the SKProductsResponse products property, instead of the invalidProductIdentifiers property. Is there some other way to determine whether a product is available? Is this a common problem with the sandbox? Could I be doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Invalid identiers are not the same as not cleared for sale. the docs state:

An array of product identifier strings that were not recognized by the Apple App Store. (read-only)

AFAIK there is no programmatic way to identify cleared for sale.
