Is an active Paid Applications Contract required for testing In App Purchase?

Question

I was following a tutorial on In App Purchase which also shows how to test by using the sandbox environment. As I've tried to add an In App Purchase to my Application the iTunes Connect prompted following hint:

You do not have a contract in place for the price tier you selected. To make your app available on the App Store, you must have an active Paid Applications Contract.

Am I still able to test In App Purchase?

Answer 1

Yes. if don't do it, Product count will always return "0" in your code.

You have to fill Series of question for "Tax form"(Non-Us resident). Then 'Set up Contact' Even if you are Individually making apps i.e Not a company.

Fill your own contact details in every field.

Paid App Status turned "Active" Within Half hour.

For adding and testing InApp purchase in your application you have to agreed on apple contract for paid application and provide your contact info , bank info, and tax info. You have to login in itunesconnect.apple.com and click on contract, tax and banking.

After providing above info you can see Manage In App Purchase Button on itunes connect web site and you can add your product.

Answer 3

You need to create a Paid Applications contract in the Contracts, Tax, & Banking Information section of iTunes Connect. You will need a bunch of info about your bank, and it will take many days, possibly weeks, for them to hand process the request.
