I have a iOS application with In-App Purchase for some non-consumable products. Now we are planning to build a application on Mac OS X with all the features of iOS and have Mac In-App Purchase. Now when I try to add the iOS product ID's in my Mac iTunes Connect account, it wont allow me to do that. It says I can't use same product ID which is already in use.
I think its common for iOS and Mac apps to use same product ID's for delivering same product.
Now my question: Is it possible to have same product ID's created on both iOS and Mac iTunes connect ? Am I missing something here?
Thanks,

As such, the Mac app and the iPad/iPhone app are separate programs, and need to be purchased separately.
If you have made an in-app purchase then these should automatically show up with Android devices, however, if you made in-app purchases on an iOS device you will need to visit the shop to restore your purchases.
Can I buy apps from the Mac App Store just like I buy iOS apps? Pretty much. On your iOS device, you'd use the App Store app, and so it is on the Mac.
To answer my own question, as of now its not possible for both Mac and iOS in-App purchase to have same product id's. I got this info from Apple engineers at WWDC2012. Apple suggests we use iCloud internally to track purchases between iOS and Mac OS if you want your users not to pay for using same product on either of the devices.
