Issue review first in-app purchase

Hi, it's been weeks now that I can't verify my first in-app purchase of my application correctly, so I decided to ask this community hoping to get some support (unfortunately the Apple service can't provide support).



My app has already been approved and available in the Store. I therefore decided to add an in-app purchase. Once the in-app purchase is completed and the save button is clicked, the purchase status changes to "Waiting for verification". After a few days, however, an error is returned to me indicating that the first purchase in the app must be verified at the same time as a new binary. I then created an update of the app (also containing the in-app purchase that during the tests turns out to work perfectly). The app update is in the "In preparation for sending" status. Now if I try to save my in-app purchase again the status changes back to "Waiting for verification", but after a few days I get the error that must be sent along with a new binary. Furthermore, the translations in the "Localization" section of the purchase-in app are reported to me with red dots (I can't understand why since the description of the purchase is correct) (https://i.ibb.co/R2p3ksV/Schermata-2019-10-28-alle-13-18-56.png).

At this point I ask for your support, asking you if you can describe me step by step how to check my in-app purchase. I would like to avoid sending the app update and finding myself again with the unverified in-app purchase.

In the app configuration tab I tried to look for sections on in-app purchases, but I can't find anything to associate the purchase with the app update review.


Thanks!

I understand there may be a language issue here...but.

I assume that the app was not submitted for review and that the IAP by itself was submited for review. That won't work. You need to associate the IAP with the binary and submit the binary for review. You do that by:

1) getting rid of all red and yello markings on the IAP and adding a screenshot. The IAP should be 'ready to submit'.

2) selecting it from the app’s In-App Purchases section under App Store

3) submitting the binary for approval.
