We are in an app review loop trying to get an in-app purchase approved with this message (below)
However, we did what they said and resubmitted a binary (essentially the same binary we submitted before but with
a new build number), but then the in-app purchase is rejected for the same reason, with no additional explanation.
Is there a way to escalate this and talk to someone to figure what is going on?
This is for a pre-existing app in the app store, not a new app.
In-App Purchase - New Business Model
We have begun the review of your in-app purchase but aren't able to continue because your submitted in-app purchases indicates a change of business model for your app. Therefore, we need to verify the implementation of your submitted in-app purchases in the app to ensure your app, and its in-app purchases, are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
Next Steps
Please upload a new binary for review and resubmit your in-app purchase(s) with the binary so that we can continue the review.
OK guys, so we ran into the same problem which is EXTREMELY frustrating but have finally figured out what to do.
Basically, you have to create new IAPs. Once you save them, they will be ready to submit. THEN, you go to your new binary and if you scroll down, there will appear a new section called IAP. From there, you can add the NEW IAPs that you created and then, when you submit it, it submits together. The issue is, if you accidentally submit the IAPs separate frrom the binary, then those IAPs can NEVER be associated with that binary anymore. AND, to make matters worse, if you don't have any new / unreviewed IAPs, the IAP section does NOT display on the binary page. Took us forever to figure out why we kept getting rejected.
