inAPP purchase testing procedure

I'm going crazy testing my app for inApp purchase. I cannot get any valid product.

I'll try to make some questions here, hope someone could answer.

  1. Do I have to upload the binary of my test app on iTunes connect? My app has never been published in app store, it's a brand new app just in test.

  2. If I have to upload binary, I upload a Distribution signed binary. NOW, do I have to use the same binary (Distribution signed) on my tests? Or I can use a developer binary?

  3. I've checked many and many times all critical and known problems like boundle ID, taxes info, Clear for sale checkbox and all these things. They are all ok.

  4. After adding an iAP product, it is marked "Waiting for Review", is this correct or I should wait it change state before I can see it as valid?

You do not have to upload a binary. You can set up your app in iTunes Connect, and then set up your products associated with it. The "Waiting For Review" on your products will stay waiting for review until you submit a binary and submit the app and it gets approved. You can still test, however, even with your products "Waiting For Review". There is (IIRC) a transitional state which you as developer must mark your products as approved after you have tested them.

Note: Once you create the app in iTunes Connect, you have 90 days to submit a binary before they take your app name away from you.

Note 2: When testing with your debug build before submission, you have to use the development sandbox servers. See the IAP documentation for more info.
