For more information refer to the + \l{http://developer.apple.com/in-app-purchase/}{iOS documentation}. + + + \section1 Register a unique app ID + + One of the requirements to support in-app purchases on iOS is to have + a registered unique App ID. This means that it is not possible to use + an App ID that contains a wildcard character. You can check the existing App + IDs and create new ones from the + \l{https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/identifiers/bundle/bundleList.action}{Apple Developer Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles manager}. + + In the \uicontrol{Identifiers} tab of the + \uicontrol{Developer Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles} manager, click + the \uicontrol{+} button to create a New App ID. This will open up the page + to register a new iOS App ID. + + Give your App a relevant ID description and prefix. Your App ID Suffix + should be an Explicit App ID type. Enter a unique App ID in the Bundle ID + field. It is recommended to use the com.mycompany.myappname convention for + App ID. Where, the "com.mycompany" is the Internet domain name of the + publisher. + + In the \uicontrol{App Services} area make sure that the + \uicontrol{In-App Purchases} is checked. Click \uicontrol{continue} your to + complete the App ID registration. + + \section1 Create a provisioning profile + + To be able to use your new App ID, generate a new provision profile that + includes the new ID to sign and run your app. Provisioning Profiles are also + managed through the + \uicontrol{Apple Developer Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles} manager. + + Navigate to the \uicontrol{Provisioning Profiles} tab of the manager and + click the \uicontrol{+} button to create a new Provisioning Profile. Make + sure that the \uicontrol{iOS App Development} is selected and click the + \uicontrol{Continue} button. + + You are now given an option to choose the App ID to use for this profile, + which will be the unique App ID you created in the previous section. Once + again make sure that the App ID does not contain any wildcard characters + (“*”) as it is not be possible to use the In-App Purchasing service with + such an App ID. + + On the next page you will need to select the certificates that will be + distributed with your Provisioning Profile. You would have needed to uploaded + a certificate on your local development machine to the Apple Developer + Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles manger previously. Generally you will + want to add any certificates of the members of your team who will need to build + your App. + + On the next page you will need to select the devices you will be developing and + testing your app on. You must register your devices to the Apple Developer + Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles manger previously. The devices you + select here are the only ones capable of running apps signed against this + provisioning profile, so select all the devices you intend use during the + development and testing phase. + + Give your Provisioning Profile a descriptive display name, and click + \uicontrol{Generate} to create the actual profile. When this process is + completed you’ll be given a choice to download the Provisioning Profile. + + Open the downloaded file in XCode to install. Now the next time you plug in + one of the registered devices, your Provisioning Profile should be installed + to it automatically. + + \section1 Register your application + + Before you can register new products available to the in-app purchasing service, + you need to register your application in App Store Connect. App Store Connect is the + place where you register an app when you want to submit it to the Apple iOS + App Store. + + Start by going to \l{https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/login}{App Store Connect} and + logging in. Once logged in open the \uicontrol{My Apps} link that will take you + to \uicontrol{Apps} page. If you have already registered your app here, you can + skip the registration step, otherwise click the plus button and select + \uicontrol{New App} in the top left corner of the page. + + Select iOS App and then proceed to fill out the required information on the + next page. When you get to the \uicontrol{Bundle ID} section select the + unique App ID we created in the previous steps. + + It is likely at this point that you do not have all the necessary details to + complete the information required to register your app. For now, just fill + out the forms with stub data as everything except the \uicontrol{SKU} and + \uicontrol{Version} fields are editable later. + + \section1 Archive and uploading application + + When you build application for iOs device Qt Creator creates XCode project + that will be used for uploading your application to the App Store. Open the + XCode project and go to \c {signing and Capabilities} from your project + properties and make sure that the Apple ID is selected what you use on App + Store Connect. Make Sure that the \c {Bundle Identifier} is the same as that you + created on the \uicontrol{Developer Certificate, Identifiers, and Profiles} page. + + Next select \c {Set the active scheme} from the top bar of the XCode window and + select \c {Generic iOS Device}. Afte that select \c Product on the menu bar and + click \c Archive. On the pop-up window select \c {Distribute App} go through the + wizard and the build will show up to the App Store Connect. + + \section1 Setting up application testing + + From the App Store Connect select your application and go to \TestFlight page. + You should see at least one build of your application in the page. there are two + type of testing groups internal and external. In internal testing group you can + select developer who has access to your application on the App Store Connect. In + external group you can share your application with public link or you can invite + specific people to test your application. + + \section1 Register the products + + Once your app is registered in App Store Connect you will have additional options + available to manage that App. In the \uicontrol{Apps} page of App Sotre + Connect, click the icon representing your app to manage its details. Within this + menu you can select the \uicontrol{Manage In-App Purchases} from list on the right + to register in-app products you wish to offer. + + To register a new product, click the \uicontrol{Plus icon} button in the right + of the "In-App Purchase" header. The first choice you will be given is the type of + in-app purchase you would like to create. + + On the next page, you must fill out the details about your product. The + \uicontrol{Reference Name} field refers to how the product will be + displayed in App Store Connect and in sales reports, but not in the + App Store itself. The \uicontrol{Product ID} field is very important + as it is the unique ID that will be used to query for the product from your + app itself. If possible make this the same ID as the corresponding products + in the other platform’s stores, otherwise you will have to conditional logic + in your app for each platform when specifying product identifiers. + + Select the pricing and availability details for you product next. For the iOS + App Store, pricing is set via a tier system. Each tier represents a price + level in each iOS App Store region. Your end users will be given the actual + price expected for a product in terms of what region their App Store is in. + + In the next section \uicontrol{In-App Purchase Details} you specify the details + for at least one language. When the app requests the product details like + \c title and \c description, they will be provided in the language of their + locale if they are available. Create language details for the regions you + expect to distribute app in. + + Finally, you will need to attach a screenshot that will be used for review + purposes. This again can be a stub for now, but your product will need to + pass the review before it can go live to be sold in your published app. Click + \uicontrol{save} to complete the product registration. +*/ |
