Summary

The StoreKit framework offers a great way to monetize your applications. As you read in this chapter, you can set up your own storefront to sell services and features from your application. Here are a few final thoughts:

• Although the entire setup and testing process for new applications may seem a little “Which came first? The chicken or the egg?,” it is demonstrably possible to develop and deploy a StoreKit-based application with a minimum of headaches. It becomes easier the next time you add in-app purchases for an already approved application.

• Always remember that there are two submission steps with IAP. Ensure that both the application and the IAP item(s) are ready for Apple to review.

• Avoid finalizing transactions until your new-purchase setup is completely, utterly, 100% done, even if that means waiting for an application relaunch. At the same time, inform the user that the purchase process is experiencing unexpected delays.
