When I do an in-app purchase using the Sandbox, I will get the completion dialog and then it will pop-up an new login box. When I fill this second box with the same details as before it says...

iTunes account creation not allowed. This Apple ID cannot be used with the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later.

It does this every time I do an in-app purchase.

What does it mean?

Could it be related to this...

Assuming that you really have created the special Sandbox account for testing your in-app purchase:

  • First, make sure you are testing on a device. You absolutely cannot test in-app purchase on the Simulator.

  • Second, make sure you really are using the Sandbox account. You will need to have signed out of iCloud on the device first. (I wish I had a nickel for every time I've forgotten to do this.)

  • Its done it for weeks. I presume its a sandbox account because its listed on iTunes Connect as a sand box user. I can't log in from settings, only the app. – Ian Warburton Nov 24 '16 at 18:31

  • Yes, its the message about not being able to create an account that I receive when trying to log in from settings. When I log in via the app though, settings shows the sandbox account as the logged in account. – Ian Warburton Nov 24 '16 at 19:02
  • Sorry, you want to log _out_ in Settings, not _in_. My apologies. – matt Nov 24 '16 at 19:08
  • Is it possible to log in via setting using a sandbox account? – Ian Warburton Nov 24 '16 at 19:12
  • The duplicate looks promising. I wonder why it lets me do purchases at all if the account is made invalid. – Ian Warburton Nov 24 '16 at 19:36
