Issue summary

I don't know how to test the simulatesAskToBuyInSandbox feature.
I'm initiating a purchase with this code:

SwiftyStoreKit.purchaseProduct(self.product!, atomically: true, simulatesAskToBuyInSandbox: true) { result in
.. code here ..
}

And I'm handling the .deferred status on AppDelegate with the suggested function SwiftyStoreKit.completeTransactions(atomically: false)

So, the purchase is initiated correctly, the ask to buy is simulated correctly and the purchase is reported as .deferred.
However I don't know how to test the flow when a "parent" approve or deny the purchase because, as expected, I didn't receive any ask to buy notification as there is not a family group defined anywhere.

Is there a way to test this case? How can I test it?

What did you expect to happen

Some way to simulate the ask to buy approval/denial.

What happened instead

Nothing.

@lukegf I'm also interested in this, did you end up finding a way to test it?

When you receive a deferral for a purchase, StoreKit will let your app know -- at some unspecified future time -- if the purchase is a success or failure. Other than receiving that deferral, not much should be different, as far as I understand. You should check your callback in appDidFinishLaunching....

@lukegf did you found a way to test on sandbox? Keep getting the parent popup and I did not found from where to approve it. The testing account was not configured as a kid profile.

If anyone would like to help tackle the new StoreKit Tests explained in issue #550, that would likely help with a solution for this issue.

I have the same issue. In the same time how to switch to sandbox mode correctly? Or does an app do it automatically?
