I have e new iPhone 5S/iOS7.0.4, and need to test an app's inApp function. I 'Sign Out' in Settings, but when I run my app it asks me for my password for my orignal Apple ID, and doesnt seem to let me change to a test user account. How do I switch to a test user for sandbox testing???
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
Try changing the Apple ID under Settings/iTunes & App Store.
I tried that, but it seems to send me to the real iTunes Store. So I cancelled out (before it creates a new account.) The test user (and password) remains in the Settings view, but when I run the app, it still brings up my original Apple ID.
Restore the iPhone to factory settings and use the test Apple ID.
Thats what I was afraid of. And just didnt want to use the nuclear option. Is this a 'feature' which will be corrected...or something we have to live with...meaning we will need dedicated test devices?
You should never use a device you use in daily living for developing/testing apps.
Sometimes you do have to resort to restoring to factory condition.
You could restore the iPhone from a backup that contains your data before the factory reset but that can get old real quick.
Optimal solution, I agree. But not realistic for the masses. I'll give it a go, Mike. Thanks! I'll come back to grade after it actually works.
That seemd to do the trick Mike...you are the best! But I sure hope Apple is going to fix this. I was able to get past the Apple ID issue, but there is more to the story...
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad I could help.
If you feel this is a bug in Apple's code, you should file a bug report: http://bugreport.apple.com
