Introduction
Displaying all in-app products whether approved or pending allows Apple’s review team to thoroughly test your offerings and accelerates the App Store approval process. This guide explains how to direct reviewers to a specific iOS release build in your BuddyBoss App, ensuring they can access all products without making unapproved items visible to regular users.

Accessing the iOS Review Version Setting
- Open In-App Purchases
In your WordPress dashboard, go to BuddyBoss App > Settings > In-App Purchases. - Locate iOS Review Version
Scroll down to the iOS Review Version dropdown. This lists every iOS Release App build you’ve generated.
Choosing the Right Build for Apple Review
- Published Apps: If your live app is already in the store, pick a build higher than your current public version.
- New Apps: For your first in-app purchase submission, choose the build that contains your pending products.
Note: Regular members stay on the older public build (unapproved items remain hidden), while Apple installs and tests the newer build showing every product.
Finalizing and Clearing
- Submit to Apple
After selecting the review build, upload that same build to App Store Connect for review. Apple reviewers will now see all your in-app products. - Deselect After Approval
Once Apple approves and publishes that version, return to iOS Review Version and clear the dropdown (click “Select Build”).
- This prevents future unapproved products from appearing on that build for everyday users.
- This prevents future unapproved products from appearing on that build for everyday users.
- Repeat as Needed
Any time you add new in-app products, generate a new iOS build, select it here, and resubmit for review.
