Add test In App purchase to live ios

Question

I want to test a new in-app purchase on a live app before the IAP goes live. I don't see any way to associate the IAP with the Test Flight version.

Is there anyway to do this?

You should read the "Testing In-App Purchase Products" guide from Apple but the key points are:

To perform testing for In-App Purchase products:

• Set up test user accounts within Users and Roles in iTunes Connect, as detailed in Creating Sandbox Tester Accounts in iTunes Connect Developer Guide. You’ll need a test user for each territory you want to test the app in.

• Clear any account information stored on your test device. This prevents an actual user account from automatically being used when testing.

• Use your test account credentials to test the purchase.

You can setup your sandbox test users in iTunesConnect. The following has detailed information.

The products must be real products ready to go live with your next release however you should be able to test them beforehand.
