In app purchase not working after publishing iOS app to App Store

During development I've created test accounts which are able to obtain the price of the in app purchase as well as actually purchasing it without an issue. However after publishing the iOS app to App Store, the version of the app in App store can't even retrieve price of the product, and nothing shows up when I press the button to send the purchase request.

Uninstalling the app and redeploy the development version to the same device got it to work again.

What could be the problem? Is there a way to debug or see logs on the app store downloaded version? (iOS noob here)

Thanks!

I had the same problem. The app was approved but in-app purchases were not working. After 24-48 of app publishing problem was fixed by its own. By the time app approved it was not appearing on App Store through search. After it was indexed on App Store in-apps started to work also.
