IAP in App Store

[J. Landman Gay]

Panos, the LC lesson says the mobileStoreMakePurchase command sends the request and begins the 
purchasing process. The behavior I'm seeing is that the request isn't being sent at all.

The older syntax has a specific mobilePurchaseSendRequest command, which the newer syntax does 
not use. Should I add that to my script? Will it hurt if I do?
