After I released my App, I couldn't purchase the in-game items for a while with error pop-up.

But, around 5 hours later, suddenly, I could purchase it. I didn't change anything during the time.

I read some article saying that we need to wait 24-48 hours until the In-App Purchases are enabled.
If so, do we have any way to shorten the time gap? I want to release the game with In-App Purchase, at the same timing...

Or, I experienced the error because I downloaded my App through the direct link (too early to get the App),

and normal customers won't have this issue?

Thank you!

The delay varies but it is rarely longer than 48 hours.

Your concern is only for those few users who download your app on the first or second day it is released and immediately decide to purchase the IAP. All other users will not have this problem.

Code the app so that it says "IAPs are not available at this time, please try again later" if no valid products are returned.
