I am having a major issue submitting In-App purchases either via Application Loader or manually in iTunes Connect.

The title of the In-App purchase is being capped at 30 characters when it supposed to be 75

According to this documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnectInAppPurchase_Guide/Appendices/InAppPurchaseProperties.html

The IAP title is supposed to be less than 75 bytes, but the error I am getting in Application Loader is the following:

ERROR ITMS-4134: "Invalid title for in-app purchase with product_id='<REDACTED>', locale='en-US' - longer than 30 bytes." at Software/SoftwareMetadata

So why is the documentation saying 75 bytes but the error saying 30 bytes? Clearly there is a major issue here that needs to be resolved.

Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thank you

The store will change title and description lengths for iOS 11, so what you're seeing may be a precursor.

See the WWDC 2017 app store video 301 - 44:35 - upcoming modifications, including "Titles are now 30 characters in the App Store," have been communicated there.

Feel free to file bugs w/Apple if this hampers your process, etc.

You incorrectly marked as "Correct Answer" a post that is clearly not an answer.

Are you trying to submit an autorenewable subscription or some other type of IAP? Are you having trouble with the "Display Name" for that IAP or with the "Publication Name" for that IAP? I suspect the system is classifying your "title" as a Publication Name that is limited to 30 characters.

The documents state the following:

Display Name The name of the product that is displayed to users. The display name must be at least two characters and no more than 75 bytes, assuming single-byte characters........

Publication Name The title of your in-app purchase subscription. This may be the same as your app name or display name but should not include version, platform, or duration information. The publication name can be as long as 30 characters, assuming single-byte characters.

The publication name only applies to auto-renewable subscriptions.
