Cannot test in-app purchases in Xcode 9 for macOS app

As of the release of iOS11 it has been a pain (if not impossible) testing in-app purchases. While I've found a great workaround for testing on iOS here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46467498/4514671 I could not find anything for macOS apps.

So here is what I did that kind of does the same as with the iOS workaround:

  1. In the App Store app Sign Out of your account (Store/Sign Out)
  2. In iTunes Connect create a brand new Tester
  3. Restart your computer
  4. Open your Xcode project
  5. Build & run
  6. Click on your Buy button to start a purchase
  7. Sign in with your newly created test account

Sign in

  1. When prompted to Change the store click on Cancel

Click Cancel

  1. Click on your Buy button to start a purchase again and the correct Buy Alert will pop up; finish the transaction by actually making the purchase

Click Buy

Done! Hours of frustration saved! Thanks Apple :[
