Error: You cannot get In-App Purchases for this App – You can only get In-App Purchases from apps associated with your Apple ID

Scenario: You downloaded and installed the Guide App on your phone. At a later stage when trying to do an in-app map purchase, you get an error on your device saying: You cannot get In-App Purchases for this App – You can only get In-App Purchases from apps associated with your Apple ID.

Solution:

When installing the guide app initially, a certain i-Tunes account is used. If wanting to do an in-app purchase then or at a later stage, the exact same i-Tunes account used for installing the app initially, must be used for the in-app purchases, otherwise you will get the error: You cannot get In-App Purchases for this App – You can only get In-App Purchases from apps associated with your Apple ID.
