Hello!

Trying to find any info about how to add In-App Purchase with application Entitlements.plist file manually (NOT with XCode). Is there any reference within keys and description?

What need to be in this file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>key-for-in-app-purchase</key>
    <string>value</string>
</dict>
</plist>

To implement In-App Purchase in your app, you need:

Accept the Paid Apps Agreement and complete all tax and banking information.
Have an explicit App ID registered in App Store Connect. The In-App Purchase capability appears enabled by default for an explicit App ID and disabled for a wildcard App ID. Hence, it is unnecessary to add the capability in Xcode. Remove it from your project.
Configure In-App Purchases products for your App ID in App Store Connect.

You can test In-App Purchases in Xcode test local environment or sandbox. For more information, see

There is no In-App Purchase entitlement as explained in Determining if an entitlement is real. Additionally, implementing In-App Purchase doesn't require an In-App Purchase entitlement. To implement the feature, you need to use an explicit App ID.

There are to keys that is working now: com.apple.developer.in-app-payments - add Apple Pay and In-App Purchase com.apple.in-app-payments - add only In-App Purchase

For now trying to understand why the difference between my examples and yours
