I've set my property up for monitoring an app, and am sending this through the hit builder.

Transaction is tracked, product names, SKUs, Brands are tracked.
Price and quantities are not, even when I add pr1pr to the parameter list.
Any clues as to why?

Many many thanks in advance!

I've got the same exact problem! Did you find a solution, Arvid?

Nope, no solution with enhanced, but the old basic one somewhat works... 
...try making a number of calls - one for each item and one for the transaction - and it generates something. 
I had to attend to some other things and have dropped this issue for a bit, but will come back to it when time permits :)

For a while I had a theory that enhanced only works for web properties, but I haven't tested it on any of my properties.
