I have just attempted to install the latest library from Erel for google play billing referenced in:
www.b4x.com
I looked at the instructions for updating an internal library and found where it was.
The older instructions said they were in the c:\program files (x86).
I copied into there, brought up B4A and the library was still 1.1. but the 'on line' entry said 5.0
At that point, I decided to re-install B4A. I did and it was of no help. I did notice, however, that the new icon was pointing to "program files', not the 'x86' version. I then looked in there and the google billingplaybilling.jar was dated in July. I copied the new library into that directory and now the program shows version 5.0/online 5.0.
I think I am all set on the new library. but my question is:
1. Do I need the x86 version of B4A. It might be the old 32 bit version and now we are on the 64 bit version.
2. Not a question, but the primary B4A software download should probably be updated with the new library.
This is a related question:
There is a new google requirement to allow users to cancel a subscription from within the app.
I have always given them instructions to how to do it in the play store. The new policy says:
If you sell subscriptions in your app(s), you must ensure that your app(s) clearly disclose how a user can manage or cancel their subscription. You must also include in your app access to an easy-to-use, online method to cancel the subscription. In your app’s account settings (or equivalent page), you can satisfy this requirement by including:
A link to Google Play’s Subscription Center (for apps that use Google Play’s billing system); and/or
direct access to your cancellation process.
My questions on this are:
1. Would the use of the 'consume' referenced in the link above cancel the subscription?
2. If not, how are other people doing this?
Thanks, Cliff McKibbin
