Android Question Update to a newer version of Google Play Billing Library ... but I use v7 lib

[SDFP Studio]

Hello
Since yesterday I have a message in the console that tells me that I must update Google Play Billing to v6 or higher.
But my app uses the v7 library : v7.00 - Based on Google Play Billing v7.00

To make sure that you can continue to make updates to your app, you must:

1. Update your app to use Google Play Billing Library version 6.0.1 or later. We recommend updating to version 7 to make use of the latest monetisation features on Google Play
2. Update any third-party SDKs that include the Google Play Billing Library
3. Publish a new version of your app to tracks that you actively publish to

Anyone else have this message?
Thanks
Francis

I think it is just a reminder. If you confirmed you have updated to v7 then just ignore it.

I'll send a new version, we'll see.
Thanks

Update sent this morning, still the warning

Update to a newer version of Google Play Billing Library to prevent your updates from being rejected. Your app uses a version of Google Play Billing Library that will be deprecated soon

Maybe it is caused by that code ?

ProductDetailsParamsBuilder = ProductDetailsParamsBuilder.InitializeStatic("com.android.billingclient.api.BillingFlowParams.ProductDetailsParams").RunMethod("newBuilder", Null)
BillingFlowParamsBuilder = BillingFlowParamsBuilder.InitializeStatic("com.android.billingclient.api.BillingFlowParams").RunMethod("newBuilder", Null)

I check my Play Console. I received 2 messages.

1. We need to target Android 14 (API level 34) or higher
2. App must use Google Play Billing Library version 6.0.1 or later

I am also using GooglePlayBilling v7.00

I hope @Erel sees this.

I checked the Policy Status and I have an app with 2 warnings: SDK 34 and Play Billing 7.
I updated the app now and I'm still waiting to the publish to verify if the warnings is disappear or don't.

I'm getting the same message from Google and I am also using v7 of Google billing.

Not sure what the problem is.

 

[aeric]

I also submitted an update with target API 34 but not sure about the GooglePlayBilling v7.
I submit a request to extend the time until Nov 1, 2024.

Do you also declare objects manually like I do ?

ProductDetailsParamsBuilder = ProductDetailsParamsBuilder.InitializeStatic("com.android.billingclient.api.BillingFlowParams.ProductDetailsParams").RunMethod("newBuilder", Null)
BillingFlowParamsBuilder = BillingFlowParamsBuilder.InitializeStatic("com.android.billingclient.api.BillingFlowParams").RunMethod("newBuilder", Null)

Maybe that kind of declaration is relative to old versions ?

This code is essential for LaunchBillingFlow
I don't think you should exclude it if you are using Subscriptions.

If we read the guideline Learn how to migrate to Google Play Billing Library 7
I think the library should explicitly specify the version.

dependencies {
    def billingVersion = 7.0.0

    implementation "com.android.billingclient:billing:$billingVersion"
}

Which should be updated in line #68 and #69 in https://github.com/AnywhereSoftware...oftware/b4a/objects/BillingClientWrapper.java,

@Version(5.21f)
@DependsOn(values = { "billing-5.2.1.aar" })

This is just my wild guess.

If i remember this was similar issue that happened with the older library. Erel forgot to update the version label

Update: This is what he has

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

@Version(7.0F)
@ShortName("BillingClient")
public class BillingClientWrapper {
   private String eventName;
   @Hide
   public BillingClient client;

     AddApplicationText(
 <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.play.billingclient.version"
            android:value="5.2.1" />

        <activity
            android:name="com.android.billingclient.api.ProxyBillingActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
            android:exported="false"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />
)
AddManifestText(
 <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="com.android.vending.billing.InAppBillingService.BIND" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
   )
