In-app billing won't show subscription

#1

After reading a lot of material about in-app billing (like the Taifun documentation about in-app billing examples and Stackoverflow answers about the subject, I still have a question about subscriptions.

Because in-app subscription is not shown in my published app (Play Store).

What have I done so far?

  • Added in-app billing component
  • App is published in open beta (Published mode)
  • App made available for (open) beta testing
  • In Play Console added a subscription, called ‘abo_1jaar’

When using the app, it won’t show the subscription with the id (abo_1jaar). But the subscription id is active in Google Play Console. The app runs in test-mode on Google Play, with the lack of subscriptions.

Should i go to live-mode, instead of test-mode to test it?(Google Play Store)

What have I done wrong?

no, but what happens, if you try to subscribe?
also what will be returned from is IAB Service Available?
you might want to add an else part in the if statement to display a warning message as test…

Taifun, I have I have followed your recommendations to find the error, with the following results.

  1. IAB Service Available (if-then-else) : YES
  2. IAB Subscription details for ‘abo_1jaar’ (which is available. I checked that in Play Console) does not show. It reports: No subscriptions available.
  3. When I try to subscribe, it gives me the Google Pay option with: test item and test payment ($0.99).
  4. After subscribing Google Pay says: item is purchased, item is android.test.purchased.
  5. When I check for subscriptions, it says none. (in picture it says in Dutch: ‘Geen abonnementen gevonden’)

there still seems to be a bug in the billing component concerning subscriptions…

@Kodular do you agree?

PS: as workaround I can offer to use my billing extension

In one of my projects i tried also to subscribe to the test product and it gave me the same results as yours. I don’t know if it is a bug or this happens because i don’t have my app published in the play store.

@Taifun does your IAB extension works good with the subscriptions?
