[q] billing client 2.1.x support
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Wanted to upgrade my app to Android billing client 2.1.x
Is that possible, or should I wait for an updated release of rxBilling?
Asking because
according to this
https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_library_overview
there is a specific kotlin module that would need to be linked in
(our app is Java, does not use Kotlin, but I know that rxBilling uses it underneath)
"If you're using Kotlin, the Play Billing Library KTX module contains Kotlin extensions and coroutines support that enable you to write idiomatic Kotlin in your Play Billing solution. To include these extensions in your project, add the following dependencies to your app's build.gradle file: "
Hi, sorry for the long response! You should wait for an update of the RxBilling. We'll do our best to roll out next release in a 2 weeks.
KChernenko, when are you going to release an update of the RxBilling?
@tidimito unfortunately, Google removed IInAppBillingService from the latest version of the billing client, so there are a bunch of changes needs to be done and we want to test the library's API internally before rollout.
Привіт. Вже вийшла версія 2.2
Hi!
Thanks to the @dmytro-ostapovets we've released a new version of the library with billing client version 2.2.0 under the hood.
Removing IInAppBillingService is postponed because probably all the library should be rewritten and unfortunately we don't have a spare time for this yet.
@KChernenko thank you for the support.
I looked at
https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_library_releases_notes
And they did not mention anything about AIDL removal, but they had mentioned it
https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/api
without giving any dates/timeframes.
So it is not clear how long we can keep our apps using AIDL underneath.
I read that google started removing apps from their store, if was on 1.x billing API version.
So, I can only assume they will do same at some point with the 2.x users.
