In App Purchases - Android Billing Library v3

Ionic Native
1

Hello!

I’ve been using the in-app-purchase plugin (In App Purchase - Ionic Documentation) for several years without a problem. However, lately I’ve been getting a warning in Play Store Console stating that my app is not using the Billing Library v3 and that I won’t be able to post new updates starting November. It seems that if I uninstall the plugin, the warning is gone.

But if I try to look into the plugin, it seems as if it is indeed using Billing Library v3. Can anyone confirm?

Otherwise I may have to change to the in-app-purchase-2 plugin (In App Purchase 2 - Ionic Documentation), but it works soo differently than the previous one, I’m afraid I’m walking into more trouble.

Thanks in advance.

Here’s my ionic info:

I would highly suggest in switching to “In App Purchase 2” as “In App Purchase” is no longer maintained - the repo has been archived. I know that doesn’t answer your initial question but just wanted to give a heads up.
