Google app billing library warning

dreiko65

Hi all,
I would like to ask what is the version of google billing library that Gideros uses. I get a warning from play console that says that by the end of August all apps must be using google billing library version 6. And how can this be updated from the version Gideros is currently using? Thanks in advance.

from what I could find:
C:\Program Files\Gideros\All Plugins\iab\iab.gplugin

if condition="[[[plugin.iabGoogle]]]" template name="Google" path="[[[local.iabfws]]]" dest="[[[local.iabfwd]]]" include="IabGoogle.java" / template name="Google" path="[[[local.iabfws]]]/google" dest="[[[local.iabfwd]]]/google" / template name="AndroidManifest" path="" replacelist wildcards="build.gradle" append orig//TAG-DEPENDENCIES//orig by implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:5.0.0' implementation 'androidx.annotation:annotation:1.1.0' by append replacelist template if

What you could try is simply change com.android.billingclient:billing:5.0.0 to com.android.billingclient:billing:6.0.0 and maybe that will work

Gideros is full of surprises

@MoKaLux thanks a lot. Seems to be working. At least I had no problems during compilation and upload to play store. Now i have to wait and see if my app will be accepted and if i get any more warnings.
Btw, do you think that the same can be done with androidx.fragment:fragment. I also get a warning for the version. Maybe change it to 1.1.0 is possible?
Thanks.

@MoKaLux I can confirm it works. App has been accepted and I got no warnings. Thanks again.

I had the same warning e-mail from google a few days ago, and they say billing library should be updated to 7.0 (but 6.0.1 minimum). I will try with 7.0 and report here

It works with v7.0.0. I pushed the patch to github: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/commit/3f6c4c47c63c288ead380bf67f6290cf54fda407

@hgy29 thats great. Thank you. How can we solve the androidx.fragment:fragment version warning?

Gideros doesn't use androidx.fragment:fragment by itself, but it seems to be a dependency of Google Play services (GMS). This seems to have been updated at the beginning of the year, so try to update your google play service library version.
Latest is 23.2.0.
