Android Question Gooogle IN-APP Billing Error

[Bill Kantz]

I just had a weird experience. I was able to purchase a managed inapp item multiple times on the same device and same account. When I went into Google wallet it was showing all 5 charges?

This is InApp Billing V3
The app does not consume.

Below is the listing from Google wallet. I manually cancelled the charges.

I thought it was impossible. Even worse Google Play returns the item was not purchased when the app does an inquiry.

This was working when I first published. I tested the InApp because I stopped get purchases.

1. Are you sure that it is a managed product (maybe you had an old product from a previous version)?
2. Are you sure that your code doesn't consume the product?

 

[Bill Kantz]

1. There is no older version without InApp V3
2. There is no consumption code at all in the app.

I can't imagine what the problem is unless Google is having some issues.

I'm not sure why it allows you to purchase the same product. You can always save the state yourself and check it before allowing the user to make another purchase.

The problem is after the purchase the inventory still comes back empty. I am hoping it is a google issue since my dashboard has not updated all weekend. I will wait tomorrow and retest.

Finally figured it out. I had the key from a different app. So Google recognized the key but apparently could not install the inventory and automatically consumed the item. Interesting part was the order and the charge went through fine. This allowed the managed item to be purchased again. Note when checking the keys originally I looked at the first 12 chars and the last 12 chars and they matched. It was almost 30% into the key that the differences showed up. Would have saved a few hours if I looked more deeply into the key the first time. Interesting part the crossed key worked in alpha and beta but failed in production.


Had to setup testing again and put the BillingManager3 Debuglogging back to True.
I found this in the log:
