M Marcob Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 7, 2023 #1 Hello, I tried to run the example for the in-app purchased shown here but pressing the button "Remove Ads" only opens a blank panel. Has Google changed something in the meantime or am I missing something? Last edited: Jul 8, 2023

M Marcob Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 7, 2023 #5 I'm not sure, I thought that using "android.test.purchased" was a special ID offered by Google to test the service without any particular billing key requirement, but I could be wrong, does anyone have more experience with this? Upvote 0

DonManfred Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 7, 2023 #6 I guess a lot of people are using inapppurchases. If there would be a problem more threads would be opened with this issue. I do not remember any such thread lately honestly. I´m not using it so i can not further help. But i expect it should work when correctly used. Upvote 0

Click to expand... Do not assume. Imagine you and I build 2 different apps with the same inAppProduct id, when I set the product as consumed, does your app also show the same? Sure you need a special unique key to identify the different app. Upvote 0

Click to expand... I´m not sure but probaly yes. InApp-Billing is based on GooglePlay-Services. You need to configure InAppPurchases in the googleConsole. So, i guess yes, you need to have your app in GooglePlay. Incl. having a Developeraccount and a proper key. Google does not want you to sell your product on other ways. Upvote 0

Andrew (Digitwell) Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 7, 2023 #11 Yes, billing is difficult to get working which is why I created the post you are referring to. You get the billing Key from the Monetisation setup page in the play store app page. It is the long value in the licensing section Upvote 0
