hi, i tried enabling "pause" feature.. but subscription status still returns true , and subscription will still continue..
pple will misuse it if they come across this loophole.

I think it is simpler to implement deep links: https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/subs#deep-link
With that you meet the requirements of Google Play.
Google wants users to know that they can manage their subscriptions.

You can find example code for subscription link logic in the Classy Taxi sample app.

Also I guess also the Real-time developer notifications MUST be implemented to handle hold and restoration events

Hi. Anybody could write a detailed tutorial in order to explain how to handle all this mess with RTDN, Pub/Sub, a potential backend server, etc... Thanks a lot !

@Duna
Hi!

I have one question. Shouldn't this feature set up subscriptions on Google Play and handle RTDN on the backend? Need to add features in this billing library?

Thanks!

SkuDetails - should be updated with a new enum flag: status wich should have on hold information

Actually looking into InAppPurchases V3, I figured out that the SDK is very simple and IPC not needed anymore since GTeam did it the library similar to this one.
I dropped this lib and easily replaced with official V3 lib from Android (2 hours of work)
The only thing extra to be done is to acknowledge the unconsumable purchases.

Should free Apps implement this update too??

Should free Apps implement this update too??

That´s a big question for me. In my opinion it`s an impertinence that i have to implement this things altough i have not any in-app products - the whole app is free. I did not found a "2-line" solution for it yet und must read the complete introduction of the play billing system to fix it without any use of it - a massive waste of time.

The article say “Here’s everything that is changing about the subscriptions platform”. So i think you have to implement only if your app use google subscriptions

[Duna]

Whay a dumb sentence is that : "if your app use google subscriptions""
What is the purpose of this library if not In-App Purchases?

I mean that you don't need to implement, if your app don't use google subscriptions and only use consume product,

Account Hold and Restore - not mandatory if not having subscription server that is handling onhold subscriptions. You can opt out from subscription settings Play Console
