D11, Android new App Billing Service
Hi All,
I have a nice Android app, developed in D 10.4.2, which includes In-App purchases.
It runs on Android 6 and above. 1. The new Delphi 11 says the Android app will run on Android 8 and above. This would be bad news for my cutomers with Android 6 and 7 2. Google says per november 2021 the new app billing service needs to be used.
Unless this new app billing service could be used by Delphi 10.4.2, I'm forced to use D11 but that would be bad news for (see above).
It would be nice if either
- D10.4.2 could handle te new Billing Service, so I could service those oldAndroid clients for say another year
or
- D11 can be used to create Android apps for Android 6 and 7. I guess there's a little more to it then just changing the minSDKVersion? Any tips? Greatly appreciated!
tnx,
John

Oops.. it looks like something may have been missed. Can you add the following to the application node of AndroidManifest.template.xml:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.play.billingclient.version"
android:value="4.0.0" />
..and try again? If this fixes it, I'll file a report in the Quality Portal, unless you want to 🙂
If it doesn't fix it, you might like to use this tool: https://github.com/skylot/jadx to look inside classes.dex in the project output folder, and make sure com.android.billingclient is in there. Perhaps do this first
