All Java samples need to be upgraded to version 6.0.1 of the billing library

Open solodon4 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

All your Java samples are currently targeting version 4 of the library, which is not only out of servicing window, but it is also not compatible with versions 5 and 6 of the library and hence the user code needs to be rewritten. Besides, there is a reported crash that happens all the time that has only been fixed in the version 6.0.1 of the library:

Google Billing Client v4 crashes 100% with targetSdkPreview "UpsideDownCake" (developer preview)

Can you please upgrade all your Java samples as described in your own upgrade process?

Thank you!

Judging from the number of requests submitted to upgrade these samples, I bet they don't even have owners inside Google:

  • [ ] #633
  • [ ] #631
  • [ ] #628
  • [ ] #622
  • [ ] #532
  • [ ] #509
  • [ ] #476
  • [ ] #455
  • [ ] #321

These samples must by maintained by someone inside the team working on the Google Play Billing Library and they must be part of their daily regression testing. You guys aren't playing by your own rules: you force everyone onto 2 year version update cycle, yet with your seemingly endless money supply even you don't seem to practice what you preach!

Hey, Google! Care to prove me wrong?
