Subscription Error - "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found"

[Invariant-tech-green]

Description

I am encountering an issue when attempting to request a subscription using the react-native-iap library in my Expo React Native app. The subscription request fails with the error message: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

Steps to Reproduce

1. Initialize the in-app purchase connection and fetch the subscription details.
2. Attempt to request a subscription using the fetched product details and subscription offers.

Code Snippet

import * as RNIap from 'react-native-iap';
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { Button, View, Text } from 'react-native';

const App = () => {
  const [products, setProducts] = useState([]);

  const initIAP = async () => {
    try {
      const result = await RNIap.initConnection();
      console.log('IAP connection result:', result);
      await RNIap.flushFailedPurchasesCachedAsPendingAndroid();
      const request = { skus: ['dorm_deal_1'] };
      const fetchedProducts = await RNIap.getSubscriptions(request);
      setProducts(fetchedProducts);
      console.log('Fetched products:', fetchedProducts);
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('IAP initialization error:', err, err.message);
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    initIAP();
    return () => {
      RNIap.endConnection();
    };
  }, [useIsFocused()]);

  const subscribe = async () => {
    try {
      if (products.length > 0) {
        const product = products.find(p => p.productId === 'dorm_deal_1');
        if (product && product.subscriptionOfferDetails) {
          const subscriptionOffers = product.subscriptionOfferDetails.map(offer => ({
            sku: product.productId,
            offerToken: offer.offerToken,
          }));

          console.log('Requesting subscription for product ID: dorm_deal_1 with offers:', subscriptionOffers);
          const request = {
            sku: 'dorm_deal_1',
            subscriptionOffers,
          };
          const result = await RNIap.requestSubscription(request);
          console.log(result, "result");
          if (result && typeof result === 'object') {
            console.log('Subscription result:', result);
          } else {
            console.warn('Invalid subscription result:', result);
          }
        } else {
          console.warn('No subscription offers available for product ID: dorm_deal_1');
        }
      } else {
        console.warn('No products available for subscription');
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.warn('Subscription error:', err, JSON.stringify(err.message));
    }
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <Button title="Subscribe" onPress={subscribe} />
      {products.length > 0 && <Text>Product is valid: {JSON.stringify(products)}</Text>}
    </View>
  );
};

export default App;

Logs

LOG  Requesting subscription for product ID: dorm_deal_1 with offers: [{"offerToken": "AarRn8pLX3OymDFBdywYOYrVglI4B3/kk4F0yjO1ZTE182iAPFwJxemReMaihMBw6a/et8df5bdJeL7gl2H28ba5ig==", "sku": "dorm_deal_1"}]
WARN  Subscription error: [Error: The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found] "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found"

Additional Context

• The product ID dorm_deal_1 is correctly set up in the Google Play Console and is active.
• The subscription offers are fetched and logged correctly before making the subscription request.
• The error occurs when calling requestSubscription with the fetched subscription offers.

Expected Behavior

The subscription request should succeed, and the user should be able to subscribe to the product dorm_deal_1.

Actual Behavior

The subscription request fails with the error message: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

Environment

• react-native-iap version: ^12.15.4
• React Native version: 0.74.5
• Expo version: ~51.0.34
• Platform: Android

Steps Taken

• Verified the product ID and subscription offers in the Google Play Console.
• Ensured the product is active and available for purchase.
• Used test accounts for testing the subscription.

Any help or guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Do you find any solution? I encountered a common problem because when I submitted my Google store, the screenshot of the auditor showed this error. I don't know if it was normal.

I’m closing all issues reported in versions below 14, as the library now supports the new architecture with NitroModules and has been completely revamped.
