Resolved Google Billing Library v4

Please provide details on when can we expect to get Unity IAP with Google Billing Library v4 update. Latest stable version of IAP 4.1.4 is seems to be on Google Billing Library v3.

 

We are currently looking at Q3 and may go directly to GPBL v5 at that time as it's already available for testing.

 

Thanks for the update. But this may become a blocker as Google has 2-years support windows for each major release.

 

We will ensure to provide an update before GPBL v3 is EOL

 

Any update on this ?

 

Previous replies still apply

 

31st Oct is the deadline of v3 and this is not a acceptable answer at this stage !
Proper ETA on this would be appreciated. We will have to plan our releases accordingly.

 

We do not have an exact ETA yet. The best we can do is Q3 and before the deadline.

 

Hey Jeff,
Do you have any update on ETA?
Also are there any min requirements on Unity version for the upcoming IAP plugin update? We are currently on 2019.4 LTS and it will be helpful for us to plan the update if there are any min requirements. Thanks.

 

Unity 2019 will not be supported. We will release before the deadline, as mentioned.

 

Thanks for providing the info. We are planning Unity 2020.3 LTS update. May I know whether Unity 2020 will be supported or not?

 

Yes

 

There are 2 deadlines one for new apps and another for existing apps
https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/deprecation-faq

Is there a special agreement like Google Play 64-Bit Requirement that new Unity games exempt from 8/2 deadline?

 

We will have an updated version available before the Aug 2 deadline

 

Thanks for the update.
Can you confirm that this update will support Google Play Billing Library 5, or Google Play Billing Library 4?

 

The next release in a week or so (hopefully!) will contain GPBL v4. However the new v4 features still need to be implemented which will happen over the next few months.

 

Will Unity 2019.3 still support v4? I'll note, iOS 10 is no longer supported on later versions, thus our project (Which is both iOS and Android), is locked to this version.

I see the deadline is Nov 1st for apps using Billing v3 (https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/unity). This would mean apps supporting iOS 10 will be locked from uploading to Google Play, unless they specifically build to Google on 2020+, correct?

I'll note as well that according to the roadmap, https://unity.com/releases/2019-lts, 2019 LTS support was dropped early this year, so it would make sense if it was no longer supported.

 

Future releases of Unity IAP will not support Unity 2019

 

I have imported In App Purchasing package from PackageManager, it shows me installed version 4.0.3, where as in Plugins->Android it shows com.android.billingclient.billing-3.0.1.
So I am not sure whether my billing library has been updated or not.
If not please tell me how to check billing library version through script.
I am not using Unity IAP but third party plugin.

 

The documentation shows the supported stores for each version - https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.purchasing@4.1/manual/StoresSupported.html

 

From android's console release :

Your app includes non compliant SDK version
Your app com.XXXXXX version code XXXXXXX includes SDK com.unity3d.ads:unity-ads or an SDK that one of your libraries depends on, which collects personal or sensitive data that includes but may not be limited to null identifiers. Persistent device identifiers may not be linked to other personal and sensitive user data or resettable device identifiers as described in the User Data policy.

Starting from January 11, 2023 midnight (UTC), new app releases containing the SDK version(s) that do not comply with the User Data policy may be blocked from release. You may consider upgrading to a policy-compliant version of this SDK that does not include the violating code if available from your SDK provider, or removing this SDK from your app.

According to your SDK provider, you may consider upgrading to 4.0.1, and/or contacting your SDK provider to see if a suitable later version might be available. Google is unable to endorse or recommend any third party software.

ACTION REQUIRED: Upload a new compliant version AND deactivate the noncompliant version.
​

Does that mean I should wait for another unity IAP version that bundles billing 4.0.1 ? (I see in the package/plugins that UIAP v4.5.1 uses billing 4.0.0)

Thanks for the help

 

i did custom a library to use billing-4.0.0 to use in unity 2019 or lower. Because cost for upgrade my project to new unity version is expensive.
Hope help someone.
Connect skype : vulamavi if have issue.

 

In my case I found out that the warning (displayed in the "new release" summary) was pointing to an older published version and not the lastest build I did with 2020.X (that included the lastest uAds SDK with a non-warning billing version )

Thanks
