[Solved] IAP Clearing non consumable test purchase Google Play

Hello,

Previously I could remove a test purchase by logging onto my merchant account and cancelling the purchase. Then clearing google plays cache to clear the local cache.

Now google has changed the way test purchases work I cannot find an answer on how to do this anywhere?
Somewhere I read the test purchases are removed after 14 days however its been longer than this and my receipts are still present after clearing the store cache?

Anyone know?
Thanks

 

I thought I saw somewhere it was 30 days... not sure though. You can still do the whole merchant account purchase cancelling part.

 

Unfortunately since June 20 you cant cancel test purchases because they don't get that far anymore.
I have found the discussion I was looking for:

Unfortunately the code provided to consume a purchase wont help me in Unity.
Any way in Unity IAP to force it to consume a non consumable?
Why did google change this?

 

Hi @Berno,

The workaround we're suggesting right now is once you've made your test purchase and are ready to consume the product, change the product declaration to consumable, run it once with that declaration in order to consume it, than you can change it back to non-consumable for future testing...

 

Hi @erika_d ,
Do you mean to change the code to:

builder.AddProduct(productIDConsumable, ProductType.Consumable);​

Consumable from NonConsumable?

I am having this issue as well, where I tested my non-consumable item but now I can't test it again because I cannot cancel the purchase.

Thanks for your help

 

I have to admit it didn't work for me either.
I just left it for a while to see if it would ever come through but it didn't.
Now that I'm getting close to release I see no other way to test other than creating multiple gmail accounts and testing with them.

 

HI @gurttt,

Yes that's exactly what I mean. That should consume it and clear it out on app launch, or if app launch doesn't work you might need to run through a purchase of it. But after that you should be able to change it back to non consumable to test again.

@Berno,

Which didn't work for you? Testing non consumables or temporarily changing non consumables to consumable?

 

Hi @erika_d

Thanks for your response, I tried creating a new item and made it consumable but I can only purchase it once as well...
I added a response to this question here:
https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/iap-specifically-consumables-on-android.434704/

I am using Unity IAP V 1.8.3 and Unity v 5.4.2f2

 

Thanks for posting on that other thread. We'll post there when we know more about the redeem codes issue!

 

Just to clarify, I am not using redeem codes. Also I am using closed alpha testing.

 

Changing to consumable and just running the initialise code didn't work for me.
However I modified my code to allow me to repurchase the same item as a consumable and this has now worked and cleared the receipt.

Thank you!
