Trying to update an IAP price on Google Play Store and I'm locked from making any changes because I need to migrate to wards the OneTimeProduct REST API (away from the current InAppProduct resource).
Taking a look at the RevenueCat Google Play Store configuration docs, it looks like it still uses the inappproducts API.
Is there any plans to migrate to the new OneTimeProduct API so that we can migrate away from the old and be unblocked to manage our prices?
+4Hey there,
Thank you for your message. Matt from RevenueCat here!
This is actually something the team has been investigating recently, after Google introduced a new way to support one-time purchases using a new API.
Our current understanding is that this is a warning rather than a blocker. Since we already support both APIs, it should be fine to use either the inappproducts or oneTimeProducts endpoints, and you shouldn’t run into any issues making purchases. That said, we’d love to better understand why you’re seeing this and whether this is a newly introduced warning from Google or a case we haven’t yet considered.
Can you confirm if you’re seeing this error in Google Play Console when updating the price? If you’re able to share a screenshot, that would be really helpful. If the screenshot contains any sensitive data, please feel free to private message me, or open a support ticket and reference this post so we can investigate further.
Thank you for any additional information!
Hi Matt,
Sure thing. This is what I see:
The "Set prices" button is completely greyed out and I cannot click on it.
I wonder if I need to deactivate the in-app purchase in order to edit it but I'm afraid of doing so as this is a live app
+4Hey there,
Thank you for clarifying. I have spoken to the engineering team about this one.
Yes, I can confirm that to use these features in the Google Play Console, you will need to migrate within the Google Play Console. You can start this by tapping “review migration”.
Doing this would not have any impact on using RevenueCat. However, we currently do not support OTP offers with the dashboard and the SDK. As long as you work with backwards-compatible products in the dashboard, you will be fine to migrate to use these areas of the Google Play Console, and doing so is safe.
I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions regarding this, please let me know!
Thanks!
Hi Matt,
Thanks for confirming.
I am a bit confused by your comment on "we currently do not support OTP offers with the dashboard and the SDK". What does this mean?
Also, how can I ensure that it is a backwards-compatible product?
Best,
Vlad
