Hi, I appreciate this question has been asked a lot, but I’ve looked through the other answers and none match my case.

 

I’ve looked at:

 

I am using the Android emulator and I want to view my paywall with offerings. I am getting the following logs:

 DEBUG: ℹ️ API request started: GET /subscribers/ID/offerings

Firstly, is it possible to fetch offerings in the Android emulator?

Assuming it is, some more info:

  • Purchases work perfectly in production, plus also locally with a real device. So I don’t think it can be a Play Store config problem?
  • My emulator is API 33 and Android version 12
  • React Native 0.67 & react-native-purchases 4.6.1

Anything else I can check that would help understand the problem

Hey @MattFin,

We generally don’t recommend testing in simulators/emulators (apart from StoreKit Testing on iOS). Like the error mentioned: Billing is not available on this device.

That being said, I’d recommend ensuring you have the Play Store installed on the emulator and are signed into the correct Google account that is able to test purchases - that might work. Good luck!
