RevenueCat Android SDK v6 is here!! 😻

This latest release updates the SDK to use BillingClient 5. This version of BillingClient brings an entire new subscription model which has resulted in large changes across the entire SDK.

Migration Guides

• See the full list of API changes in our v6 migration doc

• See Android Native - 5.x to 6.x Migration for a
  more thorough explanation of the new Google subscription model announced with BillingClient 5 and how to take
  advantage of it in V6. This guide includes tips on product setup with the new model.

API changes:

There have been a lot of changes since v5!

Here are the highlights:

Purchasing API changes

Purchases are now configured using PurchaseParams.Builder(). The builder is constructed with either a Package,
Product, or SubscriptionOption and an Activity. The builder then has methods for setting the product change
parameters (oldProductId and googleProrationMode).

To initiate a purchase, simply pass the built PurchaseParams and your PurchaseCallback to the purchase() method.

Applying offers on a purchase

In V5, a Package or StoreProduct represented a single purchaseable entity, and free trials or intro offers would
automatically be applied if the user was eligible.

New SubscriptionOption concept

Now, in v6, a Package or StoreProduct represents a duration of a subscription and contains all the ways to
purchase that duration -- any offers and its base plan. Each of these purchase options are SubscriptionOptions.
When passing a Package or StoreProduct to purchase(), the SDK will use the following logic to choose which
SubscriptionOption to purchase:

• • Filters out offers with "rc-ignore-offer" tag
• • Uses SubscriptionOption with the longest free trial or cheapest first phase
• • Falls back to base plan

For more control, create your PurchaseParams.Builder with the desired SubscriptionOption.
