I’m currently using v5.6.6 and want to use 6.x with absolutely minimal changes.

Is it possible to simply upgrade to 6.x or are code changes and even changes in Google Play subscription setup needed?

I’ve read the guide here https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/android-native-5x-to-6x-migration but still I’m not sure if I can simply use the newer SDK if I’m fine not using the new capabilities.

Hi @Chris1 ,

You don’t need to do any changes on Google’s dashboard. You can still use the same model of a single base plan per subscription. Having said that, you still need to do the SDK update which has some breaking change as we had to accommodate all the structure to support the new model (multiple plans per subscription).

Thanks for the quick reply @MarcosC !
Got it - just to be sure, the breaking changes are all mentioned at https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-android/blob/main/migrations/v6-MIGRATION.md right?
