Getting "There was a credentials issue." on android after 72+ hours

@tina and @Rokas I am also experiencing this. This is the error message I get when printing everything which is not much more helpful than what is already posted

Error purchasing subscription (null): PlatformException(11, There was a credentials issue. Check the underlying error for more details., {code: 11, message: There was a credentials issue. Check the underlying error for more details., readableErrorCode: InvalidCredentialsError, readable_error_code: InvalidCredentialsError, underlyingErrorMessage: Invalid Play Store credentials., userCancelled: false}, null)

As Rokas mentioned, what’s more concerning about this is the purchase actually goes through and I get a receipt emailed me from the google play store. So if we catch errors in our application, we will show an error to the user “payment did not go through” but it actually did.

Hey @Tony 

After purchasing the product, do you receive an email from Google a few minute later that the order was cancelled? How long has it been since you set up the Play Service Credentials? 

@tina

After purchasing the product, do you receive an email from Google a few minute later that the order was cancelled?

Ah yes, we do get an email like this:

“This test purchase was cancelled because it was not acknowledged. You should ensure all purchases are acknowledged so they are not subject to refunds. For more information see”

I’m not sure what this all means though!

How long has it been since you set up the Play Service Credentials? 

I set them up a few hours ago

Hey @Tony !

Sorry for the delay here. Since Play Store service credentials take up to 36+ hours to propagate throughout Google’s servers, we recommend waiting some time before attempting to purchase. You’ll receive that email from Google if your service credentials are not working yet. It has been some time since your last response, is everything looking good on the credentials side?

How did you manage to solve it?

There was a credentials issue. Check the underlying error for more details.
I/flutter (30735): PlatformException(11, There was a credentials issue. Check the underlying error for more details., {code: 11, message: There was a credentials issue.

It’s more than 36 hours what should I do now. I have very little time Please help anyone

I Have the same problem 

Same problem here, 4+ days. @Faizan Rafiq Have you been able to solve it?

Any update from revenue cat? 2 weeks later and I still have the issue

Hi everyone!

I have the same issue after 72+ hours.

I’m using Google in-app subscriptions. I can subscribe on my selected plan but for some reason the process can’t finish well. I receive Google purchase confirmation email but I get an error and the subscription don’t display on RevenueCat dashboard: 

2022-01-05 08:35:35.188 9549-9609/D/[Purchases] - DEBUG: ℹ️ Found 0 unsynced attributes for App User ID: 727771e1-9250-4bff-b08f-a3656d929f72

What does it mean /receipts 503? 

I think 503 status code means Unavailable Service

After a couple of minutes, Google cancels the subscription due to they didn’t receive a purchase

confirmation.

Followed this guide https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/creating-play-service-credentials#2-create-service-account to setup service account.

How should I solve this? @tina 

Hi everybody! @nseb @DaveRiseUp @Faizan Rafiq @Anton Alberdi @Tony @Rokas 

I was able to fix it!

My issue was regarding with credential json. 

I’ve linearized json file content and that’s worked! Removed all carry return and white spaces.

Put all data in a single line like this:

{"type": "service_account","project_id": "your_project_id","private_key_id": "your_private_key_id","private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_CONTENT-----END PRIVATE KEY-----","client_email": "your_service_account_name@your_project_name.iam.gserviceaccount.com","client_id": "your_client_id","auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/your_service_account_name%40your_project_name.iam.gserviceaccount.com"}

In my use case I was able to buy a subscription (google email confirming it), but it was not registered in revenuecat. When I request via revenuecat do I have subscriptions it’s saying no, and android is not letting me buy a new one since i already have it.

android logcat:

and this is the error in react-native:

	},
	"message": "There was a credentials issue. Check the underlying error for more details.",
	"code": "11",
	"userCancelled": false
}

Things i tried:

1. as @Marcos Salto said above to remove all whitespaces.
2. each country has it’s own price (it was automatically filled in

   • Credentials issue on android after 5 days

service account (and json file) was created about a week ago (https://docs.revenuecat.com/docs/creating-play-service-credentials#2-create-service-account), I’ve updated in revenuecat to remove whitespaces today. my last resort is the 36+ hours wait.

any suggestions @tina? 🙏

I have the same issue after 7+days of waiting after reconfigured Google Play credentials. Any solutions?

Hi,

for me it was because I didn’t set the topic name for the real-time developer notifications.

I think the problem is because info regarding setting the topic name for real-time developer notification part is missing from the docs for setting subscriptions for Android. see here https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/creating-play-service-credentials

After you have added the google services json to your revenue cat account, you will see the topic name show. You need to take that and follow the steps to send a test notification here https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/google-server-notifications#send-test-notification
