Android IAP Definitive Guide

[Danny]

You wanted it, now you have it!

A complete and (almost) definitive guide to In-App Purchases inside Fusion for Android! An expansion on existing tutorials kindly created by the community, this is the complete guide with text and screenshots from top to bottom. I will be following up with a video on this but at least you have this material to be going off for now.

I hope you all find it of use! Comments, suggestions and feedback always welcome.

Woa!!! Thanks Danny!


I check it and I mention if I see something that does not understand or not this clear.

[Danny]

Great! Yes, I hope it does come across easily enough for everyone. I can always modify it, so any feedback is welcome. I hope you find it of good use

Ok! I have now followed the guide through, and everything seems to be working fine (I see the items appearing in the list object). The only problem I have is that when I try to buy an item I get a Google Play pop up with red text that reads "The Publisher can not buy this item". I have added a test account, and before I test my app I made sure to go into the google play store on my device to log into that account instead of my developer account. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[Danny]

There IS slight confusion with this even on the official Google/Android forum. It's not the Play account that is logged in, it's the phone's actual email account. So the new test one you setup needs to be the default (first) one ever on the device. Adding it later, even setting it as default won't class it as default. The only way around this here is to hard reset the phone to factory and when you set it back up, only add that test account for Gmail/Google.

Yes I read something like this, that seems extremely unpractical though toward the developer from Googles point of view? I heard there may be some other solution by rooting the android device and removing the profile with some program, but I dont know how safe rooting is? I have heard some stories of peoples devices getting broken after rooting :s But maybe its for the best to NOT have the developer account on your device? I mean is there any reason why you would want to have the dev account on the device?

[Danny]

I wouldn't try risking rooting. You have the potential to brick your device. Just backup your data and do a hard reset. It is indeed a Google flaw. One they never addressed even to this date.
