My Android app makes in-app purchase using the OLD (V2) version of Android's in app billing architecture. I am not able to update my clients to V3 just yet. However, on some phones, a new "checkout experience" is now being shown during purchase -- the Google-provided dialog for purchasing an item has changed to a more modern look. Which is fine, except that along with this change, a key part of the in-app purchase flow has stopped working, namely the sending of the com.android.vending.billing.PURCHASE_STATE_CHANGED intent, which is vitally important.
Thinking I must be doing something wrong, I hunted down and found the old sample app (Dungeons) that is illustrates the use of the old V2 in-app purchase API. Sure enough, this sample also fails to complete the purchase, because Android (with the new fancier in-app purchase dialog) is no longer sending that intent.
Has anyone else seen their old V2 in-app purchase flow break, and found a way to work around it?
I would love to attach images of the way the in-app-purchase dialog looks on an old phone (where the Dungeons sample succeeds to make a purchase) and a new phone (where Dungeons fails due to the lack of the PURCHASE_STATE_CHANGED intent). Unfortunately I don't have enough reputation on Stack Overflow to post links to the images.
Thanks!
Greg
