I am trying to make an android app with in-app purchases available through PayPal. Everything works fine in the sandbox mode, but when I switch to live mode I get this error:

Payment Failed System error (550006). Please try again later.

The only documentation that I can find says that this error means, "The application is not authorized for the App caller."

Here are the changes that I have made going from sandbox to live. Am I missing something?

  • My app's status on PayPal has been 'Approved' for about 24 hours. This post (PayPal::SDK::Permissions::API The application is not authorized for the user) suggests that it only took about 2 hours.
  • I have changed my configuration environment from PaymentActivity.ENVIRONMENT_SANDBOX to PaymentActivity.ENVIRONMENT_LIVE.
  • I have changed my Client ID to the live ID.
  • I have changed my receiver email from sandbox to live.

One concern that I have is that I am trying to make the payment from my wife's paypal account to my own and they use the same checking account. However I don't think this is the problem because if I try to send from my account to my account I get error 579033 ("The sender and each receiver must have different accounts").

Any ideas?

  • A 550006 error has the message "UNAUTHORIZED_APPLICATION_USER". Are you able to provide a copy of the request you're submitting and the response? If there is a correlation ID and a timestamp I can look it up – Gerzie Jun 21 '13 at 18:32
  • Thanks for your respnse. I am just using the PayPalAndroidSDK.jar to make the calls in conjunction with the sample code provided with the SDK. I'm not sure how to extract the information that you have requested. I have looked in logcat but I don't see any relevant information. – Ryan Tensmeyer Jun 24 '13 at 17:30
  • Ryan, did you ever get this issue resolved with PayPal? – JoshE Aug 01 '13 at 00:10
  • Nope, still waiting for their reply. Last I heard, they know there is a problem, and their engineers are looking into it. – Ryan Tensmeyer Aug 02 '13 at 15:27
  • The problem has been resolved. PayPal recently released PayPalAndroidSDK.jar version 1.0.3. – Ryan Tensmeyer Aug 05 '13 at 21:12
