Google Play store has stopped

Question

I have in app purchase functionality in my app using google play store. I updated my play version to 11.0.1 from 9.8.0. After updating while trying to purchase a product in staging I am getting the popup saying google play store has stopped. But it's working fine in the production. I am a bit confuse is this crash happening because of the play service updation.

I am getting the below crash:

and here is my purchase manager:

//Last parameter - RUN=false, BODY=true
    public boolean purchase(String productShortcode, String sku, Activity activityObj, boolean subscription) throws RemoteException, IntentSender.SendIntentException {
        Log.d(TAG, "Start Purchase");
        String type = "inapp";
        if(subscription)    {
            type = "subs";
        }
        Bundle buyIntentBundle = mService.getBuyIntent(3, activityObj.getPackageName(),
                sku, type, productShortcode);
        for(String key : buyIntentBundle.keySet())  {
            Log.d("Purchase", key +" :: " + buyIntentBundle.get(key));
        }
        if(buyIntentBundle.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE", 0) == 7)    {
            Log.d(TAG, "Item is already purchased, consume and try again");
            return false;
        }
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = buyIntentBundle.getParcelable("BUY_INTENT");
        activityObj.startIntentSenderForResult(pendingIntent.getIntentSender(),
                1001, new Intent(), Integer.valueOf(0), Integer.valueOf(0),
                Integer.valueOf(0));
        return true;
    }

Can someone tell me what is the issue?

Looks like your `mService` field hasn't been initialized when `purchase` is called. — Ted Hopp, Jul 31 '17 at 06:22

In my P9 Lite when I try to start the application it crashes without any message. I had just tried cleaning the cache but the only solution is to delete the update and use the last version.

After 10 minutes google play finds the update, reinstalls the version 8..0.73.R-all [0] [PR] 162689464 and after 10 minutes the app crashes once more. I don't how I can solve this problem because the auto update of the apps starts with any problem.
