Why this question?
I read many articles in "Google Play Developer Console" site (GPDC) but I don't understand how to completely test by myself an in-app billing requesting the Google Play server, before I submit it to testers:

  • I already got a licence key from Google Play. That points out that my apk file is correctly signed and that GPDC has already checked that.

  • My product is a one-time product. So, it would be useful, before testing it with the GPDC server, that I provide an item related to this "one-time product" to GPDC, isn't it? I don't read any info about that in the GPDC help.

  • Moreover, I have included the in-app billing library in my JavaFX code and I want to test it by myself (not by testers). So, the internal, alpha or production tests seem to be inapppropriate. In theses conditions, how to prepare an end-to-end test (I have already included the purchase mechanism). Then, how to test it by myself with GPDC server?

My development context is : JavaFX, Gluon Charm Down and its Gluonhq InAppBilling Service - Eclipse environment

Thanks in advance

Note: is it possible to use the GPDC "Instant app internal test" and include only my email/name in the tester list? In this case, can I test my app loaded in my phone and then make some requests to the GPDC server?

Android docs actually covers this in Test Google Play Billing.

You do not need to list the reserved products in your application's product list. Google Play already knows about the reserved product IDs. Also, you do not need to upload your application to the Play Console to perform static response tests with the reserved product IDs. You can simply install your application on a device, log into the device, and make billing requests using the reserved product IDs.

  • At the end, I have used neither the "static responses" or the "Android instant apps" to make a test. I use the "internal test track" in "Release Management" section of Google Play Developer console. It seems to be more appropriate to easily make a test thanks to internal testers. – Pascal DUTOIT Aug 14 '18 at 16:47
