i am getting this error while calling resquestSubscription function in android in IOS its working fine.

Thank you

[rafaelbpa]

Same here. Did you figure out something?

[MuneebQureshi1]

@rafaelbpa No, You have any idea about that?

[rafaelbpa]

@MuneebQureshi1 No. The weird part is the subscription apparently is working. But the error still happens. Kinda annoying and scare to test in production.

[MuneebQureshi1]

@rafaelbpa but i am still getting this error.

@rafaelbpa @MuneebQureshi1 I also faced the same issue, I figured out that I was sending the offerToken manually which was the correct token but still showed this error so what I did was pass the Token that I received from the getSubscriptions function

getSubscriptions({ skus: ["testpro123"] })
.then((value) => {
requestSubscription({
subscriptionOffers: [
{
sku: "testpro123",
offerToken:
value[0]["subscriptionOfferDetails"][0]["offerToken"],
},
],
})
.then((value) => console.log(value))
.catch((error) => console.log(error));
})
.catch((err) => console.log(err));

please make sure you are calling the "initConnection" method before calling all these methods
Ignore dirty coding practice it is just a test code

Hello, can you help me with my codes? I am keep getting
[Error: Google is indicating that we have some issue connecting to payment.]
error and subscriptions keep refunded by Google. Here is my code

import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import {
  acknowledgePurchaseAndroid,
  isIosStorekit2,
  PurchaseError,
  requestSubscription,
  useIAP,
} from "react-native-iap";
import { Button, Text, TouchableHighlight, View } from "react-native";

export const Subscription = () => {

  const { purchase, loading, error } = useIAP();
  const [products, setProducts] = useState([]);

  const {
    connected,
    subscriptions,
    getSubscriptions,
    currentPurchase,
    finishTransaction,
  } = useIAP();

  getSubscriptions({ skus: ["7days", "30days"] });

  const subscribe = async (subscription) => {
    const productId = subscription.productId;
    const offerToken = subscription.subscriptionOfferDetails[0].offerToken;

    try {
      const result = await requestSubscription(
        {
          sku: productId,
          ...(offerToken && {
            subscriptionOffers: [{sku: productId, offerToken}],
          }),
        }
      );

      if (result instanceof PurchaseError) {
         console.log("Error", result);
      }else{

        const finishResult = await finishTransaction({
          purchase: result[0], isConsumable: true, developerPayloadAndroid: result[0].developerPayloadAndroid
        });
        console.log(finishResult);

      }


    }catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }

  };

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" }}>
      {subscriptions && subscriptions.map((subscription) => (
        <View>
          <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => {
            subscribe(subscription);
          }}>
            <Text style={{ color: "black", margin: 10 }}>{subscription.name}</Text>
          </TouchableHighlight>
        </View>
      ))}
    </View>
  );

};

In the case of subscription, the finishTransaction function expects you to pass isConsumable: false. Otherwise, on Android, it assumes it's a Product and not a Subscription.

Here is the relevant snippet of the finishTransaction which explains what I've just said:

if (isConsumable) {
  return getAndroidModule().consumeProduct(
    purchase.purchaseToken,
    developerPayloadAndroid,
  );
} else if (
  purchase.userIdAmazon ||
  (!purchase.isAcknowledgedAndroid &&
    purchase.purchaseStateAndroid === PurchaseStateAndroid.PURCHASED)
) {
  return getAndroidModule().acknowledgePurchase(
    purchase.purchaseToken,
    developerPayloadAndroid,
  );
}
