InAppBilling getProducts with large product ID list Android #139

Closed phuxter closed 10 years ago

phuxter commented 10 years ago

Using Latest ane. Im getting a PRODUCTS_FAILED event when I call getProducts passing a (large) array of ids (length 20+) (no message or errorCode).

It works fine on iOS. It works when I remove enough product Ids. (no particular product IDs causing the issue)

Hi,

This is a known bug in the Google libraries, we've been waiting for a fix from them on the issue and will update as soon as we hear.

Thanks for the quick response Marchbold,

I am due to release an update to our game next week.Can you please give me a little more details to help me resolve the issue.

Firstly can you give me some specifics on the issue with the Google API. I will email my contact at Google to try to escalate the issue.
If it cant be resolved this week I may need to implement a work around. Can you confirm that the error occurs due to a large number of product ids? If so, is it possible for Distriqt to implement a black box fix that splits up large requests into multiple smaller requests and returns the collated results?
My last resort would be to make multiple small requests to getProducts() and collate results at my end. Do you see this as a valid work around?

Thanks for your help. Punya Huxter (BonzaWordPuzzle)

Hi Michael, Has there been any progress on this issue? I am still having issues and its beginning to effect our release schedule. Thanks.

Hi,

The only current workaround is to batch your queries, ie. work on the first x number of products, getProducts/restorePurchases/makePurchase etc. Then call getProducts again when you need to use a different set of products.

We are still waiting for an update as far as I'm aware. Feel free to escalate the issue if you have a contact you think will help.

Regards, Michael

Thanks Michael, Ive implemented the Batch workaround for getProducts(). WORKS.

Unfortunately Its not possible for me to do a similar batch solution with restorePurchases. As it stands users with a large number of purchases will not be able to restore.

I doubt that Google will implement a fix in the next few days but I will mention it to my contact at Google anyway. Hopefully a fix will be available soon.

FYI. Since restorePurchases doesn't work reliably, I implemented a Hack for when users get a FAILed purchases with errorCode BILLING_RESPONSE_RESULT_ITEM_ALREADY_OWNED (Hack treats these errors as if they were successful).

Have a nice day.
