[prineside]

Issue details, reproduction steps/code

Using this library on Android 14 (SDK 34) throws an exception listed below. As mentioned on the Android Developers website, support for SDK 34 is added in version 6.0.1 of the Google Pay Billing library but gdx-pay uses version 6.0.0. Quote from the top of that page:

2. If your app is targeting Android 14 or higher, you must update to PBL 5.2.1 or PBL 6.0.1 or higher.

Version of gdx-pay and/or relevant dependencies

gdx-pay 1.3.6, which depends on com.android.billingclient:billing:6.0.0 (here)

Thanks! I will upgrade it to 6.0.1 shortly. I think no code changes are needed? @prineside where you able to resolve this by upgrading it to 6.0.1 manually?

I'm testing it with the current 6.0.0 on an app with subscriptions on a Pixel 7 Pro simulator. I'm able to start the billing client, able to come into here:

Will still do the 6.0.1 upgrade though

Resolved in 1.3.7
