buying android.test.purchased get a verification error.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
I am testing In-app Billing. And I make a request buying 
android.test.purchased. The billing is success. However, the 
OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener gets a error reply.

EXPECTED OUTPUT:
the OnIabPurchaseFinishedListener get a succes replay

ACTUAL OUTPUT:
The log showes that:
10-18 08:48:39.688: E/IABUtil/Security(2910): Purchase verification failed: 
missing data.

The data signature is null, so the purchase verification failed.

It seems that the google play server returns a response without data signature.

refreshing inventory (querying owned items). (response: -1003:Purchase 
signature verification failed)

I don't think it has been.  I'm getting this error on a gingerbread device, 
although it seems to work perfectly on Kitkat.  Not only is the data signature 
null, but the data itself is empty too.  And the weird thing is that the status 
is 0, so no error, and the subscription (this is a subscription) shows up in 
the play store app.  So its' there, but it's not being passed properly at least 
on gingerbread.

Updating myself--  I had a scary few hours where after purchasing a 
subscription on a Kitkat nexus 5 phone, another phone (old gingerbread one) 
logged in with the same account was getting this annoying -1003 error instead 
of recognizing that the subscription had been purchased.  I traced it down to 
the fact that the getpurchases() method was returning ONLY the 
INAPP_PURCHASE_ITEM_LIST (an array of strings of list purchases). The 
INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA_LIST and INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE_LIST however were returned as 
null. (This was even though I could see the subscription in the Play app.)

The signature returned was null, so of course it got a signature verification 
error. After a lot of head-scratching/panicking about why it wasn't working, 
suddenly it started working (okay, like 6 hours later) without me doing 
anything.  Now it works reliably.  I presume Google Services/Play app finally 
flushed the cache and updated itself.

Given this, I think the solution may be to just silence that error until the 
full purchase info propagates to Play's local cache.  Or at least your program 
should know that it's possible that for a time you'll get your purchase(s) 
(just the sku(s)) without any signature or accompanying data.

Any solution to this? Makes v3 impossible to use.

Tried to test in-app purchase verification using static responses.
Tested on Android 2.3.6(tester account), Android 4.2(developer account) and 
Android 4.4(tester account). Same signed version of app installed was on device 
and uploaded as draft in production to developer console.
In all cases INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE was empty, but INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA was 
returned:
"packageName":"com.***","orderId":"transactionId.android.test.purchased","produc
tId":"android.test.purchased","developerPayload":"","purchaseTime":0,"purchaseSt
ate":0,"purchaseToken":"inapp:com.***:android.test.purchased"
Empty signature makes it impossible to test purchase verification with static 
responses.

At this point it is best to NEVER purchase any static response item. Not only 
do they not work, they actually block testing with real SKUs.
