isBillingAvailable() Samsung IAP Service is not installed

[thupten1234]

The newest samsung store does not have a separate iap package so it seems the isBillingAvailable is failing. I am getting "isBillingAvailable() Samsung IAP Service is not installed" in the log in debug mode.

This same apk is working fine on old samsung device that has the iap package "com.sec.android.iap" The new device with newer galaxy store does not have the package. Is there a different way to make it work on the new devices?

Thanks.

I haven't seen any announcements by Samsung, so I'm pretty sure they still use Samsung In-App Purchase app for billing. Galaxy Apps should promt you to install it when you try to download app with In-Apps.

[thupten1234]

when Samsung In-App Purchase app for billing is not installed on the device, do we need to resolve the issue ourselve or openiab resolves the Samsung In-App Purchase app's install/upgrade process?

[thupten1234]

Manually installed Samsung In-App Purchase on the device. On making a purchase forwarded me to Samsung Billing app on galaxy store after a dialog message that it requires this. On onIabSetupFinished, if billing is unavailable, shouldn't similar behavior occur?. ie. forward user to download Samsung In-App Purchase. thanks.

Samsung SDK does check for In-App Purchase app, however we wasn't able to use it in OpenIAB since it wasn't intended to be distributed as jar. Thus, all Samsung billing workflow was implemented from scratch. Behaviour you mentioned is not implemented due to some technical difficulties (we first need to connect to IAPConnector service and it's located within In-App Purchase app).

This problem however should be fixed here, new release with Samsung support (although with some limitations, Samsung billing is just awful) is scheduled pretty soon.
