Android Play Billing Library: onSkuDetailsResponse responseCode is 0, but the size of skuDetailsList is also 0

Question

I'm now using the new Play Billing Library

Basically, I followed the documentation to query available items to purchase

 SkuDetailsParams.Builder params = SkuDetailsParams.newBuilder();             params.setSkusList(skuList).setType(itemType);             mBillingClient.querySkuDetailsAsync(params.build(),                     new SkuDetailsResponseListener() {                          @Override                         public void onSkuDetailsResponse(int responseCode,                                                          List<SkuDetails> skuDetailsList) {                             listener.onSkuDetailsResponse(responseCode, skuDetailsList);                         } 

However, the responseCode is 0 and the list is also empty. But I checked onBillingSetupFinished is successful. The skuList that provided to SkuDetailsParams.Builder is not empty, and the values inside the skuList (sku_id) is also same as Product ID that specifies on Google Play Console.

Does anyone know the reason? Thanks!!

Answer 1

I have spent few hours with this issue and the problem was that my debug build/CI builds had applicationIdSuffix. So only production build with proper applicationId was able to retrieve the products.

Sounds like you're having issues with your Google Play Console setup.

Please check that:

• your app is published in Play Console (to PROD or your @gmail account is in the user's alpha/beta group)
  • I also recommend adding your test @gmail account into license testers list to avoid being charged and license issues
• has correct signature and version code of test app is equal to published one
• all of your SKUs are also published
• your Play Store app works correctly on the phone you're testing (allows you to purchase apps for example)

And wait for some time after setup is done.
