How can I handle the case of "Slow test card, declines after a few minutes"

See original GitHub issue

I am developing an Android app using Android Billing Library.

implementation 'com.android.billingclient:billing:2.1.0'

There are 4 test card options.

Slow test card, approves after a few minutes
Test card, always approves
Test card, always declines
Slow test card, declines after a few minutes

In the case of 1, “onPurchasesUpdated” callback method was called. So I can handle it.

But in the case of 4, there is no response from the play store library. “onPurchasesUpdated” callback was not called… (I waited more than 5 min…)

How can I handle case 4? I can handle others.

I have the same issue. On launchBillingFlow you get a BillingResponseCode.ITEM_ALREADY_OWNED. the purchase returns PurchaseState.PENDING. If you consumeAsync immediately after its response is BillingResponseCode.DEVELOPER_ERROR, but after a few minutes (or whatever delay the transaction takes to fail) you can consumeAsync again then it returns BillingResponseCode.ITEM_NOT_OWNED, now you are allowed to retry the launchBillingFlow again. not complicated or misleading at all, good job google

@yoonhok524 After the pending transaction is expired, “onPurchasesUpdated” is not called, so you don’t need to handle this case. Just like this transaction never happened, user didn’t pay and developer didn’t grant entitlement.
