Could not initConnection on version 2.2.2

Version of react-native-iap

2.2.2 (latest) React native 57.0

Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

Android

Expected behavior

Could init connection

Actual behavior

Init connection returns null

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

Differents real devices

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. I have created a alpha testing app in the playstore with the package com.mycompany.myapp

2. I have created and activated products and subscriptions

3. The app is on “Published” state on the playstore

4. The merchant account is active

5. I have integrated the library, added and linked it.

6. I have tried this:

import * as RNIap from 'react-native-iap';

 try {
            let cnn = await RNIap.initConnection();
            if(cnn){
                console.warn(cnn)
            }else{
                console.warn("Nope")
            }
            let products = await RNIap.getProducts(itemSkus);
                console.warn(products )

        } catch(err) {
            console.warn(err);
       }
 }

cnn = null and getProducts = empty array

The app.build.gradle has:

compile project(':react-native-iap')

The settings.gradle has:

include ':react-native-iap'
project(':react-native-iap').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-iap/android')

The Manifest has this permissions:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />

Im running the app using react-native run-android

Any ideas of how can i troubleshoot this?

Also, how is this library working? the initConnection method checks if there is any app in the playstore with the app id = com.mycompany.myapp ?

Thanks

1. Is on alpha. I THINK that you need to first generate a signed apk and add it to the alpha testing first.
2. Nop, just use the id that you assigned on the playstore. If the product id is “pepito”, use “pepito”.
3. No! It doesnt work in emulators, use a real device.

Also, make sure that if you are using getProducts youre trying to getting consumable products instead of subscription. There is a getSubscriptions method for that.
