Google Play In-app Billing API version is less than 3 - E_SERVICE_ERROR

See original GitHub issue

Version of react-native-iap

4.0.7

Version of react-native

0.60.5

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

Android

Expected behavior

Connection init should start the connection, to get products, and after that be able to purchase.

Actual behavior

On initConnection catch I got:

error.code: E_SERVICE_ERROR
error.debugMessage: Google Play In-app Billing API version is less than 3
error.message: Billing is unavailable. This may be a problem with your device, or the Play Store may be down.

It’s happend on production app with this device:

Galaxy S8 (dreamlte)
Samsung
armeabi-v7a, armeabi, arm64-v8a
SO Android 9

I was wondering how could it be related to “Google Play In-app Billing API version is less than 3”, since the native link was done by the RNIAP.

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

Real device

Steps to reproduce the behavior

The user want to purchase, but on initConnection it fails.

The error still happening sometimes with some users… but I decided to ignore it and display “Connection error, try again later”.
