SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of broken in-app billing integrations caused by upgrading Android apps from legacy Google Play Billing Library (PBL) versions to a newer stable release with breaking API changes and deprecations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upgrade planning from an “effective” baseline: Detects the real PBL baseline via dependency/version and deprecated API usage, then chooses a direct or stepped migration path.
  • API refactor checklist across major version jumps: Maps required code changes using the official migration guides, release-note breaking changes, and the skill’s migration logic rules (e.g., connection handling, product model migration, purchase querying changes).
  • Execution verification & validation: Guides sequential intermediate upgrades (when needed), then validates with targeted Gradle build/test and clean rebuild steps to reduce regression risk.

Example use case

You have an existing app using older billing APIs like SkuDetails and manual reconnection logic, and you need to upgrade to the latest PBL while correctly migrating to ProductDetails, reconnection behavior, and updated query/enable-builder patterns without shipping a broken purchase flow.

Quick Start

Use the play-billing-library-version-upgrade skill to upgrade your project’s Play Billing Library from its current effective version to the latest stable version while generating a version-accurate migration checklist and verification plan.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Google Play Billing Library from a legacy version to the latest release?▼

Migrate Google Play Billing Library by detecting your effective baseline version, computing a direct or stepped upgrade path, and applying required API refactors like switching from SkuDetails to ProductDetails to prevent purchase flow breakage.

What breaking changes do I need to fix when upgrading Android in-app billing dependencies?▼

When upgrading Android in-app billing dependencies, you must fix breaking changes involving deprecated APIs, connection handling, product model migrations, and updated purchase querying patterns using official migration guides and release notes.

How do I handle subscription model migration when upgrading Play Billing APIs?▼

Handle subscription model migration during Play Billing upgrades by following a version-accurate checklist that maps deprecated legacy APIs to their current equivalents and validates the updated purchase flow through targeted Gradle builds.

Can I jump directly from an old Play Billing version to the newest stable release?▼

You can jump directly to the newest stable release only if the migration path supports it; otherwise, the upgrade computes a stepped migration path through intermediate versions to safely handle major API deltas and reduce regression risk.

How do I verify an Android billing dependency upgrade after refactoring purchase queries?▼

Verify an Android billing dependency upgrade by running sequential Gradle build, test, and clean rebuild steps to validate the refactored purchase queries and ensure no regressions exist in the updated in-app billing integration.

Why does my Play Billing integration break after updating the library dependency?▼

Your Play Billing integration breaks after updating the library dependency because newer releases remove deprecated APIs and alter connection handling, requiring you to refactor legacy code like manual reconnection logic to match the updated billing patterns.
