in_app_purchase - Listening to purchase updates does not emit subscription purchases while the app was closed on Android about flutter HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @vongrad

Wait for the subscription to expire and then reactivate it

I wonder how we re-activate the subscription that has been canceled? When I click on Resubscribe button from https://play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions, it says: "Can't resubscribe"

from flutter.

How long did you wait before re-subscribing? I am able to click on the re-subscribe few minutes after the subscription expires in Google Play and it goes through without any issues.

The reason why this is important for me is that if user subscribes from Google Play after the subscription expires, my backend receives Google RTDN notification with type "purchase", but it does not contain "obfuscatedAccountId" that I specified when initially creating the subscription to pair it with a user - I guess its because its considered as a completely new purchase even the Google Play button says re-subscribe.

At this point, my backend has no idea who purchased the subscription because of the empty "obfuscatedAccountId", so in order to pair it, I need my app to be able to get notified about subscription purchases on startup, grab the purchaseToken along with currently logged in user and send it to my backend to pair the subscription with user.

How long did you wait before re-subscribing?

5 minutes for my test subscription period of 1 week (https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/test#testing-subscriptions)

Also, could you share how you Close your app? Do you just bring app to the background or kill app instance from Recent app menu?

from flutter.

That is strange, I test it exactly the same way. I kill the app from the Recent app menu, so its not running at all.

from flutter.

Could you check this with package's example?

Android app receives the new subscription purchase on the purchaseStream

When you re-open app, how do you debug this? (or just set a debug point inside the stream listener?)

from flutter.
