Play Billing v5 release, IronSource updates
This last month has seen the release of the major update for our InAppBilling extension to support the latest version of the play billing library from Google for the Play Store. This update brings a major change to the way subscriptions are handled and is critical for any updates or new applications released to the Play Store.
Additionally we have released several updates and new mediation networks for the ironSource extension.
Many of you will have received the following notice from Google over the previous months:
Starting on August 2, 2022, all new apps must use Billing Library version 4 or newer. By November 1, 2022, all updates to existing apps must use Billing Library version 4 or newer.
We are excited to announce that version 14 of the InAppBilling extension brings v5.0.0 of the Billing library so you will be able to update your applications before the November deadline for updates.
Cutouts/Notches, InAppBilling testing
This month a series of smaller updates have been released including updates for Application, Adverts and Permissions extensions to address some minor issues that were found in the extensions and to add some features.
The AS3 reference has finally been updated to reflect the latest changes in the AIR SDK since harman took over development. We have been able to host it on the air sdk developer portal, so if you need access to the latest actionscript reference you will find it here: https://airsdk.dev/reference.
Additionally if you have any tutorials or guides that may be useful for the AIR community please reach out to us and we can help you get them hosted on the airsdk.dev site.
APM Update, InAppBilling testing
This month a series of smaller updates have been released including updates for Firebase, Adverts and Share extensions to address some minor issues that were found in the extensions.
Importantly APM v1.2.0 has been released! If you aren't using APM to manage your extensions we highly recommend spending a small amount of time to migrate to using this tool. It will save you an enormous amount of time maintaining your application descriptor particularly for Android builds when needing to update the manifest additions.
SWC Build issues, InApp Billing changes, iOS Simulator
There is a lot of work in progress at the moment with some major changes coming up later this year, particularly for Android and the Google Play store.
