Find affected artifacts
Check build.gradle dependencies and the metadata embedded in maintained APKs/AABs that request the billing permission.
Choose the migration target
A supported version is required for new submissions. The right migration target depends on your app architecture, subscription implementation and release risk.
Test the complete purchase lifecycle
Do not stop at a successful purchase dialog. Test pending, cancelled, restored, acknowledged and subscription-state paths using official testing tools.
Backend matters
Apps with significant billing logic should validate purchases and manage entitlements securely on the backend where appropriate.
Official sources
Policies and platform requirements can change. Check the linked official documentation for the latest wording before acting on a time-sensitive case.
