Hi,
I followed the README steps but encountered the build failure, here is the error output:

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

I'm not familiar with Gradle and Android development so don't know how to troubleshoot.

I was able to build and use the plugin on Godot 4.2.1 by doing the following:

1. Clone the repo
2. Make sure I'm on the master branch
3. Pull the billing-v5 branch into the master branch
4. Resolve all merge conflicts by choosing whatever code is in the Billing v 5.2.0 #52 pull request

Hi Tom, after merging in the #52 PR, were you using the docs for the 4.2 Godot or were you using earlier docs?

I used the 4.2 docs :)

Here's a link to the specific page just to be sure: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/android/android_in_app_purchases.html

Thanks Tom!

Managed to understand what code was needed to be updated. Turns out the master branch just needed an updated gradle wrapper to 7.4.2, updating the Android build tools to 7.2.2 and updating the repository name in build.gradle file. With this Gradle compiles the master branch properly and should be good for 4.2.1!

If anyone needs help with gradle compile issues feel free to chuck me a message and I'll see if I can help out. I'll also look into getting a PR merged so no one needs to make these changes themselves. Until then people are free to use my fork and compile it. Should work as long as you have Java 17 installed. https://github.com/PrabhTonicbits/godot-google-play-billing

Hi Sage,
Sorry about that, it seems like the service I used does a onetime download link and I downloaded it to check if it was working lol!

Thank you really much.

@TomSemeijn Did try your fork, and i got a bit further. Now I do however get a bunch of these messages:

/Users/gillbergprivat/Dev/godot-google-play-billing-fork/godot-google-play-billing/src/main/java/org/godotengine/godot/plugin/googleplaybilling/utils/GooglePlayBillingUtils.java:33: error: cannot find symbol import org.godotengine.godot.Dictionary; ^ symbol: class Dictionary location: package org.godotengine.godot
Any idea? :)

@grusad It happened to me because I was moving the .arr to the wrong folder.

After forking the repo, it created a folder with the name godot-google-play-billing. My mistake was to create the folder libs directly inside of it. But there's another folder inside the fork named godot-google-play-billing. That's the folder to add the .arr file, fixing the problem in my case.

Illustrating:

• godot-google-play-billing
  • godot-google-play-billing
    • libs
      • godot-lib.***.release.aar

Silly mistake, but took me hours to find out. xD
