Use queryProductDetailsAsync instead of querySkuDetailsAsync. Deadline is August 31, 2026

[gn-gabriel-rv]

Description

The current implementation uses the deprecated querySkuDetailsAsync method from the Google Play Billing Library. Google recommends migrating to queryProductDetailsAsync, which is required for newer versions of the API.

Billing Library version 7 is supported until August 2026, but version 8 requires queryProductDetailsAsync and no longer supports the old SKU-based API.

Why this matters

• querySkuDetailsAsync is deprecated
• Billing Library 8 does not support it
• Ensures compatibility with upcoming Play Store requirements

Proposed Solution

• Replace querySkuDetailsAsync with queryProductDetailsAsync
• Migrate from SkuDetails to ProductDetails
• Update related purchase flow logic

Acceptance Criteria

• No usage of querySkuDetailsAsync
• All queries use queryProductDetailsAsync
• Purchase flows work as expected

Alternatives

Newer subscription products don't appear by default when using the deprecated API. They must be explicitly marked as backward compatible in the Google Play Console to be returned via querySkuDetailsAsync. This will stop working on August 2026.

Hi Gabriel! Thanks for reporting this. We are aware of the changes in Billing Library and we're planning to update Android Browser Helper before August 2026 - however the timeline for this is not yet defined as we're still figuring out how to fit this in with our other commitments.
I will update this issue once we have specific plans to start working on this.
