Square, please update ASAP. This is a blocker for all your customers trying to release a new Android build after November 1, 2025.

I had to look deep into the docs to find out how to manually upgrade Square’s Android package for React Native. For anyone else reading, it’s here:
https://github.com/square/in-app-payments-react-native-plugin/blob/master/docs/get-started.md#step-4-configure-your-android-project

You need to add sqipVersion = "1.6.8" as a key/value under ext in android/build.gradle.

Here is a link to a conversation on the Square forums confirming 1.6.8 of the In-App Payments SDK fixes the issue:
