Billing library update

Hello.
On Google console I received this message (translated from Italian):

Retirement of the Play Billing Library version

We have detected that this app uses an outdated version of Google Play Billing. Effective November 1, 2023, all app updates must use version 5 or later of the Billing Library.

Action required: Verify that publicly available APKs are updated to the latest version of the Play Billing Library. This includes any APKs or app bundles implemented in production.

How can I update this billing library in my imminent new Android release?
My Manifest does not contain and entry like: com.google.android.play.billingclient.version
Thanks

Are you absolutely sure this is not a SCAM?

Odd, that this:

https://developer.android.com/google/pl ... ease-notes

mentions 2 August, and only 1 November in reference to existing apps.

No scam.
It appears on the google console web page, line 5

I created a bug report 24301, because I think this regards in app purchase handling of LC.

Good. This is something that LC needs to fix in the engine.

Hello.
I read that on LC 9.6.9 the problem with google billing library was fixed.
I assumed that this was also the case for LC 10 dp6 but, apparently, this is not the case. I tried to install my standalone on a Android 13 hardware device and today I got the following failure.

Are we talking of the reteriment of the Play Billing Library version? In a test install?

[trevix]

I guess there is some update to be done on the Android studio app, but I don't know which one.

I think there was fix for Android in both 9.6.10 and 10 DP6 (although not sure if that covers your specific issue).

From the release notes for 10 DP6:

We’ve updated the supported Android API in this release to API 33 so that you can go on submitting your Android apps to the Google Play store without issues. Note that you need to use the Build Tools SDK version 31 with this, do not update your Build Tools to a version later than 31.

Not sure if that helps. - but obviously you should use Build Tools SDK version 31 only

In the release notes of LC10 DP6 there is no mention of the billiing library update, as on LC9.6.10.
I am already using the SDK version 31.
I think there should be some library update to be done in Android studio, but I could not find the correct one and I don't dare to update other stuff ("Google Play APK Expansion Library"??) which I don't even know what are used for.
