Android subscription not getting acknowledged after purchase

I'm having the same error but there is a comment on this link [/issues/1006] stating that acknowledgment is not necessary depending on the second parameter, which is whether the item is consumable or not.

However, upon following the statement:

try { purchaseUpdateSubscription = IAP.purchaseUpdatedListener( async (purchase = SubscriptionPurchase) => { const receipt = purchase.transactionReceipt; if (receipt) { await IAP.finishTransaction({ purchase: purchase, inConsumable: false }).then((result) => { console.log("result: ", result) }).catch(err => { console.error(err.code, err.message); }); } }) } catch (error) { console.log("current purchase error handle: ", error.message) }

It gave me this error:

E_SERVICE_ERROR The service is unreachable. This may be your internet connection, or the Play Store may be down.

I hope someone can help. TIA!

Environment:
react-native-iap: 12.15.1
react-native: 0.74.2

This API No Longer Exists in v14+

acknowledgePurchaseAndroid has been removed in react-native-iap v14+.

You are using v12.x which is no longer supported.

Migration to v14+

In v14+, use finishTransaction which handles acknowledgment automatically:

import { useIAP } from 'react-native-iap';

const { finishTransaction } = useIAP({
  onPurchaseSuccess: async (purchase) => {
    // Validate purchase on your server first, then finish
    await finishTransaction({
      purchase,
      isConsumable: false, // true for consumables
    });
  },
});

Or using the root API:

import { finishTransaction, purchaseUpdatedListener } from 'react-native-iap';

purchaseUpdatedListener(async (purchase) => {
  if (purchase.transactionReceipt) {
    // finishTransaction handles acknowledgment internally
    await finishTransaction({
      purchase,
      isConsumable: false,
    });
  }
});

About E_SERVICE_ERROR

The "service is unreachable" error typically indicates:

• Network connectivity issues
• Google Play Store service down
• Emulator without Google Play Services
• Testing on device without proper Google account

Please Upgrade

Versions below v14 are no longer supported. Use at your own risk.
