android - Application Error : This version of the application is not configured for Market Billing

Question

Since a couple of days it's possible to use in-app-billing in Android apps. Very cool of course. So, I started working on a update for my application to implement this. But now I run into some problems. This is what I did:

• I first tried the reserved product IDs for testing static in-app billing responses. That works without problems.
• I uploaded a draft APK to the market (with production signing, no debug signing), that included the com.android.vending.BILLING permission.
• When I did that I was able to add a 'In-app Products' to my app in the market and set it status to published.
• I created a test user and reseted my device to make that test user the primary account on my test device.
• The reserved product id's still work.

Now comes the problem. When I use my own product ID (the one I added before, see above) a dialog is shown with the following text:

"Application Error : This version of the application is not configured for Market Billing. Check the help center for more information."

There is nothing strange I can find in the log. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I just encountered this issue and realized it was because I was running a debug, unsigned version of my app. In Eclipse, when I exported and signed my application and installed it on the phone, then I was able to use my in-app products without seeing this error message.
