Same Issue guys, Now I’m trying to upload a version disabling the subsystem. I don’t use the Billing but in some way the permission is always present.

It’s seem that unreal 5 is not support billing library version 4 yet. I solved it by download “Android Play Billing” plugin. Install this plugin and enable it then restart the project. No need to do anything, just enable the plugin, it can solve the red warning google play console about billing library version.
Hope this plugin work for others. :slightly_smiling_face:

I see a very recent commit to ue5-main source code branch that upgrades the Android Billing Library to v5 (and it also contains some related Online Subsystem stuff refactoring)

I hope it will be available throught the official launcher with the next UE5 release.

The question is If this is going to be backported to UE4 though.

what was the subsystem you disabled? disabling it resolved your problem?

Thanks it worked. You saved me

This will be updated for 5.1, in both GitHub and the binary in the launcher.

For 4.27, there is a commit to the 4.27+ branch at CL 22982649, but we won’t be doing another binary release on the launcher. The only way to snag this fix for 4.27 will be from source.

There is a syntax error in the 4.27+ branch, and project don’t build. I added a pull request with a correction.

Is it possible to fix the sources of UE4.25-plus, because this version works well with mobile VR?

Hey :wave:

Can you please upgrade the play billing version to 5 or 6 because play store will take apps about PBL 5 and above from 2 August
