How do I test my auto-renewing subscriptions with In-app Billing API version 3 in my Android app?

Question

Android suggests to migrate in-app billing from API v2 to v3.

http://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/v2/api.html

Android suggests that in-app billing API v3 now supports subscriptions.

Android suggests that there are still testing and real purchases.

If you read further down, there are requirements for test purchases:

Test purchases are only supported for in-app products, not for in-app subscriptions.

So how do we test in-app subscriptions in IAB v3?

Answer 1

The only way to test it is to actually purchase a monthly or a yearly subscription and wait until subscription expires (month/year + trial period).
