Google Play store has stopped

Question

I have in app purchase functionality in my app using google play store. I updated my play version to 11.0.1 from 9.8.0. After updating while trying to purchase a product in staging I am getting the popup saying google play store has stopped. But it's working fine in the production. I am a bit confuse is this crash happening because of the play service updation.

I am getting the below crash:

and here is my purchase manager:

//Last parameter - RUN=false, BODY=true
    public boolean purchase(String productShortcode, String sku, Activity activityObj, boolean subscription) throws RemoteException, IntentSender.SendIntentException {
        Log.d(TAG, "Start Purchase");
        String type = "inapp";
        if(subscription)    {
            type = "subs";
        }
        Bundle buyIntentBundle = mService.getBuyIntent(3, activityObj.getPackageName(),
                sku, type, productShortcode);
        for(String key : buyIntentBundle.keySet())  {
            Log.d("Purchase", key +" :: " + buyIntentBundle.get(key));
        }
        if(buyIntentBundle.getInt("RESPONSE_CODE", 0) == 7)    {
            Log.d(TAG, "Item is already purchased, consume and try again");
            return false;
        }
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = buyIntentBundle.getParcelable("BUY_INTENT");
        activityObj.startIntentSenderForResult(pendingIntent.getIntentSender(),
                1001, new Intent(), Integer.valueOf(0), Integer.valueOf(0),
                Integer.valueOf(0));
        return true;
    }

Can someone tell me what is the issue?
