android google play billing library v2.0.3 acknowledgePurchase failed with error code 5 in Android Q (api 29)

I've followed the google sample code and it's failing to acknowledge non consumable product purchase and is getting refunded, only on Android Q (api 29).

returned error is code 5 , which is DEVELOPER_ERROR which defines as "Invalid arguments provided to the API. This error can also indicate that the application was not correctly signed or properly set up for In-app Billing in Google Play, or does not have the necessary permissions in its manifest" in documentation.

Any idea how this is happening ? It's working well in other Android version phones.

  • After trying out many options, Finally found an answer.

    I was trying to acknowledge already acknowledged purchases. So, old android versions were basically accepting that, and in Android Q, it returns an error. So I checked for purchase.isAcknowledged and problem is solved.
