Hi,
according to the documentation, store.loadProducts() is not supported by Android. Are there plans to support this, because according to http://developer.android.com/training/in-app-billing/list-iab-products.html#QueryDetails it would be possible to query product details.
It would be nice if I’d have a possibility to show the user its localized prizes instead of a generic USD price in the selection of our app.
Thanks in advance for considering!
Best regards,
Martin
Corona SDK is based on Google IAP v2. loadProducts() was added in v3, which we do not support. The best thing you can do is go to:

And file a request and vote it up and get your friends to vote it up. The more votes it gets, the more it will rise in the priority list.

+1 and I added a new feedback request. It’s got my one vote so I suppose I better not hold my breath… but I’ll state my case here in the hope it will be heard by the powers that be:
Current version of IAP on Google Play is V3. Corona currently only supports V2. This means store.loadProducts() and store.canLoadProducts() won’t work which means that basic functionality, such as fetching the product description and price of an IAP for Google Play store is impossible. Even Corona’s own IAP sample app won’t work correctly on Android/Google Play if you use real product ids. (The sample app uses the Google static IAP test ids in order to work but this is kind of a hack and a little misleading. It certainly misled me for a day of coding before I hit this wall. )
We really need updated, compatible, cross platform IAP functionality for all platforms, not just iOS. The one real selling point of the “Pro” version of Corona SDK is IAP. But as I write this the only platform that is fully supported is Apple. Google support is using the old V2 SDK missing critical functionality and Amazon IAP has been promised but not delivered since last year. I haven’t tried it yet but it looks like the Nook IAP using Fortumo plugin uses an entirely different API making cross-platform code for IAP unwieldy.
Hi, thanks for taking the lead, I have not yet had time to file the request. I backed your request with all the votes I could add (i.e. 3). Let’s hope some others will join in, because I as well think that this is a crucial feature.
All I can really say is that I’ve asked engineering to re-look at this, but the task is monumental to build V3 into our platform. Many developers have successfully rolled out apps using Google’s V2 version where you list the product and let Google show the localized price. I know you won’t be happy with that answer, but the engineering team is going to be asked to look and see where moving to V3 could possibly happen in the schedule. But this isn’t going to be an over night or even next week or next month solution. Even Fortumo doesn’t give you a loadProducts feature.
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the timeframe details and for putting in a word to the engineers. I will try to make do with the V2 features in the mean time.
