In the subscription dashboard we see the following warning message (as shown in attached screenshot) “you are using the InAppProduct API to manage subscriptions, which is not longer updated.Start using the new Subscription API to get new features including multiple base plans and offers”
Upon searching found some threads explaining the changes
“In May 2022, we introduced changes in the way subscription products are defined and managed in the Play Console. These changes provide you with greater flexibility in how you sell subscriptions, and reduce the complexity of managing subscriptions.”

As we are using unity IAP plugin what changes do we need to support this, how can we stop the warning.
@Yannick_D Is there any change in the status of this since your last update? The messaging we have from Google is:
“You’re using the InAppProduct API to manage subscriptions, which is now deprecated and will stop being supported for new apps in January 2024, and for all apps in May 2024. Start using the new Subscriptions API to get new features including multiple base plans and offers, as well as prepaid plans.”
So I would guess support will need to be available for new apps by January 2024? Or is there some reason why this will not be an issue if subscriptions are flagged as “Backwards compatible”?
We don’t use the InAppProduct API, so this shouldn’t affect IAP directly.
However, if your implementation of IAP does API calls to Google, then the InAppProducts API will no longer be available for new applications only starting January 2024. Existing applications will be fine until May 2024.
I’ve reported the issue to the team to see if we can raise the priority on this.
