IAP Causes Splash Freeze

[indystars]

I am using the Amazon Fire App Builder to create a streaming app. It works great when testing. Submitted fine to Amazon, no issues.

However, when I enable IAP and follow the steps to add my subscription IAPs, it freezes on the splash screen. If I disable IAP it loads again. Seems to be an issue in the actual purchasing component?

E/SplashActivity: Failed to put data in cache for recipe

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.Object com.amazon.android.module.Module.getImpl(boolean)' on a null object reference

As an update:

In the purchasehelper.java on line 145, if I comment out .getImpl(true); I actully get the app to load. However, when I click to go premium to test I get an error my network connection is unavailable.

No one else?

I got a similar error. Did you ever fix this?

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm trying to enable IAP in a new app using the latest version of Fire App Builder and am getting this same error.

Well for anyone else who comes across this, here's the fix. Amazon's documentation at https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-app-builder/load-a-component.html indicates that AmazonInAppPurchasingComponent is loaded in the SDK but not configured. Follow the instructions on this page to add the component to settings.gradle, BUT make sure that you note that the component is mislabeled in the SDK. Instead of using the name AmazonInAppPurchasingComponent, you need to use AmazonInAppPurchaseComponent in settings.gradle. Update this file and the sync the project.

When you sync it, you'll get error messages, because the AmazonInAppPurchaseComponent contains deprecated code. Open the build.gradle for the AmazonInAppPurchaseComponent module and replace the "compile," "testCompile," and "androidTestCompile" text with "implementation," "testImplementation," and "androidTestImplementation" respectively, then sync the project.
