How to remove Entitlement after refund a test order (in app purchase) in play console

Am testing in-app purchase in my app, i made a test order then while refund it I forgot to check on remove Entitlement box, now am stuck with this in-app purchase

I contact play console support in 11 Aug and they always reply ("we are investigating the issue")

How to remove the Entitlement ?

Solution 1:

There is a solution, from your app: consume the product.

Add this temporary code and run it for your purchase.

private fun testConsumePurchase(purchase: Purchase) {
    val params = ConsumeParams.newBuilder()
        .setPurchaseToken(purchase.purchaseToken)
        .build()
    billingClient.consumeAsync(params) { _, _ ->
        Timber.w("Consumed!")
    }
}

After this, remove the code and continue testing as usual. You will not own the SKU anymore and you will be unblocked, you can buy it again on your main test account. Remember next time to check the "Remove Entitlement" box with your refund :-)

Solution 2:

I Contacted Play console support, the respond is it will be added in the future

So as a question answer is: NO you can't remove entitlement after refunding

The Play Console doesn’t currently support removing entitlement when a refund has already been issued. Luckily, we place a high value on developer feedback, and I’ll be sure to pass along your specific feedback to our product team. We’re continually adding new features and functionality, so please stay tuned.
