Request Failed [RpcClientException] when trying to pay with google pay TEST env

Question

Google pay TEST env used to work, there haven't been any gpay related changes in my project for a year but now I started to get this error. This is on test environment.

I get the error when I press on continue button (on this screen)

I also get these logs:

2023-07-31 16:41:20.318  2792-4169  GmsTaskScheduler        com.google.android.gms.persistent    E  sendWakeUpEvent called on SchedulerClientBroadcastStrategy

What could be wrong here? How do I solve this?

Answer 1

We had the same issue (and other problems) that were caused by using "NIS" as the currency code instead of "ILS". changing to "ILS" in our case fixed the problems so i would check your country and currency codes.

Answer 2

If you are using Direct Integration then RpcClientException can happen if you are using one of the card from test card suite provided by Google in your Android app.

You have to use the real card in your test environment to finalize your testing.

I know it is weird but they have stopped completing transaction through one of their test card suite in Direct integration.

I received this confirmation from Google support team.
