Billing Response Codes

Phase 0: Intent

Use this skill when you need to look up the meaning, category, or handling strategy for a value returned by BillingResult.getResponseCode() or BillingResult.getOnPurchasesUpdatedSubResponseCode() in the Play Billing Library. This reference covers:

Use this skill to answer questions like "what does response code 7 mean", "should I retry on SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE", or "how do I handle ITEM_ALREADY_OWNED".
