pbl-v7-to-v9-migration

pbl-v7-to-v9-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RevenueCat/play-billing-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,490 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A two-stage guide for moving an Android app from Google Play Billing Library 7.x to 9.x. It covers the breaking changes in version 8 and the smaller compatibility changes in version 9.

In plain words
What is it for?
Migrating billing code from version 7 to 8 and then 9, updating removed or renamed APIs, adjusting pending-purchase and product-query code, and testing the result.
Why use it?
There is no single direct migration path that skips the version 8 changes. This guide lays out the required renames, dependency updates, build changes, and verification work in order.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pbl-v7-to-v9-migration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 0: Intent

Announce to the user: "I will migrate this project from PBL 7 to PBL 9 in two stages."

State the structure clearly. There is no direct v7 to v9 shortcut. Almost all of the breaking work belongs to v8.0.0 (the Sku* removals, the proration to replacement mode rename, alternative billing renames, the pending purchases params, the queryProductDetailsAsync result shape). v9 itself removed nothing and only adds a target SDK bump plus three small adjustments. So this migration is:

  • Stage A — v7 to v8: the heavy, mechanical rename work.
  • Stage B — v8 to v9: the small delta.

This skill is self contained, but each stage links to the dedicated single hop skill if you want the long form: pbl-v7-to-v8-migration and pbl-v8-to-v9-migration.

Urgency: PBL 7 stops accepting new app and update submissions on August 31, 2026. After that date you cannot ship any release (including security fixes) built on v7, so plan to be in production on v9 with margin for monitoring.

Phase 1: Discovery

  1. Locate the dependency. Find com.android.billingclient:billing in build.gradle(.kts) or libs.versions.toml. Confirm it reads 7.x (or 5.x/6.x compiling against v7 APIs — the same steps apply).
  2. Scan for every v7 era identifier. Grep the repo for each item in the Stage A rename map below. Record every hit; each is an edit site.
  3. Check SDK levels. Read minSdk, compileSdk, targetSdk. You will move minSdk to 23 and targetSdk to 35 across the migration.
  4. Check androidx.core. Record the version; Stage B needs 1.9+.
  5. Note alternative billing and developer provided billing usage. Grep for enableAlternativeBilling, AlternativeBillingListener, AlternativeChoiceDetails, and DeveloperProvidedBillingDetails.

Report back: "You are on PBL [current]. I found [N] v7 call sites across [M] files. Planning a two stage migration: v7 to v8, then v8 to v9.0.0."

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
