<Update label="May 31, 2026" description="Latest">
  ## Android Payment Links SDK 1.6.0

  **Release notes:**

  * New event system logic for better reliability and performance, including normalized SDK status codes for consistency across platforms.
  * Added `orderResponseModel` to the `onPurchaseFailed` callback, allowing you to access full order details, such as `orderId`, `offerName`, and `price` on failed purchases.
  * SDK now includes network state support with retry functionality to handle cases of internet connection interruptions during order validation.
  * Updated foreground service type from `dataSync` to `shortService`, reducing Google Play Console declaration requirements. Manifest permissions and service tag are required.

  ## Android Payment Links SDK 1.5.0

  **Release notes:**

  * Improved the return-to-game flow via deeplink by reducing order validation processing time, resulting in a faster user experience.
  * Implemented a togglable foreground service to initiate notification status and keep the game thread active during checkout. (Recommended for older devices and memory-intensive applications, as it reduces the likelihood of Android system process termination.)
