Incoming JSON request does not map to API request when trying to make a payment

[gibona]

This affects:
all modes(Mock/Sandbox/Live)
all PayPal Android SDK releases distributed via maven,
all Android Version and Devices

From sandbox debug console:
"message": "Incoming JSON request does not map to API request",
"information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#MALFORMED_REQUEST",
"name": "MALFORMED_REQUEST",
"debug_id": "9a765ba5199cc"

When I looked into JSON request I noticed that the [] symbols (for start and end of array) are doubled like [[ ]].

To fix it add:
-keep class org.json.* { ; }
-keep interface org.json.* { ; }
-keep enum org.json.* { ; }
to your proguard configuration.

Hi there, thanks for reporting this! We haven't seen this issue before. What other dependencies do you have in your project? Have you been able to reproduce this in the sample app?

[gibona]

I'm integrating PayPal-Android-SDK into a large product (120M+ users). We have lots of modifications and lots of other SDK int that project. Our proguard config file is 900 lines long and I cannot guess which one is responsible for org.json.* obfuscation.

Looks like you're missing a * in the braces, so it should be { *; }. We can add the configuration above so that it's included in the proguard file within the distributed aar.

That will be great, thanks

👍 This will be ready in the next release, coming shortly.

Fixed in 2.14.4.
