acknowledge purchase
This block is part of the android group and was last modified in core v15.0.0.
acknowledge purchase v15.0.0 Tells Play you have granted what the user bought. Not optional: Google revokes and refunds any purchase left unacknowledged for three days, so a flow that verifies a purchase and stops here gives the money back : days later, quietly.

Google refunds any purchase that is not acknowledged within three days, so this block is not optional bookkeeping: it is the step that keeps the payment. Verify first, unlock the entitlement, then call acknowledge purchase on the true side of the branch. The already_acknowledged pin means a retry is safe, which matters because this chain will be re-run by a client that lost its connection halfway.
