Hi,

When i want to launch Microg (fakestore i think) playstore, it does not launch and redirects me to MicroG settings with error message.

"microG Companion cannot be used standalone. Opened microG Services setti..."

I use last beta version of microG (same problem with stable version).

Phone Huawei P60 Pro on EMUI 13.1.0

Thanks for your help !

This is intentional. The MicroG "Play Store" only handles IAP and License Verification, and does not support installing apps on its own (yet?)

To change the IAP/Licensing settings, click "Play Store Services" from your second screenshot.

If you want to install things from Google Play, use a project like Aurora Store, or apkmirror.

I've already Aurora store but I can't do the updates automatically, I have to validate them one after the other and it's really long and you have to check almost every day if there are updates to be made...

As you said, we have Playstore app with microg but we can't use it ? it just serve to licence verification ?

You are wrong, there isn't any Play Store. On some devices there can be remnant of the Play Store but I suppose it is only a sort of cache issue of Android since the Play Store icon doesn't exist in microG.

FakeStore (microG Companion) is not a "real app" like you think, it just provide way for other apps to verify licenses and also some other things but there isn't any graphical interface at all.
