In-app purchase support

[acsway878787]

I installed Google Play store and microG service core. I found that In-app purchase sometimes worked and sometimes not. So is In-app purchase official support?

@Nanolx Hi, I am coming from a clean install on lineage 16.0 Magisk + Nanodroid + Nanodroid Repository using your modified Play Store. All appears to work fine however, I can not download any of my purchased items, even though I can see them in my purchase history in the same app. Furthermore Applications using in app purchases do not recognize purchased in app purchases. However, if I attempt to purchase the item again, I get a toast message that I already own the item. This message does not unlock the items functionality though. The Logcat does not show any failures just many reauths. Any advise?

Did you grant fake package signature pemission? Does your device pass SafetyNet?

Wow - that was a simple fix. I enabled SafteyNet in the settings app as you suggested and it started to work. Thank you. At this point it might be worth mentioning that the options in the app which can be enabled are not quite clear and what their functions imply. Perhaps a label below the options would help other users? What would be the point of having only SafetyNet enabled or only the device registration or any other combination? I would love to contribute this information however I do not have the necessary knowledge.

Furthermore could you elaborate on the modification you made to the play store at some point if you have time? Is there more telephoning home going on, or is this removed also? How invasive and nosy is the modified play store with microg installed?

[Nanolx]

Yes, an ordinary user may want to simply enable all device registration, GCM and SafetyNet, but there are users who don't. The wiki could be improved, yes, I had in mind to spend some time improving it, though that's not going to be soon™.

The changes I made to the Play Store is only so that it uses signature spoofing and disabling most of it's update checks (to reduce battery drain to a minimum; else Play Store would endlessly try to update Play Services and itself, contributed by @Vavun), to ensure it's signature in-system is the same as microG's else security checks will not allow (in-)app-purchases if the don't match.

You can find the patch here, currently version 14.5.52: https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/doc/Phonesky.diff

@Nanolx People like me who wants to use the Aurora Store are still excluded.

External workarounds doesn't seem to be valid fixes in my opinion.

[Nanolx]

Nobody will re-implement Google's license validation and purchase API. That would be a clear TOS violation, may even be considered illegal in some countries.

But your play store hack is a license violation either. So this issue can't ever get fixed (external).

That's sad, since that's the only issue for me to switch to microG forever.

[Nanolx]

But not replicating any API. All I do is giving PS fake signature permission, all functional code is unchanged, all APIs are official, including access to them.

So yes it's a TOS violation, but not as critical and potentially "piracy" (wtf is illegal duplication verbally linked to pirates??) allowing re-implentation of the license validation API.

Sadly there was no update since 10 months from @Nanolx and accordingto a bug report, it won't work with LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) :( So back to OpenGapps Pico :(

What about a new nightly for testing please?

How does that work? Do you still need the Play Store installed to facilitate the purchase?

[mar-v-in]

You need latest version (0.3.1) of microG Services and microG Companion.
