Apps don't recognize microG as GAPPS #667

Dear folks,

I installed ArchOS 9.0 which allows signature spoofing, F-Droid with microG repo and gsm core, location provdier and sfp. Self-Check says everything is fine. I also installed FakeStore. What am I missing? I need to get microG running without exposed since it's not compatible with Android 9.0. Thanks!

microG is never seen as GApps, I suppose you mean Play Services instead.

The message apps spit out is often misleading, it may also mean that those apps simply require a newer version of Play Services, rather than they don't see Play Services at all. It could also mean that they fail to detect Play Store.

So: does an older version of the app work? If so, it means it doesn't work with microG as it currently spoofs version 13.2.80 of Play Services. Also: does Fake Store have signature spoofing permission?

tl;dr you may need a microG GmsCore build with newer version number spoofed. See also #646
