Question about play services (lemmy.kde.social)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello! I'm running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7 with sandboxed play services, and use some apps that depends on play services like Satispay and my banking app. Today I tried, as an experiment, to deactivate the play service app, and see what happens. Well, they both opens and seem to work, except for a notification saying "Activate Play Services, this app will not work if you don't" Is this notification lying? Or are some functionalitis not working without play services? If yes, which one?

Yea common, I get a lot of those when not using gapps at all. Some possible longshot issue will trigger that message.
