@evilcookies98 @GrapheneOS It's a Android problem / upstream issue. GrapheneOS generally prefers to tweak Android not too much to make it easier to maintain, etc. But I definitly get what you mean.
@voxel @GrapheneOS I love the system though. My only problem is that some of my accessibility specific apps refuse to install. One of them is almost a dealbreaker. Haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet. It’s one of my readers that plays my books.
@evilcookies98 @voxel Every app should install with no problem. They should nearly all work with no problem too, unless t hey need the per-app exploit protection compatibility mode enabled due to a memory corruption bug.
What about installing it isn't working? Does installing it from the Play Store cause an error? Play Store installs apps one-by-one and it might be stuck waiting for another. Try again after a reboot of the OS if you think it's stuck.
@[email protected] @[email protected] it just flatly refused to install. It came up and said not available for this device and cannot install.
@[email protected] @[email protected] The only reason that would be the case is if these apps marked their Play Store listing as disallowing non-certified devices by configuring it as if their app depends on the Play Integrity API. It sounds like one of these software developers doesn't understand that configuration. Can install them via Aurora Store as a workaround. It's highly unlikely they actually use the Play Integrity API to prevent you from using an alternate OS. Netflix used to make the same mistake.
@[email protected] @[email protected] thanks. Problem is this is a paid app.
@[email protected] @[email protected] You can log into an account with it instead of using their default shared accounts which we wouldn't even really recommend using because it's sketchy.
