[β] LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 months ago (2 children) I'm confused. Has Graphene said they're not going to comply with Google's policy for installing 3rd party apps? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Zak@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago The policy is mandated for "certified" Android devices. Those have Google apps preloaded and pass Google's remote attestation. GrapheneOS is not certified and has no plans to be. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 months ago (2 children) This crap from Google requires Google Services (Play, etc) - OS's like Graphene and Lineage don't have those services pre-installed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Nexus@infosec.pub 5 points 2 months ago (3 children) I'm not a GrapheneOS user (yet). However, as I understand it GrapheneOS does not obligate the installation of "Google Play Services" but does permit the installation of the service in a sandboxed environment (or separate profile). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago You understand correctly. permalink fedilink source parent [β] w3ird_sloth@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago Join us... permalink fedilink source parent [β] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago Yep. GrapheneOS provides the Google apps that you wouldn't be able to easily get otherwise, but allows you to install them or not. And they come with additional privacy protections. permalink fedilink source parent [β] LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 child) I wonder how long it'll be before google services/play refuse to install on anything that is not "Google Certified". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] muhyb@programming.dev 1 point 2 months ago It's already like that on Xiaomi phones for a while. They don't let you install anything outside of Play Store. Even if you install them via unlocking developer options and using adb, they just won't run. permalink fedilink source parent
