It's well known that the app relies FCM for notifications.

ultome 1. ProtonMail refuses to show push up notifications in the absence of "updated Google Play services";
This is normal. This is because the "google play services" component is required for push notifications to work. All regular phones have play services installed. It is not pre-installed on graphene os for your privacy. If you install sandboxed google play then push notifications will work. (You will have to reinstall the app too, after).
ultome Even with LAN networking enabled, ProtonVPN prevents KDE Connect to link my laptop (Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 5) and my phone (though they're connected to the same Wi-Fi network);
I have experienced the same thing with the mullvad vpn app. It seems these vpn apps can't do a good job of allowing local network traffic. Not sure if this is because of grapheme or not.
ultome And (finally something non Proton-related) ChatGPT refuses to work at all without Google Play "enabled".
Some corporate apps choose to be this way. That's why graphene has made it possible to install google play on graphene, so that such apps can work. It will be your personal choice to install google play and use apps like chatGPT. The reason that apps like chatGPT require play services is mostly so that they can track you and get your identity. There is no good reason to justify this requirement. To use such corporate apps you will likely need to install play services.
ultome Yes. The installation of the three core Google Play apps is required. Play services and the Play Store depend on each other. One will not work properly without the other and they both depend on the Google Services Framework app.
Please give https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play a read through.
Proton is a lame ass company that advocates privacy and yet relies on Google's FCM.

The same for with protonvpn.
However Kde connects works fine if you untoggle "block connection without vpn".
ErnestThornhill Thanks.
