GrapheneOS App Store 24

I had issues with Android Auto months ago and in a futile attempt to solve issues, I uninstalled it. It has never shown up in the GOS App Store and I can't install it from another source.

I had assumed perhaps it was part of the GOS releases and just waited for an update that would include a new version of Android Auto. However, reading the threads here seems to indicate that it SHOULD be showing up as an installable app in GOS App Store.

Any idea how to get Android Auto back?

    squart Is it possible you "uninstalled" or disabled GmsCompat and/or GmsCompatConfig? That's the only reason I know of why Android Auto wouldn't show up.

        GmsCompatConfig is version 124

        I can't confirm GmsCompat is installed as I don't see it anywhere.

            Tap the 3 dots in the top right of the "All apps" screen and press Show system. Then GmsCompat will display.

                squart fyi I edited your comment so the link would work.

                Looks like you're looking for GmsCompat in another place! Can you check here: Settings > Apps > All apps > 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner > show system > GmsCompat. Make sure that app is enabled.

                      @squart Your phone is missing 6 months of GrapheneOS updates. It's likely the source of the issue. Please try this: Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps > tap the three dots upper-right corner > Show system > Find and tap on System Updater: enable it if it is disabled. Then select Storage & cache > tap on Clear cache, tap on Clear Storage.

                      Then go to Settings > System > System Updater and do a manual check for updates.

                      (If you had changed any settings in the System Updater they will have been reset now so you'll have to change them back).

                        DISCOVERY: I had network permission disabled for System Updater, so even though I have been manually checking for updates, nothing would happen. For months. LOL.

                        Downloading an update now and will report back.

                            Obligatory disclaimer: Do not remove/touch the permissions of system apps in any way. On top of potential issues caused, there's simply no reason to do so.

                                I believe my intent way back then was to prevent auto updates and force having to manual updates. But of course disabling network disabled both of those. There is now feedback/notification when the manual update check fails or doesn't happen at all.

                                GOOD NEWS

                                • Android Auto is now in App Store
                                • Successfully installed Android Auto
                                • Enabled wired and wireless and at least wired is working at the moment

                                Thank you all for your help!

                                Is there a way to edit the title of this post to add [SOLVED] or something like that?
