App notifications on grapheneOS

SecurityOPA

Please excuse me if this question has been posted several times. I have read many many topics.. whether they are old or I could not reach my answer.

I have installed/activated the Google sandbox. But I still do not get the notifications related to some apps such as NextCloud (PlayStore version), My Bank app notifications and so on.

I can only get the notifications of Signal, Threema and the native SMS app.

Your help is highly appreciated.

SecurityOPA which did you install first? The apps you aren't getting notifications for or the sandboxed play services?

Did you exclude play services from battery optimization?

SecurityOPA

Thank you for your reply...

No I have not.. And usually I disable the network for the play services because even with the Network on it was not working...

I am going to exlude the plqy services from the Battery optimization to see if it helps

Thanks

That is a good question!

Some of the apps are installed by Aurora...

But after installation of the Google sandbox, those that were not working without the play started to work (I mean the app itself and not the notifications) so l did not reinstall them using the play store again.

SecurityOPA anything that was installed prior to the sandboxed play services needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled. The apps look for play services and FCM on first use. They might otherwise work but FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging, Googles Push Service) won't. Let me know if this helps resolve the issue.

SecurityOPA You should install Play Services before installing apps using it. Try reinstalling the apps. Play Services need battery optimization turned off and network permission allowed to work properly.
