Is there a known way to obtain the google services framework ID from GrapheneOS? Most online guides link to apps that don't work anymore or require adb root. When adb root is run it says that it doesn't work on production builds.

The GSF ID is needed to get the play store to mark the device as certified to allow it to download certain apps.

      This is due to Play Integrity. Google deliberately makes custom OSes unable to pass this, so GOS cannot become certified. There is nothing you can do about this at the moment. This is not an issue with GOS or one GOS can fix, but an issue with Googles monopoly and entirely their fault.

      Play Integrity is being marketed as a security feature while absolutely not being one in the slightest bit. It only permits devices with stock OS that license GMS and bundle the prilveged Google Play Services. It also allows those even if they are EOL and without updates for 10 years. If it really would be about security, it would require regular updates, supported devices and obviously would permit GOS.
      Play Integrity is merely a tool for Googles monopoly.

      I understand play protect providers very little security and is just there to increase the market share of their software.

      But as an individual having to work around this, there is an option for custom ROM users to "certify" their device by providing their GSF ID here (g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration). If I understand it right, this would bypass these restrictions on some apps on the play store.

        Custom OSes are not ROMs, this is a wrong term.

        Aside from that, I don't think that you can do this. The general issue with Play Integrity is that there is no way around it. I have never heard that you could just register your device and I don't really see where this would make sense for Google to allow.

          I wish there was a way as easy as this. I think if this would work there would be more talk about it.

          But frankly I don't know. Maybe someone else does.

            Hi. I can't find gsf to even install it but people on the forum say it's necessary for apps to function. Where to get it?
            I'm not even sure it will solve my issues.

              It doesn't work.

              No, it's not necessary. You just need Google Play Services and Play Store if your app requires Google Play.
