Sandboxed Google Play Services not appearing in Apps repository

Trainman4570

As the title says, none of the mirrored google apps are appearing in my Apps list. I have tried the option "All Packages" with no avail. Searching for them does not give me anuthing either. I am running the latest Version 11 of Apps.

Trainman4570 Which device do you have?

You have to tap on the three buttons on top right and select All packages.

They do not seem to appear, even when selecting "All packages"

muhomorr That would make sense then, I have a Pixel 3a, maybe that is why it doesn't appear for me.

You definitely have an outdated version of GrapheneOS. Play services and Play Store that are currently in Apps app need a recent GrapheneOS version to work. They are hidden on older releases because they don't work there.

Trainman4570 I've installed GOS yesterday (from web install) on my Pixel 3a and have got sandboxed google available. But my Apps version is 10 (stable), not 11. I didn't have to select "all packages" to see it, it was already there.

Trainman4570 Update OS version on your device. Pixel 3a has full support for latest Play services and Play Store.

carrioncrow I also was able to install play services when I first installed GOS but the option is now gone for me.

muhomorr I am currently running Android 12 SP2A.220505.008. I will try to update, but when I click the "check for updates" button in settings it first gives me a notification which says:

"Downloading system update"

Then it changes to

"Installing system update"

However the progress bar does not move and the notification dissapears soon after.

Trainman4570 You can sideload the update if you know how to use adb.
Latest release can be downloaded from https://grapheneos.org/releases#sargo-stable

Do you guys have any other recommendable ways of installing GPS?
