Error trying to install google play after uninstalling through app store

Frittata

"Unable to download Google Play services, Google Play Store: Unable to resolve the server name.

Details:
java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "apps.grapheneos.org": No address associated with hostname"

I'm really not techy. Thought I'd uninstall google play when not using it but can't get it back.

Is there an easy fix? Can you please explain each step?

Frittata

Frittata I perhaps should have mentioned that I saw this other thread and tried restarting and it didn't resolve the issue.

If that message is received occasionally, it probably means there was some transient problem with the local network. If that message is received repeatedly, something is probably wrong with the configuration of the network or perhaps the device -- maybe an ad blocker, maybe some other content filter, maybe a misconfigured VPN client or VPN server.

What happens if the device is taken somewhere else, such as a coffee shop or a public library?

I saw another post where someone had uninstalled google play via some other discouraged mechanism and had a similar problem. There was a patch to download that I believe I downloaded but can't figure out how to execute. I cannot emphasize enough how much so much of basic tech goes over my head. I cannot even figure out how to search the forum to see if there are solutions to my exact situation; I found these other cases via scrolling I'd be most grateful for someone to help me to troubleshoot. Thank you.

How was Google Play deleted from your 9a?

Frittata

I'm using graphene os on both a 9a and tablet and having the same issue both places. I'm brand new to android.

Should I be able to install and uninstall Google play?

Maybe I did it the discouraged way?

Really grateful for any guidance.

Frittata

I downloaded the AppStore-21.zip but don't know how to execute the files. Apologies I still can't find this thread to link here. Is this on the right track? Anyone able to walk me through this? Really grateful for this os, community and dive in over my head to learning a new system.

de0u Thank you for these helpful questions. I'm consistently getting this issue across different WiFi networks.

Frittata After uninstalling the sandboxed Google play I now get an error message when I try to install it again.

Yes.

Frittata Are you suggesting that WiFi may be the issue and that I should try reinstalling using my cellular data?

I think it would be good to try that.

Frittata Why might this solve for the error message I'm receiving?

As indicated above (de0u) repeatedly receiving that message suggests that something is wrong with the configuration of the network(s) being used, or perhaps something is wrong with the networking configuration of the device. Repeatedly receiving that message is not likely to represent a bug in GrapheneOS.

Frittata Or are you making suggestions from trouble shooting the VPN not working?

I don't know, because -- though I asked for this information -- I still don't know whether or not the device is using a VPN client or an ad blocker.

Since I don't have that information, I suggest:

Turn Wi-Fi off.
If any VPN client is in use, disable it.
If any ad blocker is in use, disable it.
Turn cellular data on.
Then launch the "App Store" app and try to install Google Play.

To be clear, I am not requiring that you do any of those things! But, given the information available to me so far, that's my best suggestion.

Frittata

de0u This is a great question! I believe I just did it on the phone in the graphene app store where I had installed it.

How about cellular?

Is an ad blocker or VPN client in use?

Frittata

de0u thank you for supporting. I'm sorry I don't understand the question. After uninstalling the sandboxed Google play I now get an error message when I try to install it again. Are you suggesting that WiFi may be the issue and that I should try reinstalling using my cellular data? Why might this solve for the error message I'm receiving?

Or are you making suggestions from trouble shooting the VPN not working? May you please clarify your suggestion?

Frittata

de0u I'm receiving this issue across multiple WiFi networks. It's a new 9a freshly turned over to graphene. I hastily uninstalled play and get this error when trying to reinstall.
