  • Understanding Google Play Services and Google Services Framework

I understand that certain apps utilize GSF for things like push notifications, but I would like to understand more fully how GSF can potentially interact with apps installed through the Play Store.

Let's say I install and enable GSF and the Play Store with only network permissions for each. Then, I download Google Camera with network permissions disabled. What kind of interactions are taking place between GSF and Google Camera (if any)?

Another example, but this time with network permissions enabled: Spotify. How does GSF interact with Spotify and for what purpose? What kind of information could an app share with Google through GSF?

I have checked out other posts in this forum related to GSF, but haven't found anything definitive. Thanks!

    1. There is a bunch of material discussed about "IPC" (try a search).
    2. Can you ask some specific questions you haven't found answers to?
