Hiding Google play services for some apps

NewUser

Any way to prevent one user installed app from accessing Google play services on the same profile? A command, a setting, any trick... ?

What do you mean by stopping an app accessing Google Play Services?

All apps are sandboxed on GrapheneOS, and it's not possible for an app to access the app data of another app, Google Play Services or otherwise.

If you mean that you don't want the app to know you've got Google Play Services installed on the same profile, the only way to do that is by installing the app in a separate profile.

treequell thank you for the reply. I just wanted to prevent some apps from using google play services, as this is not necessary for their running.

treequell it's not possible for an app to access the app data of another app, Google Play Services or otherwise.

Apps can access data of another app with mutual consent.

I think I saw a picture that the GrapheneOS developers are currently working on a solution to control IPC. Is that true? Would it be possible hide play services then?
