hi I would like to install an app but Play Store loads indefinitely (it does not even show the percentage of download so it is stucked before downloading). Same thing for app updates.
TQ3A.230705.001.2023072600. No exploit protection compatibility mode. Install unknown apps and access to obb folders granted. No VPN. Play Store has only one permission granted : network.

That's not a bug. Something was not set up properly. Have you read through https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play and installed all 3 components of Sandboxed Google Play? Play services and the Play Store depend on each other and one will not work properly without the other. They both also depend on the Google Services Framework app.

This is a bug.
I have of course installed the 3 components a long time ago and it worked

Could you double check that Google Play Services and Google Services Framework both have the network permission enabled too?

    Try clearing Play store's cache and then force stopping it.

      Then, the play store won't detect any apps installed on the phone

      I did this.
      Play Store did not detect the presence of installed apps but I searched some of my apps and clicked on "update". It worked for like 6 apps but now same problem : apps do not update. Nor can I download any app.

      Are you using private DNS or a VPN?

      • [deleted]

      Yes IVPN but I tried with the VPN disconnected too and it does not solve the problem.

      Shot in the dark here, but are you sure you're logged in? Google had silently kicked me out out of my throwaway account a couple of days ago and it took me a good minute to figure out that this was the reason for Play Store's funky behavior.
