Sim Manager from Google

androidin

Hi, since yesterday I get an update notification from Aurora Store that the Google Sim Manager is outdated. If I click on Update, it seems that nothing happens, nothing is installed. Maybe it has something to do with the option "Enable privileged eSim management" which I activated recently. I thought that GrapheneOS is degoogled anyway. What's the recommendation now? Just disable this option again?

androidin It's a system app that's part of AOSP and can't be updated by Aurora because it's a system app, so you can long press the app in the update screen and hit add to blacklist, so it won't ask you to update it anymore.

GrapheneOS

androidin You can't update apps signed by GrapheneOS with a build signed by Google.

Please read https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play-esim. The Google eSIM activation app is disabled by default. To use it, you can install sandboxed Google Play and enable the app. You explicitly chose to enable this app.
