I need to use the GroupMe messenger app for work. I installed it in another user profile, but I attempt to login or create a new account it closes the app.

What steps do I go through to determine if I need GSF on this profile to make it work? Or are there other setting sthat may be preventing it's functioning?

Thanks

I presume you're referring to this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.groupme.android?

I just tested the app on two user profiles, one with Google Play Services installed, and one without.

In the profile with Google Play Services installed, I was able to create a new account using my email address fine.

In the profile without Google Play Services installed, when I tried to create a new account, the app crashed.

Therefore, it appears that you do indeed need Google Play Services installed to use this app.

    Thats the correct app. Thanks for troubleshooting for me. I'm still new to GOS so I am setting things up bit by bit.

    Is there an article that describes the best way to have google play services in a profile? Additionally, if I let GroupMe send notifications across profiles, will that give info to GPS additional info?

      I was unable to make a new account with play services installed. Does GPS and GSF require certain permissions?

        Please see https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play-installation

        crowfather Additionally, if I let GroupMe send notifications across profiles, will that give info to GPS additional info?

        No, enabling notification forwarding doesn't give Google any additional info. The notification forwarding is handled by the OS, not Google Play Services. That said, GroupMe may depend on Google Play Services for receiving push notifications in the first place.

        You need to give all three of Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Services Framework the network permission. I don't believe any additional permissions are required.

        Let me know how you get on.

                treequell sorry, cause I am replying on this comment. But I don't have matrix account..

                I just want to ask question

                I am using sparkos Feb version with GMSCompat.
                I am just updating The "GMSCompat Config" apk
                From github of grapheneOS.
                GMSCompat apk is Still old which is in Feb. I even checked graphene OS github for GMSCompat I don't see any major changes. And there is no any apk file to update the GMSCompat.

                But for config there is Apk. So just updating Config enough for privacy. Or I should have to stop using sandboxed Gapps.

                    treequell Thanks for the help. I was able to get it installed and login. It event functions with play services not having network access. I haven't tried the notification forwarding yet.
