Cannot install play store keeps updating

Shoulkerturtle314

Hi. I have this issue I want to fix and its about installing the play store on grapheneos. The installing process worked with gmscompatconfig and google services framework. But when I try to install the play store it just keeps on updating the app over and over again (it drives me insane). I use a google pixel 7a and a worked profile using shelter. If anyone has any clue pls respond

Shoulkerturtle314 Hi there, I'm sorry we haven't been able to respond to your query promptly.
From a first glance, I'm not sure why you're having issues installing Google Play Store. Could you take some screenshots which show the issue you're facing?

Unfortunately, it's not simple to share screenshots on this forum, so I suggest that you join the GrapheneOS chatroom on Matrix and we help you to troubleshoot your issue there: https://matrix.to/#/#grapheneos:grapheneos.org.

Please also make sure you're following the instructions as they're given here: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play-installation.

Hi treequell. Thx for replying. My issue is that I can't seem to install the play store because it keeps updating but the other components got installed just fine. And I also tried reinstall it all at once. If you know how to solve it, hit me up on the live chat in matrix ;P

I had a similar issue (was asked to Install the Play app 4-5times)

It was related to the permissions, which default to not-allow Installation from the source you're attempting. If you look in the notification tray, you will see a message that prompts you to review/edit/change this permission with a toggle.

I know you probably resolved this months ago, but for others who run into this in the future (as I did), I thought I'd add a comment.
