Google play services not supported on your device...but they are installed

Firstdays

Hi everyone so iv just installed GOS for the first time and I'm loving it and it's features but iv got an issue.
I'm on a Pixel 6 on android 13.

Iv got separate profiles, one for useing Google stuff on and one for 3rd party privacy respecting apps, now I have to have Gmail etc on my Google allowing profile, I have the Google services framework and Google play services installed but whenever I open Gmail it says 'won't run without Google play services, which are not supported by your device' which isn't accurate.

Wanted to report this and ask if anyone had a fix?

Thanks for reading!

Found the fix: You need install the Play Store as well: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/914-google-play-services-breaking-for-some-apps/4

short-lived you MUST install ALL 3 packages if you wish to receive support for issues with sandboxed play services. The only package that can be installed without the other two is GSF to help with GCam as an example which doesn't require all of them.

Play Store IS NOT just a shop front, apps increasingly depend on Play Asset Delivery and Play Feature Delivery which require the official Play Store client instead of legacy OBBs which are deprecated and forbidden for new apps. Other Play Store services also require the official Play Store. Apps will increasingly depend on the Play Store for Asset/Feature delivery and other APIs.

You don't have to open it or use it, as long as it is installed it should be good. Do a reinstall of the apps just in case once you do that
