I need to install the in government based app but it doesn't work on rooted phones. I understand Graphene isn't rooted but I can't test it out. I would like to know if the app works before I purchase a pixel.
Could someone be so kind as to install it and test it for me?
It's called Singpass. Red color icon with an 'i' in the middle.
Appreciate it.
Thread for discussing 3rd party app compatibility.
It would be nice if we redirected similar requests to this thread.
And the conversation that is a part of such a request happens over here.
That way we can ensure these requests don't get repeated in unrelated places
[unknown] It is important to note that GrapheneOS allows you to use Google Play Services via Sandboxed Google Play. Most, if not all of the apps listed there, or in general, will work on GrapheneOS.

matchboxbananasynergy I have removed the post referring to a third party source for this exact reason. GrapheneOS has broad app compatibility of approx. 95%+ of Android apps, banking, safetynet dependent, or memory corruption examples making up another 3% and 2% unknown outliers.
We would rather find the outliers and figure out what isn't working, why, and fix it if possible and reasonable.

Can someone verify whether making e2ee Whatsapp backups to Google Drive works?
I'm still not able to use my Merlin birdwatching app, even if I install sandboxed Google Play. Any ideas? It seems it cannot pick up the phones location, even if I give it full location permission.

XL87LGV7W9EY7Y7A5Z9B3T7N6ZRX74 which was installed first the merlin or the play services? If the former, uninstall it and reinstall as the Play Services are detected by apps on first use.
If the latter did you install using the Play Store app page in the Apps app? If not and you only installed either Play Services or GSF or both uninstall ALL and start again using the Play Store page to install all 3 required components.
You shouldn't need to give any of the Play Services components location permission as all location requests are by default routed to the OS API reliant on just GPS and not a network location service.
To get a lock you will then need a direct line of sight to the sky or even better be stood outdoors between 2-5 minutes for first lock while additional satellite data is downloaded.
You can also validate the device and OS are able to get a lock using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
Is there a spreadsheet or separate forum thread where I can document my experience using some of the banking apps in my region (Australia)?

MetropleX I validated that the GPS is getting a lock. The Merlin app is still not functional. Upon clicking the main "Start Bird ID" button the app does indeed turn on the location (the green icon appears in the upper right) but it fails to register the location in the app. Then it offers to search instead by Zip code or to place a pin in a GoogleMap manually, but these do not work either. The fact that even manually setting a location fails indicates to me that the problem is not the app accessing the phones location but something else not working. Is there any other help you could offer? I'm able to donate 1.0 XMR (Monero) to anyone who helps me get this working as birdwatching is a major hobby of mine.
I'm having issues with the Garmin Explore app freezing and crashing shortly after opening and clicking around a little bit. It's not just one thing that does it, it just seems like after a certain amount of interaction it freezes. Other Garmin apps seem to work fine but the Explore app seems to have issues. I've tried giving it all permissions, I have GSF, clearing data/cache, reinstalling the app, etc.
I have a ticket with Garmin but it's sort of dragging on, can anyone think of a reason why GOS and Explore might not get along or something I can pass long to Garmin? Or recommendation for a good logging app to give them some better diagnostic data?
estimatormap Just GSF or all the sandboxed play services apps? (GSF, Play Services and Play Store)
MetropleX Got 'em all running for Play Services.
estimatormap I have exactly the same issue. I also tried to clear cache etc. Nothing works. And Garmin Explore is the only app I have these problems with. I now use a Pixel 6 Pro. On a Pixel 4a I didn't have these problems.
