Thread for discussing 3rd party app compatibility.

nr458h @MetropleX
I had just one version to choose at f-droid. But your post gave me the idea to delete the version from the f-droid store and install the one from Aurora. Now it works. thanx!

the_mask 🎉😄 glad to have found a resolution. Yeah F-Droid and Play apps don't just have the source as a differentiator. They normally entirely different due to the restrictions F-Droid have for publishing apps there. A lot of libraries etc can be stripped for example.

Looking to switch to a pixel 6pro with GrapheneOS, but I use my phone, a lot, for work. We use Duo, a dual authentication platform, and Microsoft office suite including onedrive. I presume all these will work within the sandbox?

HungryWhoman Yes I also use a lot of corporate apps like Duo, Okta Verify, MS Teams, OneDrive, etc and they all work within GrapheneOS using sandboxed Google Play.

XL87LGV7W9EY7Y7A5Z9B3T7N6ZRX74 I also tried using the graphene location toggle, but that did not work; I believe it briefly gave a different error, perhaps "service not available" when attempting a geolocation on the map. The map definitely looks like a Google Maps implementation, so I continue to wonder if graphene is not compatible with one of the Google geocoding APIs (Maps Javascript API client geocoder perhaps?)

See here for more:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview

A couple of observations about the Merlin app; I tested it in a factory reset Android 11 today to see its stock behavior. The geolocation lookup interface is really not great even in stock Android; for example, despite having all permissions and scanning enabled, it does not seem to use anything but GPS to get a location; if you are indoors it will simply spin. So when I tested graphene again I made sure to have a GPS lock, but no luck.

MetropleX Metroplex, I'm thinking of reaching out to the Merlin developers about this and I will ask about how they have implemented the geo-lookup functions to see if that presents a clue about the incompatibility with Graphene. Welcome any ideas on other things to ask them that may help troubleshoot.

GuyNoir Interesting. Lets remain in touch here and see if we can't crack this thing

I can't seem to get Lastpass working. Every time I log in, it instantly crashes. It would be a pain to have to swap to a new password manager.

Uber requires you to login to play services permissions and enable phone/SMS.

I haven't been able to get the Capital One bank app to launch on my GrapheneOS Pixel 6 w/sandboxed Google Play services installed. It asks for some permissions (phone and location) which I granted it, as well as I granted it all requested permissions in the app settings, but it still just crashes at the splash screen. Anyone else able to get it working, or know where I can start to figure out why it's crashing?

MetropleX Great, thank you for the links, I hadn't seen akc3n.org or the associated Github. I have since updated the Github issue, as well as added information about a bank that I also use here in the US that wasn't listed, but works without any issue on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS.

I'll have to see if I can get in contact with Capital One to find out if their app depends on SafetyNet. I wonder if there is any way to find that out from logcat or maybe running fiddler to see what the app is doing when loading for the few seconds it tries to load

Signal on Pixel 6A

When trying to send a GIF using Signal, it shows an error message from Signal saying "You are not connected to the internet"

Currently, Signal has the following permissions enabled:
Camera
Contacts
Files and media
Microphone
Network
Phone
Sensors
SMS

I have full wifi and mobile data.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Hey ! Do you plan adding support for Digital Wellbeing app ? That would be really cool ^^

MetropleX

Thank you for getting back to me.
I don't use a VPN or Orbot.

Hey all,

Love GrapheneOS, and haven't had a single issue or bug, until I tried to play a game I love, Mahjong Soul, on a separate profile (doesn't work in the mail profile either).

The app installs fine, I've done uninstalls and reinstalls, and granted it all the permissions I could, but every time I load it, the app crashes in seconds.

Full crash log below, any ideas on if I can fix it? Or should I submit an issue on GitHub?

Thank you!

[deleted] What about the other Duo, Google's video call app (that's getting merged with Meet). Does that work on GrapheneOS?

Has anyone been able to use Airlock 2FA (banking authentication app) on GrapheneOS?
The app said it needed Google Play Services.
I enabled that (also had to install & open the Play Store app) which made the error go away.

But enrollment still isn't working.
The QR code from my e-banking website is simply ignored / not recognized by the app.
No error messages, it just acts as though the QR code is not on the screen.

The GrapheneOS QR code scanner scans the QR code just fine.
Enrollment on Android works fine.

Any other Graphene-specific suggestions?
Any special permissions, etc I should be aware of?

Google Duo should work in the Google Play Sandbox.
