  • Do I need Google service for Wechat calls?

poubellier Do i necessarily have to install it from the play store on the owner profile and then install it to the sandbox profile through GrapheneOS's settings for it to work?

No, that wouldn't make a difference I'd expect.

poubellier So what could be the problem now?

Can't know for sure. I found the logs you shared on Matrix and it appears the issue you're experiencing is different. You said you installed it via Aurora. Did you install it using the session installer (if you are/were using an older version of Aurora)? If not, you can try reinstalling.

        other8026 I reinstalled Aurora latest version, and WeChat throught the session installer and the app still crashes... I don't know if any fix exists at this point

            Hi, hmm, trying to decipher my comments above, I think the thing was - go into sandbox account, log into google play, install wechat, then log out of play store, and then log back into owner account.
            Maybe have to wait a bit for the app to show / become available. Maybe restart / allow for app optimization.
            Then, set permissions against app itself, AND set the"Display over other apps" permission, which sits somewhere in the main android menu, not against the app itself (you can just search for it in the main menu).
            So, I guess the logs above on the missing flutter lib, was either a red herring or solved with install from play store.
            The enabled permissions I have against the app itself are: camera, mic, music & audio, network, notifications, photo and video, sensors.
            And then that other global permission for display over other apps.
            Hope that helps.
            I'm on version 8.0.37 / 2368

              I had the same issue in CalyxOS. In Reddit someone suggested to just download the Chinese version directly from Weixin and install it over the existing installation from the Aurora store. It only updates the installation and the installed language remains the same. But (video) calling works now.

              Maybe it would also be an option for GOS and maybe even without google play store.
