- grapheneos 14d agoThe only way to use Play services on GrapheneOS is as a regular sandboxed app. It runs in the standard app sandbox without any of the usual privileged permissions, privileged SELinux policy and many other forms of special access. It also doesn't get used by the OS as a backend for anything. Our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer implements this by remapping APIs to ones available to sandboxed apps and stubbing out many which aren't needed.
