As GmsCompat (sandboxed Google Play compatibility later) development continues we get more compatibility with certain apps due to adding more workarounds with certain apps not working, like our recent fix with a shim for font loading.

In the late future we could look at how to reduce the need to install any Google Play services implementations for apps, make them just work without any services, sandboxed or otherwise. Google Camera, Android Auto, and some others just work on GrapheneOS.

In the last sentence are you saying AA already works without Play services?

It depends on Play Services but we make it run as an unprivileged app.

Thanks, I thought so because I've always seen it in the dependencies. If it could be made to work without play as a dependency that would be insane, because I don't like to run GPS in my main profile.
