It absolutely can run Google. From my understanding, (when you enable it) it installs Google Play with extra steps that sandboxes each app + Play Services so that way the apps don't talk to each other and are off when you are not using the apps.

If you don't want to log in to Google, the Aurora store is an option, but theyve had a few issues recently and you likely won't get notifications on most apps. You could probably get some apps from the Amazon 3rd party app store

I think he means Google Pay, like for payments, not Play

Correct. Pay as in NFC payments. Graphene is not certified and therefore cannot use Google Pay and some banking apps.

Switch back to the plastic rectangles, it's a small price to pay. Eventually you'll be paying for everything with lightning anyway.

Does the NFC data change between payments, I wonder? πŸ€” Curious about the viability of coding an NFC card, like a Google based Bolt card πŸ˜‚

Unfortunately it is so.

It's explained here by nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c

No GPay/Wallet cannot be made to work on GrapheneOS and is a limitation in so far as Google Pay/Wallet requiring full SafetyNet compliance. GrapheneOS can pass BasicIntegrity but the OS cannot pass ctsProfileMatch as that would require GrapheneOS to be whitelisted by Google. Google Pay/Wallet requires both.

Before the idea of bypassing the checks is brought up, as some other OSes or Root methods might allow, please read the following: https://nitter.net/freechelmi/status/1553326311854276608#m
