Android app fails to launch without Google Play installed

Open An-anonymous-coder opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

If Google Play Services are not installed on the device, Audius Music will crash on launch.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install a custom Android distribution that does not include Google Play Services by default (e.g. GrapheneOS)
  2. Install Audius Music (e.g. through Aurora Store)
  3. Open Audius Music
  4. The app will crash on launch because it fails to load com.google.android.gms.cast.framework.dynamite

Expected behavior

The app should work without Google Play Services installed.

Dev Environment (more info the better!):

  • OS: Android 15 (GrapheneOS)
  • App Version: v1.1.468 (780)

Additional context GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused custom Android distribution. It does not include Google Play Services by default over privacy concerns.
