Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context Had to install as system app, otherwise it did not get package signature spoofing permission. The app was visible if installed via F-Droid as user app.

FakeStore is made for different purposes. Use Aurora Store or alike. Get more help in chat.

The app was visible if installed via F-Droid as user app.

It never been, fake store is made to replace a missing Google Play Store and add the intents needed for certain apps to avoid crashes. That's all.

It's not a real application.

How already said Fake Store is just a dummy application, it doesn't do anything and cannot be executed. It have to be installed because otherwise apps will nag about missing Google Play Services.
