Can't use google play services in apps.

[SinaZK]

Hello Mr Zhou and thanks for this incredible project and answering my questions, I built redroid with the MindTheGapps google apps following docs and i can login in Google Play but no app can use google play services. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling play services from google play and no luck. Because i managed to run those apps in anbox with google play services support with no problem, I thought the problem was with the MindTheGapps. So i Rebuild Redroid with openGapps (With more google apps like Google Play Games, if you interested i can make a pull request to add guide to how to build redroid with openGapps apps). In the new build i can run google play and install apps successfully. But the problem remained and those needed apps didn't work. (found in logs that some of them can't find Google Play!). The common feature of play services needed in those apps is the location and maps, Since i found in repo issues that redroid doesn't support mock location, Maybe the problem is somehow relevant to this? Do you have any idea what is the problem and how can i solve it?

I'm not testing Google Mobile Service / Google Play Service recently. Possible ask help from OpenGApps or MindTheGapps?

I got Google Play services working in games by manaully installing OpenGApps to Redroid Android 11 image: Install GApps Manually

Do not run docker container with --rm options or it will kill itself after shutdown.

Fix GMS permissions in System settings and reboot. Resigter your device and wait for 30 minutes. Then you are good to go.

Though I still cannot download ARM64 apps from Play Store, the games won't complain about "missing play services" anymore.

@ivon852 after reboot the redroid container dies (even withouth the --rm flag), how did you do? I followed the exactly tutorial (https://groups.google.com/g/android-rpi/c/xb2fwTQbUYw?pli=1) but it not work

Has anyone solved this problem?

• Your device isn't compatible with this version ，

@helperShang can't you simply download apk file directly, via other means, and then install it?
