@GrapheneOS sometimes I need to use Google Maps

My concern is that when I'm signed into and using Google Play Store it automatically links it to signing into Google maps. What's a solution to staying signed out of google maps?

(I do not grant google maps my location permission)

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm I've said I don't want to give an example of the apps as I obviously have an anonymous X account & revealing would show the countrylies my banks are in, info on my financial status, etc. Its unnecessary

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm I don't think I've ever said that I installed apps on graphene via Aurora.

When I say "too" I meant that most of the apps that don't work on graphene do I iodeos and that's despite them being installed from aurora.

Your notorious knee-jerk hostility rears its ugly head again.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm As I said, the apps on graphene were installed with google play store. The apps on Iodeos were obviously via Aurora store.

If aurora store was the issue why do the apps that work on Iodeos not work on graphene?

I've followed all your steps yet iodeos is still performing better?

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm I'll turn off developer options and retest.
Although, I have developer options enabled on my iodeos phone and that still performs better.

The apps on Iodeos were all installed via aurora too. I'm certain they're doing something you're not which keeps more apps working.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm There are some crossed out on that list that also don't work for me and others that are not crossed out that also don't work.

How up to date is that list? I suspect many of those apps have since been updated and now don't work.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm So looks like I'm ticking all boxes here.... How come half a dozen more apps are working for me on Iodeos than on graphene still?

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm Where am I going wrong with this?

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @Joshua977538683 @ComteSalm Google play services was installed upon set up before any other apps were installed.

"Enable the per-app exploit protection compatibility mode"

Let me just pull out my programming degree.

What's the path per app to address that?

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@Joshua977538683 @GrapheneOS @ComteSalm The apps will just either close or give a vague message saying something went wrong, technical issue or some will actually say device is not compatible

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@Joshua977538683 @GrapheneOS @ComteSalm For me it goes:

IodeOS - Most compatible
CalyxOS - Less compatible
GrapheneOS - Least compatible

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@Joshua977538683 @GrapheneOS @ComteSalm I don't want to do that publicly as they're all finance / banking apps mostly and it would reveal a lot about me.

But other than native X and native Grok I think all of them are banking apps.

And only a couple don't work on Iodeos.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @ComteSalm I use GrapheneOS much more than Iode. I would LOVE it to be true that Graphene is compatible with more apps than Iode or LineageOS or even Calyx but that's not my experience.

If so, tell me where I'm going wrong. What do I change?

Google play services are already enabled btw.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@CalyxOS Graphene did it in like a month with no time off and maintaining all their other security updates and devices.

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@CalyxOS ..... Why not?

You've had a hiatus to restructure so as to address the recent Google changes. Google Pixels are the main device you focus on. Yet, you have no plans to support its model line that'll become a generation old next month?

What have you been doing for a whole year?

[TechContent @TechContentinfo]

@GrapheneOS @ComteSalm Sorry, that's not my experience at all. I have two Pixel phones. One with GrapheneOS and the other with Iodeos.

Far fewer apps work for me on GrapheneOS than they do Iodeos.

Particularly banking apps.

I can use most banking apps on iode and maybe 20% of those on GrapheneOS
