GmsCompatConfig version 165 released (github.com)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Changes in version 165:

disable DeviceDoctor subsystem to avoid failing to notify users about certain Play services crashes from it killing the process after handling uncaught exceptions itself

A full list of changes from the previous release (version 164) is available through the Git commit log between the releases (only changes to the gmscompat_config text file and config-holder/ directory are part of GmsCompatConfig).

GmsCompatConfig is the text-based configuration for the GrapheneOS sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. It provides a large portion of the compatibility shims.

This update is available to GrapheneOS users via our app repository and will also be bundled into the next OS release.

What exactly is GMS Compat?

[–] KindnessInfinity@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Compatibility layer that allows the user to install google play store without giving it an additional privileges to OS level API and such. More about it may be read here https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

Oh, so that's the secret sauce behind the sandbox Gplay?

[–] KindnessInfinity@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, it's what let's google play run.
