    Are you sure it won’t apply? As far as I understand, it’ll apply to all devices with Google services installed. Which includes most ROMs, as well as non-Google ROMs after you manually install gapps. Is my understanding off?

      On GrapheneOS Play Services is sanboxed, so it cant affect other installation sources. It’s just one source of many.

      The requirements apply to all “Google-certified Android devices” which includes:

      Devices with Google Play Store

      Devices with Google Mobile Services (GMS)

      Devices with Play Protect

      All mainstream Android devices from manufacturers including Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus, and Google Pixel

      Custom ROMs without Google services & uncertified devices are not affected by these restrictions.

      From the linked wiki.

      I don’t have Google services, nor do I ever plan to install them. I’m perfectly happy with F-Droid, Aurora Store and NeoStore.

        Soon aurora store may stop working. They could add some crap to the apks in the play store that checks whether the phone has google services. So either the devs put their apks somewhere available (like on fdroid, which most wont do), or theyll just put their binaries on the play store, which will just be a useless blob for those that dont have play services. Then we get another shitty cat an mouse game about spoofing play services, them catching up, on repeat.
