What happened?

I am on a non-rooted degoogled android rom, with microg and google play services, but not the google play app itself (com.android.vending) installed. i was assuming it would work on my device, open-source and all that, but that error in the title shows every time. is there a way you could disable or fix this?

@Universal82 commented on GitHub (Feb 14, 2026):

I went digging in the source and it looks like google services are needed for something called Firebase. From very minimal research, I can guess they probably use it for storing user-generated content, like uploaded files and/or authentication. So it'll probably stick around as a dependency as long as their dev team is the size that it is. I am not a professional developer, and even less so on android, so take this with a grain of salt.
