Best way to install sandboxed gapps only for selected apps
Hi! What would be the best way to limit play serbices to only selected apps. I still need notifications to work from them, but would like to be sure that google can't access anything else
You're viewing a single thread.
AFAIK, the only way to limit certain apps using GPS is to install in another profile.
https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play will give you the complete rundown on how this works.
So if I have two profiles, one with and one without play services and the profile with play services is not active, there's no active pinging and telemetry going on?
Truthfully, I'm not sure. There is a way to get notifications from a second profile when on the main profile so I stands to reason there is something happening on the second profile. I don't use a second profile so I can't give a first hand account. It's why I posted the link for reference.
If the profile with Google services is quiesced like suspending your work profile, then no activity should be seen on the network at all. No keep alive no pings etc
That's great. Love this sand boxing.
That is a great rundown, thanks! How would I install them on a different custom rom? Upon installing their "apps" store, i can't see the google play services (this might be because I'm currently on stock)
Sandbox Google Play is just for GrapheneOS. As far as I know, doesn't work anywhere else.
