Hey Lemmy!

I have an app that keeps showing a pop up that it "doesn't run without Google play services". It in fact runs just fine, except for the pop up, which is extremely annoying. What are my options for removing it? And, how do apps know that I don't have Google play services?

extra details

  • I use LineageOS 21 on Android 14

  • the app is the paid version of TripView (installed via Aurora Store)

  • I tried installing microG, but it didn't remove the pop up—maybe because I haven't set up the "system spoof signature" option. But even if I do set it up, I'm concerned about:

    1. microG running some background services, wasting battery (because the app functions without any extra services)

    2. unnecessarily connecting/sending information to Google's servers

When you receive the notification you should be able to long press on it to show the options for that specific notification.

Usually, there are 2 larger horizontal options: default, and silent.

Below and to the left you might find the text: turn off notifications.

To the top right corner of the notification you should find a settings icon. If you tap that it should bring up the options for that specific notification.

And, how do apps know that I don’t have Google play services?

By requesting them and not getting anything back (very simplified)

Go to settings>apps>find the app> app info> notifications> notifications catagories > turn off play service availability

Thanks, but there isn't a "turn off play service availability" option in my settings...

That means TripView does not have any notification catagory. If you dont use this application a lot than i suggest you to install it in a separate profiles or work profile.
