Pixel Camera works without sandboxed Google Play services again with the GmsCompatLib version 100 update available in our App Store for GrapheneOS 2025102300 or later.
The same changes will also be bundled in the next #GrapheneOS release, but this is our first out-of-band GmsCompatLib update which we'll be using to avoid needing OS releases to fix nearly any GmsCompat (sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer) related compatibility issues.
It includes 2 fixes for other things too.
#GrapheneOS GmsCompatLib version 100 released.
- extend shim for background service starts to address edge cases where a foreground service is required
- add shim implementation of GmsFontProvider to prevent crashes of apps depending on Play services when it's missing or disabled (restores support for using Pixel Camera without Play services)
- fix NoOpPrewarmService chain crash in Pixel Camera caused by lack of privileged OS integration
