The Deutsche Bahn navigator mentioned in the article runs fine without Google Play Services. The only thing missing is the map view. And you can use yalp to install and update it.
- cJ0th 8y agoI downloaded it from uptodown a few weeks ago and can confirm that it runs fine without google play services. It only gives you an error message on some occasions which you can ignore. However, I don't really trust uptodown. When I asked them where they sourced their apps from I didn't get a reply. I also mailed DB and they said they publish to Google Play only. Now I've checked the apk file with various online tools but I still feel slightly uneasy about it. I really hope that one day institutions like public transport operators and public service broadcasters publish they apps in google-free stores. I don't want to depend on the Google Playstore one day because there's no other way to purchase an electronic ticket or to use tv on demand services.
