- ForHackernews 6y agoYou believe less than 51% of commercial Android apps on the app store use even one single Google Play Service? No push alerts, maps, ads, etc.
- 177tcca 6y agoThere are varying (read: dropping weekly) levels of dev reliance on Google/GCM etc for those things in apps, now. I'd evaluate what you're using, because it's likely to work just fine.
- 177tcca 6y agoAlso, there's great reasons for not providing an insecure/incomplete implementation of Google services (or destroying the Android security model with Lineage) which is discussed on GrapheneOS.org — if you're interested in learning more.
