depending on having highly invasive privileged access far beyond what would be
realistic to get working with an expanded compatibility layer.</p>
<p>The Play Store app cannot install and update apps as it normally would
since it depends entirely on privileged permissions for unattended app
installation, updates and removal. GrapheneOS includes a partial
implementation of fallback code to get this working. It currently isn't fully
wired up and leads to the Play Store stalling and needing to be force stopped.
For the time being, it's easier to use the alternative Aurora Store frontend
to the Play Store.</p>
<p>The Play Store app is designed to use privileged permissions for unattended
app installation, updates and removal which isn't possible on GrapheneOS since
it's not a privileged app. GrapheneOS provides a dedicated compatibility layer
for Play Store app installation teaching it to use the standard unprivileged
approach. It prompts the user to permit it as an app source and then prompts
for each app install/update. The Play Store currently doesn't get the result
for the install succeeding or failing so it will think the installation is
still in progress. You can work around this by force stopping the Play Store
after installing an app and then opening it again to install other apps.</p>
<p>Play Store feature delivery isn't currently supported, but this isn't
broadly used by current generation apps aside from large games.</p>
