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.

Play Store feature delivery isn't currently supported, but this isn't broadly used by current generation apps aside from large games.
