to get more of the Play services functionality working.</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/updates/removal teaching it to use the standard
unprivileged approach. It prompts the user to permit it as an app source and then
prompts for the initial app install/update or removal. It will use Android 12's
support for unattended updates when possible which means it can do unattended
updates of modern (API 29+) apps where it was the installer for the currently
installed version already.</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 assumes that uninstallation always succeeds so it will stall if
it tries to uninstall an app and you reject it. You can work around this by
force stopping and then reopening it.</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>
