<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>

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>
