<p>GrapheneOS will never include either Google Play Services or another implementation
of Google services like microG. Those are not part of the Android Open Source Project
and are not required for baseline Android compatibility. Apps designed to run on
Android rather than only Android with bundled Google apps and services already work on
GrapheneOS, so a huge number of both open and closed source apps are already available
for it. Open APIs not tied to Google will continue to be implemented using open source
providers like the Seedvault backup app. Text-to-speech, voice-to-text, non-GPS-based
location services, geocoding, accessibility services, etc. are examples of other open
Android APIs where we need to develop/bundle an implementation based on existing open
source projects. Compatibility with apps depending on Google APIs / services will be
improved by implementing them in a way that pretends Google has stopped existing and
the servers are unavailable.</p>
