Play Store depend on having Google Play Games installed.</p>

<p>The compatibility layer has a configuration menu available at Settings ➔
Apps ➔ Sandboxed Google Play. It provides links to this usage guide, Play
services system settings, Google Location Accuracy setting, Play Store system
settings and Google settings. The Play services and Play Store system settings
are only included for convenience since they can be accessed the same way as
any other app via Settings ➔ Apps. The Google Location Accuracy and Google
settings activities would normally be integrated into the OS but we don't
include any of the standard Google Play integration so there needs to be an
app providing a way to access them.</p>
<p>The Google Location Accuracy toggle is an internal Google Play toggle for
whether it will use their network-based location service. By default, it will
only use the GNSS-based location provided by the OS. Some apps using the Play
services geolocation service will only work if network-based geolocation is
enabled if they lack a fallback to requesting the higher power usage
GNSS-based geolocation when it's disabled.</p>
<p>In the future, the Sandboxed Google Play app will provide a toggle for
geolocation redirection. By default, apps using the Play services geolocation
service will be redirected to an implementation based on the OS geolocation
service without all the advanced features. This will enable apps using it to
work out-of-the-box without needing to grant the Location permission to Play
services. This has been largely developed but still needs substantial work
before we can include it in the OS.</p>
