Is there a currently supported way to install the Play Store on #microG?
I don’t use any Google apps on my phone, but other apps I use need the Play services to verify the status of the in-app purchase. Namely, Tasker, JuiceSSH, Solid Explorer and Nova Launcher. These are all apps that rely on in-app payments that IMHO have no comparable replacement on F-Droid (yet).
The latest version of microG doesn’t seem to have the FakeStore anymore, and the Phonesky project itself has been archived. The patched Play Store app from the NanoDroid repo is old and no longer compatible with the latest microG. And Aurora can manage paid apps, but not in-app payments.
I guess that if there was a way to simply use the official Play Store signature on Aurora, or any other Play Store clone, things should work, but I’m not sure if anything has changed on the Google Play verification side.
