F-droid issue should be fixed

I'm currently using the official phh FLOSS GSI, secure variant, which is patched for spoofing and already includes MicroG gms core. I've updated the app to the 0.2.25.223616 on the MicroG website. I'm also rooted with Magisk.

I've noticed that the newer gms cores have an inbuilt SafetyNet checker. I'm wondering whether the droidguard helper APKs are still needed to pass SN. Or are they outdated and superceded by the newer gms core versions?

I've also noticed that the latest builds of MicroG Installer Revived no longer include droidguard, but older releases did.

The GSI itself also doesn't include droidguard.

If it's needed, I can push it to priv-app manually and factory reset.

I previously got both basic integrity and CTS profile passing on this GSI. I tried Pokemon go, it wouldn't let me log in with a Google account, but did let me use my Facebook account. I was able to play for over an hour without issues. I'm thinking this might be a MicroG issue, since the game throws an error when trying to login via Google.

DroidGuard Helper is outdated and no longer used, it is now integrated inside microG GmsCore.

Nice to see you here my friend

I have installed an AOSP rom on my google pixel 6 pro. Is it possible to install microg to fake GSF? That is the only thing I need from Google.

Yes, but it will work correctly only if the ROM support signature spoofing,

Yes the ROM support it. What is the best way to install microg?

To learn it, you can start with installing it from f-droid. Make sure no GApps is installed

Okay it works. But some apps telling the play services are too old.

You need both microG GmsCore (at least v0.2.25.223616) and FakeStore (at least v0.1.0).

Not my problem, but I don't really think this user has anything to worry about. Some apps check the version of GmsCore, and because MicroG doesn't use the same versions that official Play Services use, this will naturally occur from time to time. I see it every so often (rarely), and just ignore it if the app is usable. And oftentimes they aren't really checking GmsCore version, they're actually checking Play Store. "Too old" or "missing play services" is just a generic message that has been coded in by the apps.

Are you completely sure?
Recently I have seen that some apps just check that if some features are present and if not they incorrectly presume that Google Play Services is outdated.
With the logcat we can see what features are missing and advertise them.

This is an example: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/commit/f4c9ecf1f6fc86101fdd19dbbaa10fb873efffbb

Now I'm not. As of today, I noticed that Ampere will say that Google Play Services is missing *IF* I sideload the APK (legit version, not cracked or anything, I just made a local copy of it). But if I uninstall it and then reinstall from Play Store, the message doesn't appear. It also recognizes my in-app purchase. I'm using the latest official Play Store with MicroG.

I encountered another app yesterday that gave a similar message, but I can't remember the name of the app. And it wasn't the same circumstance as above.
