feat(googlenews): v5.163 support + fix fresh-install sign-in loop#42
Merged
Conversation
…fresh-install sign-in loop) Bisection against the first working releases shows the ONLY functional change to the GMS string-transform logic since then was commit 7342da2, which added com.google.android.gms.auth.aang.events.services.START to the transform set. That action is returned by getStartServiceAction() in the app's aang auth client (verified in v5.161 DEX, qca.smali) to bind the AANG account-events service. MicroG RE has no service registered under the rewritten "app.revanced.*" action, so the bind targets a non-existent service and the fresh-install account-add return flow never completes — sign-in loops after login. Updates from an already-signed-in build are unaffected because the account already exists and this path is not re-triggered. Leaving the action untransformed (as "com.google.*") restores the behaviour of the first working releases.

Ported the CustomTabs fingerprints to v5.163 (obfuscated names shifted).
Verified against the base.apk DEX of gn1.apkm:
Launcher CT flag Ladut;->i:Z -> Ladzz;->i:Z (read by 5 handlers)
Handlers Lajdq/Ladwc/ -> Lajpv/Lajtq/Lajtj/Laebi/Lajqc
Lajdx/Lajhe/Lajhl
Experiment flag Laqrp;->a -> Lardw;->a
Switch Ladvb -> Laeah
Enabled picker Ladvi -> Laeao
Disabled picker Ladvf -> Laeal
Picker interface Ladvd -> Laeaj
GmsCore support is string-based and version-independent; v5.163 added to
its compatibility list. Bumped versions.json and patches-list.json.

changed the title
The build_pull_request workflow compiled the patches but uploaded nothing, so PRs had no downloadable .mpp for testing. Add an upload-artifact step (name: patches-pr) mirroring build_dev, so PR builds produce a testable bundle without having to merge to dev first.

Zwei zusammengehörige Änderungen — ergibt einen Test-Build, mit dem Fresh-Install-Login auf v5.163 direkt geprüft werden kann.
1. Fresh-install sign-in loop fix (aang events action)
Bisection gegen die ersten funktionierenden Releases: die einzige funktionale Änderung an der GMS-Transform-Logik seither war Commit
7342da2, dercom.google.android.gms.auth.aang.events.services.STARTzur Transform-Liste hinzufügte.Diese Action ist das
getStartServiceAction()-Ziel des AANG-Konto-Events-Service (verifiziert im DEX). MicroG RE registriert keinen Service unter derapp.revanced.*-Variante → Bind ins Leere → Konto-Return bei Neuinstallation scheitert, Login-Schleife. Updates eines eingeloggten Builds sind nicht betroffen (Konto existiert schon). Fix: Action nicht mehr transformieren.2. Google News v5.163.0.947799485 Support
CustomTabs-Fingerprints auf v5.163 portiert (obfuskierte Namen verschoben), gegen
gn1.apkmbase.apk DEX verifiziert:Ladut;->i:ZLadzz;->i:Z(5 Handler)Laqrp;->aLardw;->aLadvbLaeahLadviLaeaoLadvfLaealLadvdLaeajGmsCore ist string-basiert/versionsunabhängig → v5.163 nur zur Kompatibilitätsliste hinzugefügt.
Test plan
Hinweis: lokaler Build hier nicht möglich (private
MorpheApp/registryaußerhalb Token-Scope); CI baut die MPP. Fingerprint-Änderung ist strukturgleich zur funktionierenden v5.161-Version, alle Referenzen lösen auf.
