Problem Apps

Most apps work nicely with microG. Some candidates are causing some problems. Here we're collecting problems - and hopefully solutions.
Do not submit an app here if your app is made by Google, and the logcat/stack trace shows that it is missing an "EXTENDED_ACCESS" permission, but instead open an issue report with the package name of the app, the stack trace/logcat and (preferably) the signature of the app. The issue will then be resolved in short order in a newer version of microG.
Do not submit an issue report or add an app here unless the app doesn't work with the new microG implementation of MapsV2; that is to say, Mapbox, which is undergoing testing and is included in a separate build of microG. The Mapbox build can be installed from F-Droid or the repository releases section.
If you aren't sure whether you are running a Mapbox build or not, in the about screen, Mapbox builds will be suffixed with -mapbox (foo.bar.x.yyyyyy-mapbox).
