Support for official Google Play Games apk [$210]

[ale5000-git]

It would be nice to have the APIs used by Google Play Games and the official Google Play Games apk working correctly :)

When I open Google Play Games I get "com.google.android.gms.games.app.PowerUpApplication is having problems with Google Play Services."

Here is the logcat to get some hint: https://www.zerobin.net/?0e026f4c2fa6a878#1BUMnxcFvzeF5Li3X1wi/ISY4K2vBWnOoCRwHgMhkVE=

Any news on this ? :)

[ale5000-git]

I get a notification of your comment but I don't see it.

[Miaourt]

@ale5000-git Yeah, I was thinking someone asked 5$ to get this working, and deleted my post after I saw I where wrong xD, I will add 5$ more by few days I think :) !
Edit : there we are

Logcat from CyanogenMod 14.1 (Android 7.1) => Google Play Games problem.txt

[ale5000-git]

Has anyone tested microG with this?

It doesn't fix this issues but it is a good workaround in the mean time.

[Miaourt]

It simply disable the gplay hint right ? My game need to log in to fetch my account :(

[ale5000-git]

@Technowix: I think yes but I haven't tried.
Could you mention a game that need to log in to fetch account? Just for reference.

[Miaourt]

@ale5000-git I'm targeting Dynamix to work, but as I said they rely on the google play framework to store/manage paid account (that I have for unlocking more songs to play)

[Ningyoplug]

Love Live! School Idol Festival also uses Google Play Games to store account info. I'm trying to access my account that used to be on another device but can't because Google Play Games won't work. :c

NEO Scavenger yields this crash: https://gist.github.com/licaon-kter/920c77d2cec698cd993665c07b150286

[MOVZX]

Clash of Clans requires Google Play Games API.

[licaon-kter]

Regarding NEO Scavenger:

• on one device with microG - black screen
• on another device with microG - works ok
• on one device with Google Service (disabled/enabled/updated/etc) - black screen

:-| strange

Bounty is now $150

I have the same problem too
Parralel space fully support Google services and Google Play Games, why not VirtualXposed??

[ghost]

Wow didnt know you can run vm on phone. Tested, it's working. Google play games working perfectly yaay!

[ghost]

I honestly don't see much point in choosing uG and then installing GMS again but just in a container. Isn't the point of all this to remove Play Services entirely?
GPL is essentially if you distribute (modified) copies or substantial portions of the program, these copies must retain the license and source code for them must be also available. So it is clear that VMOS is violating this. There exists https://gpl-violations.org/, there is some information there.

[Miaourt]

@nm111 sadly as many of the people there know, it's almost impossible to use most now common android apps without Google's services.
So being able to use them with microg is fine, being able to use them in a isolated environment might be even easier and better privacy wise, since they are isolated ?

[ghost]

@Miaourt yes much easier especially for running multiple accounts on non root device. I was using Virtualxposed too that has microG installer but play games don't work. Parallel space support google services but outdated.
VMOS is actually more compatibility than those parallel apps

[ale5000-git]

We should be talking about re-implementing APIs needed for Play Games here not about a thing not related.

[ghost]

I don't think more devs are willing to waste time implementing it than a single user who tried. It's still a lack of interest :(

[nift4]

Just for clarifictaion: The thing that user did here is only an definition on how games communicate with Google Play Games, not any work to get the Play Games app work.

[ghost]

But he deleted his Github account after that :(

[nift4]

because he didn't need it anymore

[SQueen2k1]

160$ Bounty now

[nift4]

nope, there are updates recently as you see. and this is just hard and not high priority. why don't you just add Play Games support?

[ghost]

I'm not a developer. You can't just tell somebody like that

[chris42]

You mean it is impolite to say? Like "This project is dead already, no one care about microG and bounty"?

It is how Open Source works. If someone has the time he can work on the topics. If your topic is not high priority you will need more people with more time. So find someone who is willing to program it for $160 or learn to do it yourself. If both is not an option you have to wait.

[ghost]

Is bounty $210 or still $160? i'm confused

[MartinX3]

Please click on the bounty link in the first post for up to date results.
There must be an issue with the bounty bot writing the wrong title.

[ghost]

Okay thank you

[ghost]

wait I'm confused is this for the app or do the actual games themselves have issues?

[ale5000-git]

I think some Games require Google Play Games while on others it may be optional or not used at all.

oh I see

[AtFreezingPoint]

Still nothing on this?

[manuth]

Just throwing in the fact, that "Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth" is affected by this as well.
If it is of any help, I could set up /e/OS on an Android device in order to collect logs.

Would that be of any help to some upcoming developer willing to implement this?

[ale5000-git]

@manuth
Currently there isn't any need for a log since it is a missing feature, until it is implemented there is nothing to do.

[manuth]

Alright - thank you so much for your rapid answer 😄

[account183892]

Sad to see that no one is working on this (this should be high priority)

[licaon-kter]

@account183892 there were some game fixes in latest versions, did you update to 0.3.2 and tested?

[account183892]

Play Games opens but when you play the built in games it will crash
