microG GMSCore v0.3.6.244735 has been released on 2024-12-23.



UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS:

This is a feature and bugfix/compatibility update. There is at least one report of a new issue with this release.

If you have critical reliance on your device you may want to wait a week or two until more user reports are in before updating to this. (UNLESS you are still on 0.2.27 for UNLP reasons. Scroll to the bottom of this doc for more info before installing.)


New Features Overview


Initial Support for Play Integrity

If you need this, you probably already know what it is. We doubt this is going to be some magic solution as Google is always targeting to block custom ROM users with this tool, but it may improve compatibility for some users. Let us know how it works for you.


Add support in the Self-Check Page to show compatibility with Google’s new app signing regime

Google recently broke compatibility with Google Apps and future apps downloaded from Google Play by changing their app signing scheme.

This requires a change in your app signature spoofing solution, either inside your ROM or in an external add-on. This change will show you if your ROM or signature spoofing solution has updated to support this Google change.


Other improvements

Improve Google Play Games compatibility, general compatibility improvements, various bugfixes, language translation updates.

For a full changelog, see the links below.

UPDATING:


* This has been flagged as a PREVIEW release on the microG website and F-droid repo.

Since this is a “Preview” release, it will NOT be suggested to you as a new update unless you have your client configured to offer "unstable” software versions, or select the new version manually in the “Versions” dropdown at the bottom of the app page on F-droid.


The most straightforward way to update the microG core module for most people is by using the F-droid client, with the special microG F-droid repo added. (See our “f-droid-repo” group note here)

You can also update microG on an existing installation by downloading the new APK from the official microG Github download page or website, and install it like any other standalone APK.



REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE TWO MAIN MICROG COMPONENTS: GmsCore and microG Companion. Always update both together, and ensure the version numbers match.

If you use a ROM which bundles microG and the above update methods do not work, you may have to wait for your ROM to update to the new microG version. Ask your ROM developer.

For new installs, the 3rd-party installer bundles will be updated as per each developer's workflow.



If you're currently running version 0.2.27 or earlier for UNLP geolocation reasons, please read below before updating:

Google Apps update


If you're having problems with various Google Apps not working properly starting within the last 2 weeks or so, check this out:

Google recently changed the method used to create app signatures on all Google Apps, and will be rolling these changes out to ALL apps distributed via Google Play next year.

This requires all app signature spoofing methods (either embedded within your ROM or used as an external patch) to be updated to continue to support apps distributed via Google Play on a device running microG.


The Github comment linked below contains a list of which ROMs and signature spoofing patches have imported the changes necessary to support the new Google Play app signing mechanism.

We advise you to NOT do any updates of apps sourced from Google Play - especially paid apps or any app that does license-checking - until you have these fixes applied on your devices or those apps may stop working!



(I do not know if the linked post will be continuously updated to reflect news about other ROMs etc but it is correct as of the time of posting. Most ROMs based on LOS should get these patches eventually. Please check with your ROM maintainer.)
