Referring to this question, because I am facing the same problem right now. I can see there are updates, but all it says in Google Play Store is "Download pending" which may have to do with what is mentioned in this article.

One of the apps is completely blocked from running because it must update to the new version (because of security issues).

Does anyone know if Google now is blocking uncertified devices from app updates from the play store ?

Does anyone know how to downgrade the Google Playstore app on Sailfish OS ?

Device : Intex Aqua Fish Sailfish OS: 2.0.5.6 (Haapajoki)

It works for me, so the problem is not this one.

@Giancomo: Did you update to the latest google play store ?

I guess so, since starting this morning the appearance of the application list has changed.

I too have the latest and it works fine. But maybe a couple of months ago I had the same issue as you. Restarted alien dalvik, rebooted the phone, cleared caches from the play store app, nothing fixed it. But then I just left it, and it had fixed itself the next day I think. Doesn't help in diagnosing the problem I guess, but perhaps "wait and see"?

Even after downgrading, play store updates to latest version within seconds.

Admittedly still on Haapajoki 2.0.5.6 but downgrading to 7.3.2.5 and changing attributes still works:link text Unfortunately do not have enough karma to include screenshot in comment link text

This situation is getting me pretty worried. SailfishOS without play store will not stay relevant for me long...

It is the same problem described here: https://together.jolla.com/question/160541/is-sailfish-blocked-from-google-play-store/

use YALP in the meantime: https://fossdroid.com/a/yalp-store.html you can log in with your google account

For me it works that (with Jolla C and Pico installer from coderus) I let Play Store to update and do whatever it wants, but I update and download programs from elsewhere (eg. Yalp Store). Google Services stay up to date, and programs which need them to be updated are working normally.

I tried many hints to fix the download pending problem on my JollaC and always it reappeared. Few days ago I managed to install my bank app via a link on their web page and suddenly realized that I can live without an updated app. Log in play.google.com then install or reinstall the app you need. The process is not so clear than via an app but it works.
