Exciting news, cheers. Do we still need to reinstall all existing Android apps after installing microG?

Is this only on the XA2s (with their AOSP8-based AlienDalvik) or also on earlier models (rsp. versions of AlienDalvik) after upgrading to SFOS 3.1.0?

@jollajo :

From experience, if you already have an older MicroG install (e.g.: using the docker by yeoldegroove in the howtos), no, you don't need to re-install, just to re-enable Signature Spoofing.

According to MicroG's FAQ, if you do not have an older install, but did just freshly install MicroG, you need to re-install every single app that relies uppn Google Cloud Mrssage to force them to re-register the cloud service (well at least the apps that you want to register... e.g.: not necessarily for notorious spies. See ny howto about autostart). In my personal experience, no need to fully un-install and re-install, just installing this week's update is enough (tested with my WhatsApp instance)

Even if Google Play is installed and working, installing apps with the Google Play app won't work, as you will remain eternally stuck in download pending as you describe. However, most (or even all?) of the Google Play alternatives will work. I use Aurora Store.

PRO apps - what is that? If you mean paid apps, I can update paid apps I already had, but I cannot purchase new aps - clicking the "purchase" button does nothing.

for buying new apps, you can buy from you're browser loggin with your account, then, download and will work
