After updating my XA2 to SFOS 3.1.0 I'm not able to use the patched Play Store from NanoDroid in combination with MicroG. This was possible SFOS 3.0.3 and allowed the use of paid Android apps. Now I'm always asked to sign in to my Google Account. The account will be added but nevertheless I can't enter the store. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

@SteBe, I made work Play Store from Nanodroid, what a did was:
- Installed from F-droid after adding the repository
- Enable the permission of "enable system package replacement"
- Then, on android settings, I go to "users and accounts" (translated from spanish, I don't now if exactly the same in english)
- Tap your Google account (if you didn't added, add from Microg)
- Sign-in & Security
- Trust on Google for the apps permission, enable it (translated from spanish)
- Allow apps to find accounts, enable it
- Use your Play Store App and let it sync, will work after a few minutes, if don't, reboot and open again and let it sync
Don't work for update apps and download, just for make work paid apps, for downloading and updating use Aurora Store or Yalp Store (fork)

I've seen similar behaviour of failing to sign into Google for some of the apps I'm using. (In my case chffr).
To access the Play Store, I use the opensource Aurora on my phone (and before that Yalp) and these have no problem signing in.

carmeloferso ( 2019-07-23 15:05:24 +0200 )edit@carmeloferso MicroG is running very fine. I already followed these instructions. And usually I use Aurora Store, but the question is about paid apps.
