sync for reddit crashed every time I opened it if play services are not installed (I am using an aosp android phone, grapheneos and lineages on a tablet) so it is kinda important that sync works without play services installed there is a better method for device attestation https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide

    Maybe lj could go down the swift backup route where purchases are tied to a Google sign in to avoid play services? You could buy the app from Google play via web, download it via aurora, then validate via in app login.

    Down side is lj would need a verification server (although he has servers for Reddit sync Imgur which he could repurpose for billing).

    Disclaimer I am not a dev just a rando lemmy, Lemite? (Idk what to call a lemmy user)

    Sync for Reddit has always worked without Play Services if you patched out the ads with Revanced Manager ;) Why the developer included a crash instead of an error message is still a mystery to me. We can’t be the first to point it out, can we? Let’s hope there will be a Revanced Patch for Sync for Lemmy.
