Note

Due to ongoing server issues, release to other distribution channels than GitHub, including the F-Droid repository, will be delayed.

Release artifacts

• Users on devices with an aftermarket custom operating system ("Custom ROM") that supports microG should install com.google.android.gms-250932016.apk and com.android.vending-84022616.apk. These versions are also distributed through the microG F-Droid repository.
• Users on Huawei devices running original operating system (EMUI or HarmonyOS) that supports microG should install com.google.android.gms-250932016-hw.apk and com.android.vending-84022616-hw.apk. These versions are also distributed through Huawei AppGallery.
• org.microg.gms-250932016-user.apk is a development preview for special situations. Do not use it if you want to install microG regularly.

New Features

Work Profile

You can now sign into various work accounts that setup a work profile when using microG. As microG does not comply with all functionality imposed by organization administrators, you need to enable this feature manually in microG Settings > Work profile. Together with this comes functionality to view and install apps suggested by the organization administrator through the Play Store.

Play Feature Delivery

Apps can request installation of additional languages or features from split packages. You can activate this from microG Settings > Play Store

Face detection

This release ships with initial support for Google's Face Detection API. This functionality is still very incomplete, but works for some apps using it.

New Features

Play Integrity

This release ships with an initial implementation of Play Integrity based on our previous work on SafetyNet. You can enable it using the device attestation toggle in SafetyNet settings. Note that, just as SafetyNet, this feature currently requires running proprietary DroidGuard code on your device. The attestation results also depend on similar factors that would influence the SafetyNet results, so if your device did not pass SafetyNet, you likely won't get a better Play Integrity result than MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY.

Changelog

• Play Integrity: Add initial support (#2599). Thanks @DaVinci9196.
• Games: Add support for snapshots, achievements and leaderboards (#2576). Thanks @DaVinci9196.

New Features

Play Asset Delivery

Play Asset Delivery is used mostly by Games to download additional resources that are to large to ship with the app itself. This new feature is disabled by default (except on -hw builds), so to use it you have to enable it in microG Settings -> "Play Store services" -> "Enable on-demand asset delivery". Note that this feature requires configuring a Google Account in microG and it is still experimental and known to not work in all situations.

Changelog

• Maps:
  • Fix InfoWindow view reuse causing crashes (#2567). Thanks @fynngodau.
  • Fix exceptions and map view drift in HMS implementation (#2593, #2603, #2608). Thanks @DaVinci9196.

New features

Sign-In

microG now supports signing into apps and games that use Google as one or their only sign-in options. This features is still experimental and doesn't work for all apps.

SMS retriever API

microG now supports the SMS retriever API. Apps can use the SMS retriever API to automatically fill confirmation codes received by SMS contains an app specific token or the user confirms that the app shall be allowed to read the SMS content. This API does not requires the app to have access to your SMS (but microG needs such access).

Google Account configuration

microG now allows to configure various settings, privacy options and manage account links of your Google account. You can open the settings from system settings or directly from various Google Apps.

AppInvite's and dynamic links

microG now fully supports opening short dynamic links created for sharing in various apps or statically by the app developer. These links typically end in .page.link or .app.goo.gl. microG will open the corresponding app if installed or fallback to either the corresponding web site (if available) or the app page in the installed app store.

Changelog
