Maybe. Go into Play Store store settings(android app settings) -> open by default and turn off open supported links. Not sure it’ll work for you but give it a try
I was speaking in general. If this is about Sync specifically I see a “Show a reminder to update when available” options under General in the settings that may be related.
Great find! It’s all coming together - android-delivered function that the app uses to trigger this google play popup and in this particular case the dev was nice enough to give an option to disable it. Thank you and everyone else participating in the investigation!
This doesn’t fix your problem but what I believe you are seeing is something asking you to update Google Play Services , this isn’t related to the Play Store.
GPS contains libraries and other things apps need to function.
An oversimplification would be that it is an analog to Android System Webview which enables web browsing in most apps not based on Firefox.
No, it’s definitely asking (demanding at this point) to update the app I start. I hid the name and icon of the app because it’s irrelevant and didn’t want to divert the discussion (it’s Sync for Lemmy). It’s possible though that the app triggers this pop-up from play store via some function.
Strictly speaking, that is a solution. Fair point though, I forgot it had limited support. Still, there are other alternative OS out there you could look for.
edit: I guess fuck me for having a fallible human memory, sorry everyone i learned my lesson i’ll never mention alternative os ever again. also how is the “foss” part being ignored. fdroid? alternative stores? degoogle? hello?
Why did you get downvoted so hard lmao? GrapheneOS doesn’t support that many phones but LineageOS has support for many phones, though unfortunately the latest Samsung phones have their bootloaders locked I believe so nothing can be done about the OS.
I didn’t have “Still, there are other alternative OS out there you could look for.” in the initial draft but even then, 6/23 is a fuckin ratio for “get a different os or get rid of google”
they hadn’t said what kind of phone they had before I mentioned it, and i already said I forgot only pixel was supported atm. you’re taking me in bad faith, and i dont appreciate it.
