Gcam-Services-Provider: Crashes on Android 11 (Gcam >=7.5)

Pixel 4a, RattlesnakeOS, Android 11 (RP1A.201005.006.2020.10.06.13)

Using the .apk files from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera, the 7.4.x apk’s don’t crash but any of the 7.5.x .apk files do (7.5.105.323030203 and 7.5.107.326355469). I tried both the latest release of Gcam-Services-Provider and built from source with the same result.

This is what logcat outputs:

For me something along these lines worked:

adb push app-debug.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell pm install --force-queryable /data/local/tmp/app-debug.apk

Compiling the app yourself is not necessary (but recommended anyways).

So their is no way without Android Studio or using ADB ?

I mean, you could probably do it from the handset in a root shell in Terminal or Termux, as long as you’ve copied the apk to internal storage somewhere (for example, /sdcard/Download), then just pm install --force-queryable /sdcard/Download/app-debug.apk and be good to go. I know this is necroposting, but it’s still something folks are dealing with, and your release still works; just had a user do this to get Arnova82’s latest GCam 8.1 port working successfully without any GApps/microG installed on crDroid 7.5 (android 11) on a OnePlus 6T.

@ProjectMoon Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I pushed a fix and created a new release.

your comment made me realize i should connect my phone to the pc and install apk using android studio, not sideloading it like i was until now. Thank you very much, now it works perfectly like it was before.

maogr235 on Dec 11, 2020

For all of you building the app from source, if you set --force-queryable as install flag in Android Studio, it will work again with version 7.5.

Edit: Has anyone who is running into this issue has tried re-installing the services-provider?

lukaspieper on Dec 10, 2020

I ran into this as well, and for the fun of it I installed microG services core as a user app on a ROM with no signature spoofing. All microG permissions and Google integrations are disabled. With microG installed, Google Camera 7.5 runs just fine. So there must be some new APIs that require implementation in this project.
